Safari not saving passwords

When I first use a password to log into a site, Safari asks me if I'd like to save the password, and gives 3 options - yes, never or later (or something like that). I have some sites which I selected the later option, but now it doesn't ask me again. So how do I change my mind and save my password in sites which I didn't choose to save them in the first place, IYKWIM

Use LastPass instead -- it'll give you secure access to (and use of) your passwords on any device.  I use it on my Macs, my Linux boxes, my VMs, and my Android phone.  It's great!

    All of a sudden Safari stopped saving my usernames and passwords. It asks, and I say yes. But it doesn't save anything. HELP!

  • Safari and saved passwords

    hi
    i was wondering if any faced this same problem whereby Safari just doesn't remember the passwords anymore?
    under safari > preferences > autofill > i have everything checked, incl users name and passwords
    however, when i navigate to a website with a username/email and password to be entered, the email/username autofills, but NOT the password.
    (i have been to this site, entered the password, and saved before)
    however, when i type in the same password, safari says, "this password is different ... would you like to save"
    of cos i do instead of "not now" or "never" but it just happenss time and time again
    i have tried to "remove all" usernames and password from preferences > autofill but it didnt help
    please help... its irritating me and firefox now seeems a SMARTER alternative.

    Thanks, but private browsing isn't enabled. At first I thought it was a .mac sync issue, but creating a clean account on the laptop (not really a PowerBook as I said, in the first post, but a new MBP), had essentially the same problem. Saved passwords wouldn't stick. This isn't an issue on my iMac running Leopard 10.5.1.
    I've tinkered a little further, and I can delete the entries from the keychain and copy in a new entry from a clean keychain imported from the iMac (using file copy, instead of .mac sync). That will load and retain the passwords properly, but then I discover new wrinkle to this problem. Safari can no longer keep track of passwords for multiple usernames for the site. My wife and I have different usernames for webmail sites. It won't retain separate passwords for each username.
    No third party extensions/hacks. Again, this was a pristine system. Several people seem to have similar problems, so I'm hoping Apple's working on it.

  • Firefox not saving passwords - Mac Pro

    Hi.
    I recently had to reinstall my bootdrive and software. Since then Firefox will not save my passwords. I am using a Mac Pro OS 10.6.8,
    Firefox is 33.1.1. I thought it was firefox, so I tried Safari and Chrome - same problem. My preferences are set to "Remember passwords for sites". There are no exceptions listed. There are no saved passwords listed either. Under Privacy > History. "Remember history"
    I would appreciate any suggestions.
    Thank you in advance.
    Brian

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Never remember history;Use custom settings for history -> Always use Private Browsing mode).
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
    It is possible that there is a problem with the key3.db file and the logins.json (signons.sqlite) file that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox.
    You can rename the key3.db file (key3.db.old) and logins.json file (logins.json.old) and a possible signons.sqlite file (signons.sqlite.old) or move them to another folder to make it possible to undo the action.
    You need to set a new Master Password after renaming or deleting key3.db and all currently saved passwords are lost.
    If that has worked then you can remove the renamed files that are no longer needed.
    Otherwise you can rename the files to their previous names (key3.db and logins.json).
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

  • The Mail account is not saving password

    Ok so i have done all the things that the Help suggests.
    When I want to save a password of my Mail account into password, I click Save to keychain...but it doesn't.
    I've checked to make sure the settings for the Keychain are not blocking the 'save' etc.
    So when i go to get mail on my different accounts..it constantly asks for the password.
    Wierd thing is that the MobileMe one IS saved...this is a new MBA (Jan)
    Any Suggestions...
    Regards
    G

    Hello
    Glad to see you are using the Help menu, it's great for 'how to' but perhaps this is a troubleshooting issue.
    You say it doesn't save the password in keychain, you can verify this. Open Mail and Keychain Access (found in /Applications/Utilities) have both windows open side by side, take note of the number of items stored in the keychain before you apply my next steps. When mail prompts for a password enter gibberish and you should now see that keychain holds one more item. If this is the case Keychain is working in this respect.
    Next verify your keychains, 6 short steps.
    Then try Mail again with the correct password.
    Interestingly, you said that Mail in other user accounts exhibit the same issue. I suggest creating a new user account and check in a new account then to double check as I can not account for those other accounts already created on your mac.
    If the issue in the new user account persists then you should see if you can login using the same password using webmail (Safari or another browser of your choice). If you can login then the password must be correct. If you don't know the URL for the equivalent email account then call your email provider or provide details and I will see if I can find it, google is my friend, and yours
    If you can login using a browser then consider these follow-up articles to troubleshooting Mail in general as it is not a password issue.
    One question, is this issue isolated to just one email account, do other email accounts work as expected in Mail? If you only have one email account then it's an irrelevant question on my part but I should ask.
    This is a very good article. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
    Use this page to determine if your email settings are correct, http://www.apple.com/support/macosx/mailassistant/ I doubt this is needed as per the symptoms.
    Connection Doctor, built into Mail can reveal a lot, use this as a last resort in this case to report where red lights appear. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/10018.html

  • Powerpivot 2012 on Excel 2010 - External Data connections not saving passwords, having to re-enter password EVERYTIME I refresh data

