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.

    Safari won't recognize my yahoo mail login certificate. says it's bogus.

    Maybe you could provide just a few more details for us.  So what I would wonder is, has it done this before or is it a new Mac and your first time trying?  If it's not your first time are you using a bookmarked link?  Do you show an update for Safari in your Software Updates?  If not have you by any chance tried clearing your cache?  If that still maybe try going to Safari > Reset Safari?
    Hope this is helpful.  If none of this works let us know what you've tried and any other information you can think of!

    I use 10.3.9 and I have no idea why yahoo mail stopped working today. I have firefox installed on my machine. BTW - firefox is able to serf the web without issues on all of my sites. I often wonder why apple wanted to build a browser, why not just use firefox and contribute to it's development for the mac environment?

  • I cannot open yahoo mail login page over wireless using FF 35.0

    Ever since FF updated to 35.0 I can not open yahoo mail log in,
    using wireless. It seems to work only if plugged in. If I open it in IE 11 I seem to have no issues though regardless of how I connect. I have tried several of the suggestions safe mode, resetting, firewall, etc but no luck.

    Okay, Using wired you have access, using wireless, none.
    I take it both are going thru the same modem?

  • Safari History not saving recent searches

    My Safari is not saving recent history. A few days ago my trackpad wasn't opening programs and now it seems to be fine. Now my preferences change every time I restart. Similarly, every time I reopen Safari, the newest history that shows is a few days old. For a few days now it's shown Friday the 17th (it's Monday now). I cleared the history and when I restart the application the history shows up like as if I never cleared it.
    Any help would be great, thanks.

    Repair Disk actions from the Install DVD
    Did Disk Utility report that the disk, "appears to be ok" ?? The instructions at that link were to check the startup disk for problems, not repair permissions.
    I didn't know how else to get to the user accounts
    Open System Preferences / Accounts. You can access non admin accounts there.
    If you haven't set one up, follow the instructions here.
    Creating a new user account: 10.5
    The reason we ask that users try another user account is to "test" Safari there. If you have the same "history" problems there with Safari, that's why you need to check the startup disk.

  • HT201609 keychain not saving passwords

    Two days ago I called apple about an issue with my Iphone 5s. I was instructed to rest my network settings which I did. Now everytime I boot up or restart my machine I am asked to enter the passcode for the router. Additionally keychain isn't saving this password or any of my mail passwords nor my Apple ID password. I tried changing them but keychain still isn't saving the passwords. I've spent over 3 hours on the phone with Apple Tech support to no avail. The senior advisor I spoke to said he's never seen this problem before? So does that mean my problem isn't real or doesn't exist? There MUST be a solution. Please help. Now my Iphone and Macbook aren't working correctly.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ First Aid
    There are four checkboxes in the window that opens. Check all of them. if they're not already checked. Close the window.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.
    If you use iCloud Keychain, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.

  • Safari will not clear my username and passwords it has saved

    I am trying to get Safari to clear saved usernames and passwords from the saved list and it refuses to do so. I've done everything from go into settings and click edit on the usernames and passwords and click remove and even remove all and nothing happens. I've also clicked on file and reset safari and my usernames and passwords still aren't deleted. Whatever happens, I do not want to lose my bookmarks though; those are very important to me.
    Thanks,
    Travis

    HI Travis,
    In Safari Preferences - Autofill
    Make sure: user names and passwords is deselected.
    Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left.
    Delete all the keychains for the sites you don't want user names and passwords saved for.
    Relaunch Safari.

  • How can I prevent Safari/iCloud Keychain from saving data in our password field?

    We have a web-based management system where administrators can set and update passwords for individual users. While I love iCloud keychain personally, the problem we are finding is that if the user, once prompted by Safari to Save the password in iCloud Keychain for Autofill, actually clicks 'Save Password', then our page wants to autofill that same password for any selected user or newly added user (and since we don't allow duplicates, constant errors result).
    So the basic question: is there a way in HTML or Javascript to set form fields - or an entire form or div - to be ignored by iCloud Keychain, even if they are username or password fields.
    We know we could just tell all our Safari users to disable in preferences with a pop-up banner, but that would be unfortunate (and IE-like)
    (If this is the wrong place to find this type of info, any clue appreciated. Naturally we've searched a bunch already)

    Can I remove my iCloud Keychain from Apple's servers?
    Yes. Follow these steps, starting on any one of your iOS devices or Macs that is using iCloud Keychain:
    Devices using iOS 7.0.3 or later:
    Go to Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain and turn off “Approve with Security Code”.
    Go to each of your other devices that is using iCloud Keychain and turn iCloud Keychain off.
    Macs using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later:
    Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account details.
    Deselect “Allow approving using security code”.
    Go to each of your other devices that is using iCloud Keychain and turn iCloud Keychain off.
    After you complete these steps, your keychain data will remain locally on your devices, but changes to your keychain information will not push to your other devices or the cloud unless you turn iCloud Keychain back on. If you want keychain data to push to all of your devices, but not to the cloud, turn on iCloud Keychain on each device as described earlier in this document, but skip the step to create an iCloud Security Code.

