Safari losing name & passwords after 10.5.6

After the update my computer when started or restarted loses all the names and passwords for auto log in sites like bulletin boards and others like ebay it just loses my name. Is there a place that cookies are messed up or not being recorded or loaded after start up?
Thanks.

This seems to be a bug in Safari, there are other threads about it. Apple is going to have to fix it. If you don't mind using Firefox, that browser doesn't have the problem.

Can Safari save name/password for secure sites?

I use several webmail links several times per day where I have to enter account name and passswords. These are long strings with lots of numbers and symbols. Lots of opportunity for typos.
Is there some way for Safari to save name/password for frequently visited sites?

There is an App called 1Password (paid) that does save passwords, etc. and will automatically enter them in its OWN browser but not Safari. Sorry to say, I have only read about it and not tried it - didn't like the idea that it was a separate browser. But unfortunately, how the OS works, Apple will not allow 3rd party apps to run in the Background, thus allowing the integration with Safari.
Hopefully Apple will address this in future versions. Something like the Keychain App in the Mac OS, that holds all you passwords, but I think they won't because it means that if you lose your phone and someone finds it, then they will have access to whatever you have password protected.

Doesn't accept User name + Password after archive and install

I did an archive and install, when finished the install the computer restarted and came up with the login Name + Password screen. I type in every account Name + Password I know and the login window just shakes telling me its wrong. I don't know what to do from this point, I was thinking about reseting the admin password but I'm not sure thats the problem because we have two admin accounts and I know both passwords.
I archive and installed 10.4.0 over 10.4.7. And currently on my backup install of tiger.

I did an archive and install because I had no video, and sometimes could not turn on the IBook. I have had two logic boards that went bad and were fixed free by Apple. When I finished the install the computer restarted and came up with the login Name + Password screen. When I type in Name + Password the login window just shakes telling me its wrong, which it is not.
It is possible that the administrator or other user on the computer were erased at some point when I thought to get rid of unnecessary stuff (mistake!)
I archive and installed 10.2.0 over 10.3.7, because I thought the instructions were to use the original install disk.
I have a backup of the info on this computer on a MacBook Pro that I use all the time, this IBook I only use for email, etc.

IOS 7 - iPad losing proxy password after reboot?

Hi,
After the release of iOS 7, when an iPad is rebooted or runs out of charge etc... The iPad will lose the proxy password?
It seems to remember the username and proxy address/port.
Apple can you fix this ASAP...
Hundreds of iPad's are in use with Education now requiring a Proxy server/Password etc... and it losing it's settings everytime is NOT acceptable.

For what it is worth, I have seen the exact same thing. This is clearly a severe Apple bug.
have filed an Apple Bug Report, and you should do the same to make sure they fix this: http://bugreport.apple.com

Prompting for User name/Password after I close the document

Hi guys,
I have implemented FSDB repository. When I open a KM document and close it, I am prompted with the authentication window to enter username/password. When I enter correct username/password, it doesn't accept it. However when I close this authentication prompt, I have no issues continuing my portal session.
Please help guys.
Note: I am on EP6.0, SP15.
Regards,
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
I am using SPS15 and had similar issues with MS documents. We were receiving authentication prompts. We omitted the MS Docs from the HTTP compression and then applied this RegFix. For us it seemed like it was an update coming back to the folder where the documents are stored upon opening (for PPT's) and on open and close for DOCS. From what I read in the MS note with the regfix - it seems like updates to the MS folder stucture for the purposes of Sharpoint collaboration stuff.
Anyway,

Safari 2.0.3 in OS 10.4.5 only remembers site user name/password 25%

In previous OS Safari behaved itself, but in this version the "do you want Safari to remember your user name/password" only works about 25% of the time.
Ideas/explanations? BTW I have never used the keychain.
I have just about given up and reverted to having the different names and passwords in Stickies and enter them manually-- what a PITA!

Safari user name and password for secure sites

I just sent the following to "Mac OS X Feedback"
Some secure sites like brokers, e.g., Ameritrade, do no allow autofill in Safari for the user name and password. In fact Safari does not even ask if you want to remember the user name and password just entered for such sites.
I would like to suggest that something be done for users in such cases:
1) A dialog box comes up warning that this website does not allow autofill.
2) A suggestion is made as to what network setting needs to be changed to allow autofill to work
3) A fix in Safari to take care of this problem
4) Add something to Safari help
Does anyone have a work around for this problem?

Think about what would happen if someone gained access to your Mac, say while you were briefly away from your desk or whatever. They launch Safari, go to the login web page of (for instance) your bank & discover that autofill has helpfully filled in your user name & password so all they have to do to get access to your accounts is click the login button.
From there, they can transfer all your assets to some other account (theirs!) or invest in FlyByNight.com or whatever -- they can do anything your password lets you do with any password-protected account ... anything!
Take this a step further. Say you have enabled auto-login to your primary account at startup, or have used an easy-to-guess account password for it. Someone steals your computer ... & with it potential access to all your online accounts with autofill entries.
Not a pretty picture, is it?

Is there a way that safari can remember passwords? I'm pretty uncool so I will need real simple instructions, please

I can't seem to get safari to remember passwords. I'm not too cool so I need some pretty basic help. Thanks

From your Safari menu bar (top of your screen) click Safari then from the drop down menu click Preferences.
Select the Autofill tab.
Make sure User names and passwords is selected.
If you are having problems with specific sites where Safari won't "remember" a password, open the Keychain Access app.
That's located in /Applications/Utilities
Select Passwords on the left. Type in the name of the website where Safari isn't storing the password then right or control click that keychain then click Delete.
Go back to Safari, go to the website, login with your user name and password. You should be prompted to save that data to a new keychain. Click Yes.
Also, your profile indicates you are running v10.5.7. If that is correct, you need to update your system software including Safari.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click: Software Update...
Restart your Mac after the updates are installed.

Stop Safari from resetting preferences after quitting

After installing Macafee, Safari will keep settings after quitting. I have uninstalled Macafee by using their uninstaller and the problem persists. The default apple homepage opening on Safari startup and is getting very old. Any ideas on how to stop this from happening?

Try deleting the password for that site...
Quit Safari. Now open Keychain Access. (Applications/Utilities). Select Passwords on the left.
Delete the keychain for that site.
Relaunch Safari. Navigate to the site. Enter your user name and password as usual. When prompted to save that data, click Never.

I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password

I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password" This started after they did the change to Icloud and extended our subcriptions.
Tricia

I guess that the server name is incorrect, then.
Did it ever work?
Delete the account, reboot the phone, then add it back and be sure you choose Yahoo as the mail server type. Everthing should then fill in automatically except your user name and password.
