Safari Not Remembering Authentication

Safari on my mac, can remember htaccess authentication, which is nice. On the iPhone I have to input username/password for authenticated sites every time Safari is closed & opened. Is there a setting somewhere to make iPhone Safari remember htaccess authenticated logins, as it does on the desktop?

If you have OS 3.0+, go to Settings -> Safari -> Autofill -> ON -> Names and Passwords -> ON.

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.

Safari not 'remembering' webpages login/passwords

I am running Safari 4.0.4. On certain websites(Facebook & My Space among some) it will not remember the login info or show a box to remember it.
How do I get that to happen ?

I'm having the same or similar problem.
I have no idea what's causing it. It seems to have started after backing up my computer, for the first time, on a new external HD using the HD's included auto-back-up software (a 1tb My Book with "SmartWare" software, from Western Digital). There were other bugs which cropped up at the same time. SmartWare kept thinking it was being run for the first time, and Google Notifier kept forgetting my login information.
The problem with Google Notifier seems to have fixed itself, and I uninstalled SmartWare. The only problem left is with Safari.

Safari not remembering passwords.

I recently reinstalled Safari. Now that I have reinstalled it, it is not remembering my passwords. I have had to enter my password every time I login to, for example, MySpace. Before, it would have my password already entered and all I would have to do would be to press login.
I have gone to Preferences > Autofill and made sure that it was supposed to be remembering passwords.
Help!

Go to Edit then click Preferences than go to AutoFill and then make sure you check were it says User names & Passwords.

Why does Safari not 'remember me' on websites I visit?

I recently upgraded to OSX Snow Leopard from Leopard. Even with 'private browsing' on, Safari always remembered sites I asked to be remembered on. Now with Snow Leopard, if more than a few hours go by, the sites I visit (newspapers mostly) always ask me to log in again. Why is this happening? (It doesn't happen on my iPad, just on my desktop). Is there anything I can do about it, with or without private browsing on?

Many sites have an automatic logout after a certain amount of time. Ask the sites in question if that is the case for them. If you clear your web browser's cookies, many sites keep login information in a cookie so that can also cause you to be asked for your credentials again.
Regards.

Safari not remembering home page

Safari 5.1.x not able to remember preference for home page.
Safari 5.1, Lion 10.7.1
Might there be a fix for this?
Thanks

Could be the preferences are corrupted ..
Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash.
~ (Tilde) character represents your Home folder.
For LIon: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

Safari not remembering multiple passwords for one site

My ffriends and I use safari on my iPhone and thus have multiple login information for one site like facebook. A few months agowe were able to go to a site, start typing in the user name and password, and Safari would show us a highlighted list of the login info that had been saved. You could then click on that info and get logged in. But that feature stopped some time ago and I can't figure it out. Now Safari only remembers the last login info. It still works the way it used to on my iMac and MacBook Pro but not the iPhone. Does anyone know how to fix it?

when the keyboard is open hold on the happy face for a second and from the menu list that pops up turn off the switch for PREDICTIVE. That did it for me. When I start typing the firts letter of the login name now it predicts in yellow and I press space and fills it in, then I have to press the delete button to remove the space before pressing enter.

Ipad4 iOS 8 Safari not remembering passwords. Chrome is ok.

HI
after the the upgrade to iOS 8 my iPad 4 Safari no longer remembers passwords and settings for webpages.
I have checked the settings for cookies and they are ok. Also Chrome works fine.
I reinstalled the iOS but no change.
I Checked for which cookies is saved in the controlpanel settings for Safari, at there appears to be lots of them, so apparently it just doesn't look at them afterwards.
any ideas?

Hi,
Too late to reply you :-(.
Yes, install the Chrome browser and access the PDF link. Our users are not happy with the Chrome idea because they were used to Safari all along. To be frank Chrome browser is performing well these days. We are evaluating and trying to implement HTML5 based solution from Mozilla PDF.js. It is a waste of time and resource due to this small silly, frustrating issue.
No idea when does this get resolved because there are no other solid solution that runs PDF within the browser. More over, IOS Safari does not allows to configure or install other PDF reader plugins to run as part of the browser otherwise alternatives like Adobe reader could be used.

