Safari not autofilling names and passwords.

Just updated Safari on my ipad 2, and now it no longer auto fills user names and passwords. Auto fill is selected, ipad has been rebooted, and reset but it will not work. Forums state that this is a known Safari bug. What is being done.

What website did you have problems with?
Have you reported this to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html ?
I haven't seen this problem but it may only occur on certain web sites.

After updating to iOS8 my iPhone and iPads no longer autofill name and passwords

After updating to iOS8 my iPhone and iPads no longer autofill name and passwords
It worked fine in iOS7, it still works fine on an older iPhone 4 running 7 and an iPad Air also running 7. Also my Macs, an old MacPro 10.7.5 and a MacBook Air 10.9.5 work great, autofilling every time.
This is what Safari settings look like:
All the password info is still there under Saved Passwords.
I have tried turning Names and passwords off and on but no luck
What should I do?

I can get autofill to work but it will only remember my last username and password used for the site rather then letting me start typing a username and then suggesting one and its password being automatically filled in if I hit space while the suggested username was showing or when i finished typing the username (how it worked in iOS 7). I'm having zero issues using iCloud keychain on my MacBook pro running Yosemite so I'm not sure if apple accidentally removed this functionality or if there is something I can do to get it back? I have keychain turned on as well as autofill passwords and when I go into the settings I can see all the accounts and passwords for this particular site so I know they're saved..very odd behavior. If no fix I'll just start adding them all to one password but this seems cumbersome considering safari has this feature built in.

Safari- Remove Saved Names and Passwords

Hello,
I am trying to remove saved e-mails under the login for facebook. It used to work when going to Safari, Reset Safari, and then Remove Saved Names and Passwords. Now when I do this the e-mail addresses are still saved and I do not know what to do. Please help if you have an idea of what to do or know what to do!

Now it's seems that you're using the AutoFill function. So, if it isn't clearing the passwords for you for Facebook, open Keychain Access > Passwords and scroll through the list until you find the one(s) you're looking for and delete them.
Then quit Keychain Access and restart Safari and that should fix your problem.

Safari not remembering username and password

Hello, I have my settings set so that Safari remembers my username and passwords to make logins faster. One site I use for school has had my username and password saved since I first started using it. But all of a sudden, it's not remembering my information anymore. When I go onto the site, it doesn't automatically fill in everything like it used to. And the only way I know how to add usernames and passwords to Safaris list is when it prompts you to when on a new site. How can I "re save" my username and pasword? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

You might be able to fix it by deleting the saved password from your keychain in the Keychain Access application. Search for it by the domain name of the site.

IPad 2 Does not retain names and passwords after iOS-upgrade to 8.0.2

After the last series of iOS upgrades (device current status is 8.0.2 , latest available) the iPad2-16G WIFI version, does not retain any names and passwords anymore. Function (Safari) is enabled.
Re-booting, clearing memory etc did not solve anything).
Is this a known version 8.0 bug or .......?

Make sure "Private Browsing" is disabled.

After power on will not accept name and password

Having trouble with MacBook Mac OS X 10.6.8
At start up will not accept name and or password. Gives IP address info then network accounts unavailable.

