Safari unable to open password protected websites

I reported this bug using the bug report button on the Safari toolbar three beta version ago, and as the bug hasn't been fixed yet, I'm beginning to wonder if these bug reports actually go anywhere, especially as I once sent a "bug report" when I was not even connected to the internet and was told that the message had been sent successfully!
When I go to for example www.ofcomswindlecomplaint.net/dev/, it asks me for my username and password, and then when I submit the correct username and password, the dialog disaapears momentarily and then reappears with a message saying they were invalid - but they are not invalid, and I can log in to the site in any browser other than Safari.
Is there any way of ensuring this issue is seen by the developers? As I say, I have reported it three times via the bug report button but those bug reports seem to have gone into a black hole.

Safari has no problem with the site - if I remove the password protection Safari has no problems. It's IIS-based standard password protection that Safari isn't compatible with. And it's Safari Windows that is the problem, not the site - no other browser has any problem with it. It's a Safari bug and my question was how I can ensure that the developers are aware of it, given that the bug reports button on the Safari toolbar seems to go into a black hole.

  • Safari won't open password protected websites.

    I've been having this issue since I installed Leopard and it's been a real drag.
    Safari won't open protected web directories. When I attempt to go to those sites Safari just makes me wait. Normally it should drop down the little username and password authentication box.
    I've tried re-installing Safari from the Leopard CD ROM - same problem.
    The problem doesn't seen to persist when I try from a Guest Account so I know it has to do with my particular account.
    It seems many other users are having this issue as I've come across some other useful forums that address this issue: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=73170
    I've tried all of these suggested fixes with no luck:
    -Trash the "login.keychain" file located in the Keychains in the users Home folder. (Users/yourname/Library/Keychains/)
    -Repairing permissions in Disk Utility
    -Changing my firewall port to something other than 80.
    -Adding X509Anchors and X509Certificates to my keychain.
    ...unfortunately none of these fix the problem for me.
    The only thing that fixes the issue is to "Reset Safari" from the Safari menu. This really ***** because it erases all of my history, passwords, etc. This fix also seems only temporary. After about 3 days the issue starts up again. Joy. Is there ANY other option?
    Truly frustrated with this.

    Thanks. Unfortunately that didn't work for me. I tried deleting the bookmark and visiting the site by typing in the address. The same problem still persists. I just sit there staring at the loading symbol spin and spin - hypnotized with anticipation.
    Any other ideas out there?

  • Unable to open password protected PDF in safari

    Dear all, I'm new in using iPhone safari. I have problem in opening password protected PDF file from safari. Do you have any solution or workaround to resolve this problem
    Regards
    BR

    You can put pretty much any character into the encryption password for a PDF file apart from control codes (carriage returns, backspaces, etc), but whether the vendor's website can is another matter!
    As you seem to have a PDF with a user password that isn't what you expected, there's nothing you can do to remove it other than perhaps trying a version without the quote characters, or with a backslash in front of the quote (it's possible they escaped the string on the login form in preparation for storing it in a database, and forgot to unescape it again).

  • Unable to open Password protected Document I created

    Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10.0 is the program i am using.
    I have forgotton or put in the password incorrectly when i created a large very important document. Is there a way that i can get into this document, as i am the creator? I am unable to opent the document without the appropriate password. Please help. I am on a time line and beginning to panic!
    Thank you!

    This would be the ordinary backups you make of your computer and files, to protect you against the computer being broken or stolen, or files being accidentally deleted, or passwords lost. Many people don't make backups, but that is not a good plan.

  • Safari Won't open password protected Graphite Filesharing Public folder

    Dear people,
    Using Homepage I made my Public folder available to a small group of people, whom I gave my password. I chose Graphite Filesharing. Starting about half a year ago, I got mor and more complaints from people not being able to Login. The password is not refused, but the dialog keeps coming back. This only happens in Safari 3 and Safari 4. Firefox works fine.
    If you need more info, then please leave a URL where I can post a formal bug report with all the details.
    Kind regards,
    Gerard Jonker

  • Acrobat XI Pro for OSX can't open password-protected pdfs created using Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows

    I am having problems opening password-protected files created on a PC using Acrobat 9 Pro.  I am running a MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.4 with Acrobat XI Pro.  When I attempt to enter the password when prompted, a dialogue box pops up saying that I've entered the incorrect password.  After many attempts, I am certain that the password entered is correct -- this is reinforced by the fact that i am able to open the same document using Mac's Preview software.
    Any assistance would be appreciated!
    Thanks.

    I was suddenly having the same problem in Acrobat XI Pro for Windows (recently upgraded to CC from Acrobat X).  For the past while I've sometimes had to use the "insert from file" tool to get a page added from another file.  I couldn't figure out why dragging sometimes would no longer work, but was too busy to go looking for a solution until tonight. 
    The solution was given by JoshTatum24 above. Switch from a scrolling page display to single page display.  Now I can drag pages between documents again.  THANK YOU Josh!
    Oh, and CORREAdmin,  it does not matter whether the hand or arrow selection tool is active, my mouse pointer is always an arrow when positioned in the page thumbnails panel.  Switching selection tools does not make a difference in dragging, but switching between scrolling and single page display definitely DOES make the difference.

  • Why does the new version of Firefox not integrate with Norton 360 Identity Safe. Problem for me because I use Norton 360 Identity Safe to manage my passwords and make it more difficult to use password protected website without that add-in.

  • Can't open password protected PDF files.

    As per the thread title, I can't seem to open password protected PDF files via the Mail app.
    I've read that you can open them if they're synced and opened via iBook, however, this is not an option for me.
    I get sent several password protected PDF for work per week and would like to be able to read them directly from the Mail app just like a regular PDF file.
    Does Apple know of this issue and will they implement a fix in the near future?

    I haven't tried opening any password-protected Office files in Numbers or Pages on my iOS device, but I doubt that it can be done. Neither Numbers or Pages for the Mac can open them so it is extremely unlikely.

  • Open password-protected XLSX files in Numbers '09

    Hi @ all,
    I've just started using Numbers a few days ago. I want to open password-protected xlsx-files. Numbers refuses opening it.
    Why?

    This is true. However as a workaround I found out the Quick View function allows you to type in the password and then at least get a preview of its contents. Note that this was not the case earlier on Snow Leopard (I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion).

  • Will the new iPad open password protected PDF files?

    I attend college online, and have always had a problem viewing password protected PDF files on my iPad. Will the new iPad allow opening these files?
    Thank you!

    You can install the same iOS version running the new iPad onto your iPad.
    Download the free Adobe Reader app from the App Store. It opens password protected PDFs just like thee desktop version.
