Safari isn't saving a specific Username/Password

OK, this one has stumped me... I am a member of a few site/forums, and for some reason one of them that I go to regularly stopped saving the username/password.. Its not the site, because on my other computers it is saved - so its not that its being blocked (and I am checking the 'Save password' box).. Its just from my MBP. And its only that one site.. It'll stay in place if I close the window, but once I exit out of Safari, I need to re-enter it. My UN/PW info saves here at MacRumors without any problem, as it does for any other forum I go to.
I tried File > Empty Cache and File > Reset Safari, but no luck - still won't save for that one site..
I also tried checking/resetting the Safari Preferences> AutoFill settings, no luck.. Even went as far as to check keychain - there was nothing saved specifically for this site, but I still cleared out any internet passwords. No luck.
Is there anything else I can clear out? (I have OnyX, ran through the cleaners there and it didn't help either)...
Ideas?

Thanks for the response, but no luck:
In your Application>Utility folder, open Keychain.app. In the spotlight panel, enter the name of the web site. Highlight it, then Edit menu>delete.
-> Typed in the name of the site, doesn't come up.
Next, go to the Keychain Menu>Keychain First Aid. After entering your password, select "repair". If any errors appear, rerun until you get a clean pass.
-> Still went ahead and did this. Did find an error with my mail keychains - and fixed it.
Restart Safari.
->Done
Go to your Safari Menu>Preferences>Security>Cookies. Remove any cookies relative to that particular web site.
-> Did this too, There were a few from the site.
Enter the URL and complete the UN/PW etc. You ought to see a prompt panel asking you to save the password.
-> Didnt' ask me to save UN/PW
Next, quit/restart Safari. Try the web site again. Did the PW etc. stick?
-> Nope.
i'm still stumped!

Safari isn't saving Username or Password?

Even though enabled this ipad will not save usernames or passwords for any site.
Any ideas please?

You must turn off Private Browsing.
Tap "Private" on Safari Screen to disable Private Browsing. When top of screen is white, Private Browsing is off.

Safari/KeyChain Not Saving Yahoo Mail Login/Password information?

I have a MacBook Pro laptop, Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 and Safari browser Version 5.1.7 Snow Leopard. The problem is ... I recently changed my passwords on my Yahoo Mail accounts.   Safari will not prompt to save my login information for Yahoo Mail. It works with other web sites and worked with yahoo mail before I changed passwords.
My attempts to correct the problem have been unsuccessful. I have tried the following:
1. Ran Updates
2. Clicked on Safari > opened Preferences >clicked Auto-Fill all 3 boxes checked
3. Finder >Applications > utilities > KeyChain     I found Yahoo mail and removed the old ones.
4. With KeyChain open > Clicked KeyChain Access > Clicked KeyChain First Aid and Verify    No problems found
5. KeyChain Access> File > New Password Item> Typed in KeyChain item Name as https://login.yahoo.com and tried mail.yahoo.com typed in Information and saved.
I have checked the apple sites, the only thing I have found is what I did in #2. the boxes were already checked.
May be I am missing the obvious here. If there is a solution I would appreciate the help. ?

I'm having the exact same issue with Yahoo only on my iMac after changing the password. I've been trying to fix it since yesterday, and yes I'm updated. I also tried several fixes for the trojan. Not luck for me yet.
Corrections Completed for Safari 5.1.7:
1- verified all updates completed
2- deleted cookies for everything
3- deleted keychain access for yahoo account. Interesting is that after deleting cookies and keychain, the username and old password keep populating but it hasn't stored the new password because I never received the prompt to store.

Lost all autofill usernames & password after migration & upgrade to leopard

I recently got a new imac, migrated all my old info to the new machine, then upgraded to leopard. now safari has none of my previous usernames & passwords stored in autofill preferences. can i go back to my old machine and find a prefernce list or something to put on my new imac so i don't have to go refigure all my usermanes & passwords?
i transferred from the old half-dome imac to a new 24" imac, which i LOVE!!

Be sure to use software update to get the latest version of Leopard 10.5.1. Then, if the passwords still do not appear, try this:
I found this answer on another discussion question.
Open Utilities:Keychain Access
Click on Passwords in left column
Scroll down to "Safari Forms Autofill" and double-click
Open access control window
Click radio button that says "Allow all applications to access this item"
Close window--you will be prompted for your password.
Note: this works for other items in the password window.

Where is username/password in webservice call

Hi,
I'm have a webservice client based on a simple WLS sample client that makes a
call of the form:
<my service name>Port port = <my service name>_Impl().get<my service name>Port()
The get<my service name>Port can optionally take "username" and "password" parameters
to allow the client to invoke a secured web service. How are "username" and "password"
passed? In the SOAP message itself, in HTTP...? I dumped the SOAP request using
the verbose option and do not see the username or password.
We want to be able to have .NET clients invoke these secured web services also
and have not been able to figure out how a .NET client specifies username/password
to invoke our web service. Has anyone done this?
Thanks in advance.

WLS use HTTP basic auth. The user name and passwd are in the HTTP
header.
I know that we test basic auth with .Net, but not sure how to set username
and passwd in the .net client.

How can i make Safari on the Touch saving my Usernames/Passwords?

I found out, that Safari on my Touch doesn't save any Usernames/Password. So, everytime i visit a website i.e. my website-gui, the touch ask me everytime for the Username and the password. That is somehow crap! Does anyone knows how to change that?