  • Yahoo mail rejects password but only on iMac

    Hi,
    I have an Intel iMac and loving it, I bought it last December and Apple mail was just perfect. But recently every day I get an error message saying Yahoo has rejected my password and to re-enter, with an option to save in keychain. The password keeps being rejected but if I go into Yahoo mail on Safari then all seems fine and Apple mail works. I also have an iphone and ipad and these are fine, no password issues at all.
    I know there has been a Yahoo update recently and I thought it could be that but then surely the iphone/ipad would also be affected. Equally there has been Lion updates and it all started around that time.
    I have tried deleting the password in keychain and starting again, no help. I have deleted the email account and stated again, no help.
    I am at my wits end trying to figure out what to do next. Any help or advise would be welcome.

    Well, this time last night I thought BT had fixed the issue by creating the POP account. BUT this morning when I started it all happened again but now on both IMAP and POP !! so double the annoying messages.
    Finally called Apple support as I have Apple Care I thought I should use my investment. Very helpful and patient guy, he said the issue was either software related or user set-up, to identify which we created a new User called TEST, so a virgin system, I then let the system create my email just as I did when I first got the machine last year and had no issue then. He then suggested that I try to use the new TEST user for my emails for a few days. If the issue returned then it is likely to be software, if not then likely to be user set-up/corruption somewhere.
    So, I will let you know how I get on.

  • Yahoo mail rejecting password

    I just changed my password on my Yahoo mail account (not Yahoo Plus), and now cannot login via Mail.app anymore.
    Prior to the password change, everything worked fine: IMAP setup and no issues.
    I've checked and re-checked the password, including deleting all occurances in the Keychain in case there was any old data hanging around. I can log into the account using Yahoo's web interface, using the NEW password which I've literally copied and pasted both there and into Mail.app from the same source.
    In Mail.app, I see
    Pasting the password in doesn't do anything other than close the dialog and have it pop right back up again. Checking the "Remember this password in my keychain" also has no effect.
    I've deleted the account in Mail several times, and generated the new account using the automatic settings in System Prefs->Mail, Contacts, and Calendars for a new Yahoo account.
    incoming mail server is: imap.mail.yahoo.com
    server name is: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    MacBook Pro, 10.7.2, Mail 5.1
    I've found other similar threads, but nothing helpful. Anyone know what I'm missing or what I might be able to try?

    Just to close the loop on this: I was able to get it to work.
    I created a brand new Yahoo account, and was able to do the setup in Mac Mail with no problem.
    Since the only change had been my password, I investigated a bit and found that the length of the password was causing the problems.
    I shortened the password to under 20 characters, and everthing started working again.
    So, apparently, Mac Mail truncates strings in the interaction with Yahoo. The web interface worked fine, and the iPod Touch did too, just the Mac had the problems.

  • Can I set up a mail login password

    Is there a way for me to set up a password for my apple mail so that other people that might use my computer (or in case it is stolen) do not have access to my email. I would like a way to keep it more secure without having to take the time to login/out of my computer account each time I use my laptop. Please let me know if there is a way to do this!
    Erika

    Set up the Security System Prefs to require a password after waking from sleep.
    However, without actually encrypting your data, if your laptop is stolen, there is no way to keep someone from accessing your data.
    If you just want to keep them from using your account, follow Barry's advice. On a similar note, you can change the password to your login keychain and set it to auto lock after a set amount of time. That way, none of your passwords are accessible without the keychain password.

  • Safari 5 crashes with Yahoo Mail attachments

    I just updated to Safari 5 and it crashes when I try to send a Yahoo email with attachment. My two other email accounts accept attachments with Safari but when I try to attach them in Yahoo, Safari freezes. Force Quit does not show that Safari is not responding but that's the only way I can close it. The type of file attached makes no difference -- text document, video or photo. Yahoo attachments work normally with Chrome. The other changes I made when updating Safari were those recommended in the June 5 Adobe security bulletin for Reader, Acrobat and Flash Player: I deleted the authplay.dll file in Reader/Acrobat and installed the 10.1 Release Candidate for Flash Player. (Also installed the 1.0 firmware update for the 27 inch display which should be irrelevant.) Yahoo Help only gives the duuuuh answer "Change browsers." Any suggestions?

    Having same problem, so sent an email to Yahoo Mail Premium Customer Care. Here is their response (we should all be sending our troubles to Apple, as well as to Yahoo, since this is obviously a problem with SAFARI -- and, so far, Yahoo! does not seem to know this fact):

  • Safari Crashing/Freezing with Yahoo Mail

    I think this has already been mentioned but hoping Apple will do something about it if we keep bugging them.
    Safari keeps freezing when I try to attach a file using Yahoo Mail. I have to force quit, even though it doesn't say that Safari's unresponsive.
    Combined with the fact that Safari has also become very slow at loading pages, if they load at all, I've reverted to using Firefox. Thanks for the version 5.0 update, really regret installing it.

    HI,
    I think this has already been mentioned but hoping Apple will do something about it