Hi Beebop1991,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your Administrator User account and password.
It sounds like your computer is booting up to a network drive instead of your Macintosh HD.
If this is the case, follow these steps:
Startup Manager: How to select a startup volume
Follow these steps:
Turn on, or restart, your Mac.
Immediately press and hold the Option key. After a few seconds, the Startup Manager should appear. The Startup Manager scans for available available volumes.
Use the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard to select the volume you would like to use.
Press the Return key on your keyboard to start up the computer from the volume you selected.
If this does not resolve your issue, and you need to change your Administrator password, follow the steps below for Snow Leopard:
OS X: Changing or resetting an account password
In Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier, follow these steps to reset a password when there is only one administrator account on the computer, or if the original administrator account needs a password reset. "Original" administrator account refers to the one that was created immediately after installing Mac OS X. If the original administrator password is known, that administrator account may be used to reset the passwords of other administrator accounts using the steps described above. These steps require an optical drive; if your Mac does not have an optical drive and you have a Mac OS X v10.6 Install disc, see below.
Start up from a Mac OS X Install disc (one whose version is closest to the version of Mac OS X installed). Usually, you can start from the disc by putting it in your computer, restarting, and holding the C key. Or, put it in the computer and click the Install or Restore icon you see in the disc's main window (after which the computer will start from the disc without you needing to hold C). Or, you can use Startup Manager or the Startup Disk preference pane to select the Install disc.
Choose a language, click the arrow button to continue,
Mac OS X v10.6 or later: Choose Password Reset from the Utilities menu.
Mac OS X v10.5 or v10.4: Choose Reset Password from the Utilities menu.
Mac OS X v10.3: Choose Reset Password from the Installer menu.
Tip: If you don't see this menu or menu choice, you're probably not started from the disc yet.
Note: The default keyboard layout is U.S. English while started from the installation disc. If you use a keyboard layout other than U.S English, use the Input menu (the flag icon on the right side of the menu bar) to select the desired layout before typing a new password.
Select your Mac OS X hard disk volume.
Select the user name of your original administrator account.
Important: Do not select "System Administrator (root)". This is actually the root user. You should not confuse it with a normal administrator account.
Enter a new password.
Click Save.
Click the red button in the upper left corner to quit the application.
Choose Quit Mac OS X Installer... from the Mac OS X Installer menu.
Click Restart.
After following these steps, you'll want to also follow the steps in this article.
Mac OS X v10.6: Resetting the original administrator account password on a Mac that has no optical drive
These steps require a second computer that has an optical drive.Note: If the second computer is a Mac, make sure Mac OS X v10.5.3 or later is installed. If the second computer is a PC, make sure the DVD or CD Sharing Update 1.0 for Windows is installed.
Open "Remote Install Mac OS X" from the Utilities folder.
Follow the onscreen instructions.
For more information, see Sharing DVDs or CDs with Remote Disc.
Additional Information
You can press the Eject key on the keyboard to eject DVD media. Inserting a startup DVD will add that DVD to the list of startup volumes (as in the image above). You can also attach FireWire or USB external hard drives to add to the list of startup volumes.
This startup volume selection is temporary. To set the default startup volume for your Mac after your computer is running, open System Preferences and choose Startup Disk from the View menu (in Mac OS X) or open the Boot Camp control panel (in Windows).
I hope you are back on track soon!

I am still getting redirected to various web sites when using Safari. My PC is not affected but my I phone and I pad are. I have reset my router and changed my admin name and password. I am still being redirected.

Chances are you mis-typed a character in the Wifi password and the devices saved that information. Now whenever you try to connect the device refers to the wrong password and the Jetpack does not accept your connection. Tell your devices to forget the wireless connection and start over.
Once you enter the proper WiFi credentials the Jetpack will allow you to connect.

User name and passwords autofill

user name and passwords autofill only autofills the user name and not the password. Any ideas on how to change this so that passwords are also autofilled?

Hi Geoffrey
Some web sites (particularly banks, credit card companies) specifically code their sites to prevent the password from automatically appearing. This is due to security concerns.
Notwithstanding the above, It's possible there's oddities in the Keychain file. This file retains your User Name/Password information. In your Finder: Applications>Utilities folder. Open Keychain Access. Go to the Keychain Menu>Keychain First Aid>Repair. If any errors appear rerun until you get a clean pass.
If the lack of auto-fill continues, there is a workaround for the web coding via 3rd party Safari add-on (shareware) SAFT. In SAFT's Misc. preference file settings (part of the Safari Preferences) is "Auto-complete always on".
Note: some of the more elaborate security sign-ons, such as those that use multiple pages for the sign-in are not overridden by the SAFT feature.

