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 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.

How to get Safari to suggest passwords when only one field is present?

Safari works great when there are two fields to enter a password - a password field followed by a "confirm password" field - but doesn't seem to work when there is only one field to enter a new password. Any suggestions?

Hi,
we have done something like this using seltab.
One inputfield, user can enter anything same like in google like
name:ab*,dob:1972
write a conversion method to parse this input to seltab like
    clear ls_seltab.
    ls_seltab-sign = 'I'.
    if lv_value cs '*'.
      li_lng = sy-fdpos.
      ls_seltab-option = 'BT'.
    else.
      ls_seltab-option = 'EQ'.
      ls_seltab-low    = lv_value.
    endif.
use your seltab to retrieve data from the table.
In anyway.. you can search resources in this direction to build your solution.

Safari not opening password websites

I have been trying to open two different websites that are password protected and since I updated to Leopard I cannot open them on my Mac. (One is work based and the other is my electronic subscription to Financial Times) However, I can open them with the same username/password on a Windows PC which is on the same network. After trying, Safari just displays the password screen and says the username or password is wrong...which they aren't. Any help or is my computer just freaking out?

I too have a similar issue. My bank website requires that whenever I log in from a different computer, that I answer a security question, and then if I select the option "this is a personal computer, please register it", then whenever I log in again I should no longer need to answer the security question. When using the new Safari and Leopard, I have to answer that question every tome I log in. Firefox works fine, but I'd rather stick to one browser instead of switching back and forth. Any suggestions?

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.

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 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!

Safari stopped suggesting passwords

iMac late 2012
OS X 10.9.4
Safari Version 7.0.5 (9537.77.4)
Inconsistent, not each time, but I need that function to work--
Any ideas? I looked over the earlier posts about similar problems but nothing was quite the same as my case.
Thanks--

Back up all data. 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. Test.

Safari not saving passwords in keychain

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

Launch Keychain Access in /Applications/Utilities/, select Keychain First Aid, and repair the login.keychain. Details in KA's help files.

Safari suggested password, did not save

I just changed the password for a web service (the setup for a network printer) and safari conveniently suggested a password (some random string of numbers and characters), which I accepted. Unfortunately, safari did not seem to have remembered it and I of course didn't write it down. So now I am locked out (for good, I probably have to reset the device back to factory settings, if that is even possible).
Anyone ever had this problem? Any idea where I could find this password? It is not in my iCloud keychain. I only find the old password there and not the new one that was suggested by safari. This is pretty annoying and in my opinion a pretty serious bug for a password managing system.
I'm using Safari Version 8.0.2 (10600.2.5) on Yosemite 10.10.1 (14B25)

Yes it is. And as I explained, I did this with 2 forums, one worked as expected and the other did not.
I also have "allow autofill even for websites that don't want passwords to be saved" checked, so there is no reason for this password not to be saved.
If something about the website is preventing the Safari functionality from working, it would be better if Safari did not suggest a password. Suggesting a password makes the user think the password is being saved when it isn't.

Can't print from safari to hp 4620 appears to print but does not first to print from safari notes print no problem any suggestions?

Can't print from safari to hp 4620 appears to print but does not first time i have attempted to print from safari , notes print fine no problems. It is like on a desktop my print is sitting in the queue there are error messages only the usual print dialogue. I've turned the printer off and back on with no luck any suggestions?

That's very strange. See if clearing the cache in Safari will make it work. I'll include the steps below. If that doesn't help, install a different browser, such as Opera, to see if that will print from pages that Safari won't. If it will, then something is wrong with Safari. If it doesn't print, then the web pages might have printing blocked. There are sites that are doing that for copyright reasons. Let me know what you find.
To clear the cache on Safari:
Open Settings.
Select Safari
Touch Clear Cache.
Select Clear.
Touch Clear Cookies.
Select Clear.
Touch Clear History.
Select Clear.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
*Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
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. 
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. 
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.

Safari will not show passwords

I cannot get Safari to show passwords (in Preferences). The dialog box has a check box to allow passwords to be shown. I checked the box, gave permission by using my login to the MacAir, but nothing changes. Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Back up all data.
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. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
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
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.