Second that.
Only beta, but very cool.
Just tried it - it was built for the iPhone, but works fine on the Touch.
BTW, it's also one great password manager, and have great support.

Master Password for Saved Username & Passwords

I have been a Firefox user for many years - avoiding Safari - until I found out there are a number of plugins that I need and will make using Safari a possibility. One feature I LOVE on Firefox is the way it handles passwords. I have one Master Password that I have to enter in order for Firefox to auto-fill my username and password that is saved.
Is there a way to do this in Safari? Is there a free plugin that will add this feature?

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
s there a way to do this in Safari? Is there a free plugin that will add this feature?
Yes. No need for a plugin.
You don't need third party software for usernames and passwords. You have the Keychain Access application already. (Applications/Utilties).
To set Safari preferences, launch Safari. From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences. For usernames and passwords select the Autofill tab.
Select the box next to: Usernames and Passwords.
In Safari, go to a site you login using a username/password. You will be prompted to save that data so a "keychain" can be created for you.

Safari Won't Remember Usernames & Passwords

The subject of this topic is not totally accurate. Safari will remember my usernames and passwords, but only 1 for every domain. I have 2 PayPal logins. In previous versions of Safari (I'm using Leopard), I could have both saved passwords (like I do in FireFox). Now, Safari only remembers the last one I save. The keychain also seems to only remember the last one I enter.
This is a bit frustrating...
Bryan

It's either Safari and/or Keychain. Right now Safari has saved 3 of my capital one username/passwords. However, Keychain has one entry and it has mixed two accounts. For the keychain name, it has one account, but in the account field, it says another. This is a problem, but why it's happening is beyond me.
Even with Keychain screwed up, Safari is giving me the option of choosing one of 3 of my usernames/password combos, and I was able to login. I reset safari, except username/paswords, and Safari still has them saved.
I just deleted the one keychain item which had two accounts listed, and when I did that, I went back into Safari and it deleted that item. However, the other two are still in Safari and *are not* in Keychain, so I don't know where those are being saved.
I just added the one that was removed, and Safari added it, and keychain has only 1, yet 3 are still listed in Safari and I can use them.
wow... if you can follow that.... back to testing....

I use master password & if I change passwords on a site, it doesn't ask to "change" Also doesn't ask to "remember" with new usernames/passwords. Does anyone know how to fix this or add usernames & passwords to saved password page on Firefox.

Firefox (I think version 5, maybe 4) does not ask to "remember" passwords anymore nor does it ask to "change" a password when I've done that. It didn't ask when I changed my Facebook password & I have to log in each time so I removed my username & password for FB on Firefox's "saved password" page. When I've don't that before, it asks to "remember" but doesn't anymore. I use a master password.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
To see all History and Cookie settings, choose:
*Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
*Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

SAFARI 6 WEBSITE SAVED PASSWORD NOT WORKING

after upgrading to Safari 6 a saved bookmarked website user name and password no longer works.
seems to be just for that site. went to preferences>passwords selected site but it won't 'remove'.
tried deleting and re-establishing the bookmarked site but no drop down to remember the user name and pw
appears. i see that others are having this problem. again, it seems that most of the sites are
acting as they did before the upgrade. i am using the last version of Lion before Mountain Lion
(which i can't install on my computer).

Thank you for your reply
i need this because some websites opens with both options 'with and without www'
i have saved password for example.com but next time i open www.example.com coming from google or referral. i forget that i have account for example.com.
i have to check in password manager for accounts every time.
so thats why i want to save password for both www and without www.
sorry for my bad english

Safari will not Auto load username password

This is very strange,
All my websites will load my username and Passwords except for my website with Scottrade.com
I double checked to ensure that my username password is in profile and it certainly is.
What can I do to fix my username and password auto load for my trading account, please
robert

I cleared my Cache and did a Safari Reset.
And I still have the same problem.

Saving username/passwords

I have multiple google accounts. I have been able to save a username/password combo (automatic prompt) for two of them, but have not been able to get Firefox to prompt me to save username/password for additional accounts. I've checked everything I could think of -- site exceptions in the "options" menu, clearing the saved passwords list and starting over, reinstalling the browser -- but can't seem to fix the problem. Any idea why it would save username/password for some accounts but not others? Thx

Getting ORA-01017: invalid username/password error only with specific tools

Hi,
I am a Junior DBA still getting familiar with Oracle. I am having trouble accessing one of my databases through both TOAD and SQLDetective tools. When I try to log in to my database using these tools, I get the error:
ORA - 01017: invalid username/password; login denied
Even though the password and username is correct.
I can successfully login through other tools like SQLTools and through SQL Plus. I have searched this issue and I have seen people with the same problems but I couldnt find a solution. The weird thing is, I can use TOAD and SQLDetective to login to other databases without any issues. It seems to be this one specific database.
My database is an 11g database on a linux box. I have 9i and 10g clients installed on my machine. The all my apps use the tnsnames from the 9i home on my machine.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Rgs,
Rob
Edited by: rgilligan on 16-Apr-2010 02:11

Hello, if it is 11g, look at the parameter sec_case_sensitive_logon. This parameter defaults to true, which makes the password case sensitive. Some tools/apps do a UPPER or LOWER on the password and so this may the reason for the error