After updating to iOS 8 my iPad 2 does not keep my user name and password for isp start page

After updating to iOS 8 my i pad 2 does not store the user name and password for my earthlink start page. In past could go to bookmark and the start
page would automatically come up. Now I must enter the user name and password every time to access the personalized start page. tried to find some settings that needed changing but no luck. is this a problem with iOS 8 Earthlink referred me to apple they could not help any help here

Hello nkrlw,
It may be that AutoFill is disabled in Safari, or that Private Browsing is on.
Go to Settings > Safari > Passwords & AutoFill and make sure that Names and Passwords is on.
Go to your Home screen and open Safari. If Safari is black or dark instead of white or gray, Private Browsing is on. Safari doesn't save account names and passwords when Private Browsing is on. To turn off Private Browsing:
On iPad, tap the the plus icon in the upper-right corner of the Safari page, then tap Private in the lower-left corner.
On iPhone and iPod touch, tap in the lower-right corner of the Safari page, then tap Private in the lower-left corner.

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?
Mac Mini (Intel Core Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.5)
Mac Mini (Intel Core Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.5)

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?

Leopard Safari requires reloading user name and password

Tried asking this another way and no one answered, which left me to wonder if no one on this forum knows the answer or it I wasn't clear in asking it? Let me be more specific: Leopard Safari requires a user name and password to be entered each time an appropriate web site is opened, even when "refresh" is clicked. For example, I use "myyahoo" for the homepage, but now each time I open Safari, I am required to reenter the user name and password. Ditto every site I have saved autofill data for. This did not happen with Tiger, prior to upgrading to Leopard last Friday. I also tried phoning the Apple Care support number -- a 37 minute wait produced someone who said my call needed to be forwarded to the Safari desk, and likely involve another extensive wait. So I gave up that idea and am trying here again. Help!

Thank you! In Preferences, all the autofill boxes are checked. Just to be sure, I unchecked them all then rechecked them. Autofill form works in Edit. Before the upgrade, Safari was able to maintain user names and passwords on sites where I wanted them. After the upgrade Friday evening, Safari stopped doing this on all sites where I already had a user name and password, including the Mac site. Simply, I am now required to re-enter this information every visit to every site, even if I just click refresh, not only when I exit Safari and return. Even if I leave a site where I have entered the password, visit another site, and then return, the user name and password must be entered again. I have still had no luck getting Apple Care on the phone. This morning I bit the bullet and decided to wait until finally somebody answered, but no amount of patience can listen to scratchy wait music for more than 45 minutes, which is when I gave up. So if someone here doesn't understand this, guess I'm stuck having to enter this information again and again and again... or figure out how to get back to Tiger.

Safari 3.2.1 User Names and Password Retention

Despite having checked the box in autofill to save user names and passwords, Safari no longer asks me whether I want to save them in the keychain. Also, I wonder if there is a different kind of glitch, as my screen for that window (under edit) does not show anything except remove and *remove all* and done. It has nothing for me to add user names and passwords if I wanted to do so manually. How can I convince Safari to memorize these user names and passwords? I've saved them for months, but all of a sudden they seem to have decided to take a long vacation.

Do you suggest the one about Safari Forms Autofill or some other one?
Leave the Safari Forms alone. Instead, delete any specific keychain entry relative to a web site with which you are having a problem. To facilitate the search, use the Spotlight Panel within the Keychain Access app. by typing in part or all of the related site name. When the entry appears, simply click on it, then press the delete key.
Regarding your comment about Safari's Auto-Fill, not sure what would automatically deselect this function within Safari. Might be a corrupt Safari preference file. To create a new file, go to the Finder: Your User Account>Library>Preferences folder. There, move the com.apple.safari.plist file to the trash, then restart Safari. You'll need to reestablish any custom settings in System Preferences, plus in Safari's View Menu.