    Hey Guys,
    Using Excel 2010 with latest version of Powerpivot 2012 available 11.1.3129.0
    For my SQL Server Data connections in Powerpivot I DO NOT have any issue, when clicking refresh it never asks me to enter a password and uses my Windows AD info.
    However, for my plethora of other external data connections (Informix, Oracle, Etc...) that I would like to have fluid use within Powerpivot, big problems.
    Lets start with Oracle. Below is a screenshot of my connection tab within Powerpivot.
    So as you can see, all the details are entered and Allow Saving Password is selected. Now I will close out of Powerpivot and Excel completely and re-open. I will navigate to the Powerpivot tab
    and select Powerpivot Window. And then will select to "Refresh All" and am quickly prompted with the "Data Source Credentials" window to re-enter my data source password, again.
    What I have already tried. The above method for starters in which I use a connection string under Table Import Wizard --> Others (OLEDB/ODBC)... I found it the least annoying route, although
    still have to re-enter password everytime, which is what I hope this forum can help with.
    I also have tried doing a direct Oracle connection in Table Import Wizard but also does not eliminate my #1 problem.
    I have also created an ODC file to try and use that with stored credentials within the file, also still asks for password each and everytime.
    The same thing happens with my other data connections to Informix and DB2. So any help and/or suggestions anyone has would be great. I also cant upload these powerpivots to our powerpivot gallery
    on SharePoint 2010, I have a sneaking suspicion it is due to the version of powerpivot I am currently using.
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    My company is not using Excel 2013, only 2010. So that is what I have to work with. From what I have read this is a huge hole in the Powerpivot 2012 framework and is extremely frustrating. This seems so basic and simple and like something everyone using
    this product would use, and yet it still doesnt work.
    Great feedback. Connect is the right place for this feedback on 2010 as well. Thanks!

  • Mail Not Saving Passwords

    OK...here's my system config: MacBook Pro, 17" (MacBookPro2,1), OS X 10.4.10 (8R2232). So running the latest version of Mail.
    Please note that my Jabber account in iChat is exibiting this exact behavior.
    Basically, every time I start mail, it asks me for the password for each of my mail accounts. This has happened before, so at first, I thought nothing of it. Then, when I realized that it was every single time, I looked in prefs and realized that the password field was blank for each account. So, doing what I thought made sense, I went through each account, added the password, and saved it.
    Then, the next time I launched mail, it did the sam thing: asked me for the password for each account. I looked, and low and behold, the fields were blank again. So, I added the password to one, saved it, then clicked on it again, and yes, again, it was blank. So basically, Mail is not saving the passwords to my accounts. All other information can be changed and it will save properly.
    I went to Keychain Access and did a repair on the Keychain, and it fixed nothing. Is this a Keychain corruption? Do I have to delete my entire Keychain to fix this problem?
    Help!

  • Safari not suggesting passwords

    I have been trying to figure out how to have Safari 7 suggest passwords and it will not suggest 1. It is syncing keychain information via iCloud as I expect but what is the trick to have Safari generate a password?
    Mavericks, Safari 7, iOS 7.

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Passwords tab.
    Make sure:  AutoFill user names and passwords   is selected.

  • Safari not saving my cookies!

    I installed the very very latest iTunes, and this messed up my safari by saving cookies. Google instant search doesnt stay off, youtube doesnt auto-log in. I cant downgrade my iTunes. I have already uninstalled, reinstalled, even deleted and installed Apple Application support manually.
    If you could help, thanks.

    same problem here, and even if safari 5.1 worked properly I couldn't use 5.1 due to the jerky scrolling
    (fully updated XP system)
    Some cookies work for awhile, but eventually they stop working, quitting and re-opening safari stops them all from working. Some cookies show up in the show cookies list and some don't.

  • 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.

  • Firefox 3.6.15 Windows 7 not saving passwords

    When I enter a user name and a password, just as I did a moment ago to create my login for this forum, the information is not being saved by Firefox. The pop-up bar appears with the three buttons, Remember, Never for this Site and Not Now. However, clicking on Remember does nothing and the bar stays on my screen. If I recall, this bar used to go away after saving the password. I am using the latest version of Firefox (3.6.15) . What is new is this computer and the Windows 7 operating system. I am not really interested in a work-around, but instead why Firefox is not working correctly. I have read numerous articles and posts, but most of them are older and I suspect don't take into account the Windows 7 (with SP1 applied) issue.

    I have no passwords stored yet as this is a brand new installation of Firefox, on this brand new computer running Windows 7.
    When I try to save a password, nothing happens! That is the problem.
    When the "Do you want Firefox to remember the password...." dialog box shows me 3 action buttons, none of them respond to clicking on them. Consequently, the passwords are not being saved.

  • Not saving password or username. three days ago it did know I have to enter even thou it ask if I would like it saved

    Left last Weds for vacation, came home Sun and the username and password saving is gone. Have checked tools security password and it is checked to save.
    Need help with restoring this option

    Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
    There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page.<br />
    The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.<br />
    If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you and you need to sign in once again.

    If Firefox doesn't offer to store passwords in the Password Manager then check that you aren't running Firefox in Private Browsing mode.

  • ITunes not saving password

    Since iTunes 9 it doesn't save the password on iPhone or pc. Please advise.

    Since upgrading to OS 3.1 my iPhone 3G is prompting me for my Apple ID password a couple of times per day (pops up message to enter password for iTunes Store)even though is is saved in the Store Settings as the password saved and I've re-entered them a couple of times just incase they got scrambled or something. Seems almost like the iPhone isn't check to see if a password is there.
    I did look at the article provided by Jason L, but it doesn't seem to be relevant in my case as my iTunes seems to be fine and it's just an iPhone password issue.
    Note: I've been reluctant to do a full restore or anything like that, because of all the reports of people have their phones stop receiving calls etc after doing the OS 3.1 update. Thankfully that hasn't happened to me. lol... if anything my issues with losing reception and not being able to get it back seem to have been fixed since the 3.1 upgrade and I'd been having those since pre OS 3.0...
    Anyway any suggestions on how to fix the issue would be greatly appreciated.