Safari not remembering Web Site data

I have an Iphone 5 on IOS 7.1.1, but Safari never retains website data, for example every time I visit the BBC.co.uk website it asks me to accept cookies, and the regional settings that are autodetected for the weather etc revert to defaults.
I have checked settings and:
'Block Cookies' is set to never
Do Not Track is off
I have cleared the cookies, reset the phone etc but this has made no difference. It's done this since I got the phone over a year ago.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you to everyone who has reported what you are seeing on my website. Now I need some help to troubleshoot the problem. So far I am confused as to where the problem lays let alone what the problem might be.
I need guidance as I am running out of ideas for troubleshooting. Are there any files that I should try trashing?
Could the problem lie in my Flash player perhaps (how do I test this?
Updates:
I can see only a gray color behind my flash title on http://www.paintmaking.com in Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6) and Internet Explorer 5.2.3 (5815.1). What should be there is a colored header image.
I have established that other people can see the image correctly, including on the same builds of Safari and IE and on the same OS (10.3.9). An exception is someone using Shiira who can only see gray in Shiira, but sees colors in other browsers including Safari.
On my computer Netscape 7.2, Firefox, Mozilla, Opera and Camino can all see the image correctly.
Safari and IE have the same problem displaying the image on all the accounts on my eMac.
I have: cleared cache with no improvement, checked Safari Preferences (Java enabled, JavaScript enabled, and 'display images as pages open' is checked.
I have removed the software that I installed recently. (MacTracker)
I have removed a piece of JavaScript added recently (from Google to facilitate their Analytics programme)
The only major thing I have done lately that is out of the ordinary is to Clone my OS X hard drive to an external drive using SuperDuper.
I don't seem to be having problems with other websites.
So how can this be? If the problem is in my computer why only the one site affected? (I checked several sites) Yet if the problem is with the site then why can other people see the site correctly?

Suddenly Safari not remembering passwords

Suddenly, it seems have to enter passwords for lots of sites which did not have to before? any idea why this is?

Hi Kevin,
From other unrelated posts (eg problems with spell checker), and now this, there seems to be a deterioration in OS X functionality and stability in your computer system. Sometimes, these things start to cascade, affecting other unrelated aspects of the OS.
From previous posts, I know you have been reluctant to reinstall the OS (I very much understand that feeling of "reluctance" having gone through it myself), however, this situation may be another indicator of having to go down that road.

Safari not remembering previous searches

For some reason Safari has suddenly stopped prompting when I enter a search term. for instance, if I had gone to a web site 2 days ago, and I start to enter the same name in search mode, it should come up with a menu of possibilites. But it doesn't do it anymore. Using 10.3.9, Safari 1.3.2.
Any ideas?

Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu. An Info dialog should open.
Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?

My MacBook Pro Retina's Bluetooth chipset unknown/odd login message on the login screen states Login Window Authentication Login window Name edit text has keyboard focus. In addition, the login screen is not remembering me

I have been experiencing several issues with my MacBook Pro Retina mid 2012. My MBPR is scheduled to go into the depot. However, I am wondering if anyone may be able to shed light on a few issues as this is the third "official" time my MBPR is going back for service ("one depot" trip; "one authorized" dealer; several in-store visits).
My Bluetooth is stating that the Bluetooth Chipset is Unknown (0). I also have had Bluetooth Preferences mysteriously change on me. In addition, while Bluetooth is off there are two serial modems turning on. I have turned them off, but they continue to pop up.
In addition, when I log in, my MBPR is not remembering me and my login name is not appearing on the slate-gray screen. The name and password are blank and the following message appears in the lower left hand corner. "login window authentication login window Name edit text has keyboard focus." As a side note, I am the only user. The login issue is a recent occurrence as we just totally wiped it again via a Command + R, and I don't believe I have an accessibility setting set to anything that would cause this, but wanted to check.
Should I be concerned here? Has anyone else had issues like this? I don't want to worry if I don't have to. I have had so many issues over the course of nine months. 5-6 wipes. Airport card replaced and I am about to pull my hair out if my MBPR doesn't come back worldly like clock work this time. I just can't send my days trying to get a $2300 product to work for me any longer. No idea what is wrong with it, but it is driving me insane. Cross your fingers for me and any guidance you have or thoughts would be welcomed. Thank you. EMM

My guest files are locked, but again I am the administrator of MBPR.
I am worried about a keystroke logged or at least, trying to rule it out.
Also:

Com.apple.Powermanagement.control, etc. long attachment with those files with version: ??? (???).

WARNINGS in Console include:
[NSImage compositeToPoint:fromRect:operation:fraction:] is deprecated in MacOSX 19.8 and later. Please use -[NSImage drawAtPoint:fromRect:operation:fraction] instead.
There are a ton of other warnings. Before I go through this again, can someone tell me if this is normal (all of it -- above too); or if these are symptoms is a keystroke logger or hardware issues?
I ask because originally, when my computer went in for diagnostics (more than once), Apple stated the hardware was fine (other than Airport Card -- finally). However, if I've done 5-6 total wipes; created new users; do not have sharing set-up; have not played around in Terminal; and am up-to-date with versions -- and various issues KEEP COMING BACK -- I am left wondering if a keystroke logger would be possible here?!? I thought maybe a faulty logic board, but why would diagnostics be okay, then? Not trying to be hyperbole, just desperate.
Please help me rule keystroke logger out or at least, tell me so I know, so I can take appropriate action. If you think it could be the logic board with symptoms above, that would be a great too.
All I want to do is use the computer as intended, but I can't seem to get a real answer, so after nine months -- I am turning to the communities to see if anyone -- anyone at all -- can help. The last thing I can do is have the MBPR come back from the depot and the same thing occur. Any guidance or advice would be so gratefully appreciated.
