Safari won't ask to save password

Safari does not now fill in a password for a website that worked before. I changed the username and password, but Safari does not ask if I want to save the password.

As per BDAqua's advice, either edit or delete the one for that site that's acting wrongly. If you can't find it there, check /Utilities/Keychain Access->login keychain and delete the one for that site. That'll cause KA to request the next time you visit and try to log in.

Why does Apple ask to save passwords?

Why does Apple ask to save passwords?I am using PC's.

Thanks Doc, and apologies for tardy reply. I've checked the file permissions and all seems to be right. I've also re-made the bookfile with the same result.

Safari asks to save password. Said no, now I want to say yes!

I really like that Safari asks to save a user name and password. One time, Safari asked if I want to and I said 'Never for this website." Now, I have changed my mind but I'm never asked. Can I undo what I have done? Thanks

Hi,
Quit Safari.
Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left.
Delete the keychain for the site you want to save that information.
Relaunch Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Preferences - Autofill. Make sure: user names and passwords is selected.
Navigate to the site, enter your user name and passwords, click Yes when prompted. That will create a new keychain for you.

Firefox will not remember passwords even tho the box is checked and there are no exceptions listed. The little bar asking to save passwords doesn't even come up.

After an online session, Firefox (6.0.1) crashed and a crash report was sent. After that, Firefox would not start and the crash window kept coming up. I uninstalled it and did a new install. It works fine now except it will not remember passwords even tho the box to save is checked and there are no exceptions listed. The bar asking to save does not come up.

Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
* Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

A prompt from address bar is asking to save passwords for sites. It can be a password manager but cannot remember which one. Firefox seems not to have a way to remove it. Appears only when going to sites.

My problem has now been solved. I have selected the option to save passwords. Later I deselected it. After all, it is a simple mistake made by me. Thanks for the replies sent to resolve this. It simply is a setting in Options.

I have got same issue and I am going to try the last reply in the link below :

Won't ask to save my tabs on closing all

Firefox no longer asks to save tabs before closing firefox. It warns me that it is about to close all tabs but no longer asks to save them.
Mike Kay (aka Elrikk)

My '''browser.showQuitWarning''' setting was set to '''False'''. I set it to '''True''' while ensuring that '''browser.warnOnQuit''' was still '''True'''. Now I am prompted to save my tabs when I exit.
Also, if you don't Save your session when you exit, you should still be able to restore it next time you start Firefox by clicking '''History > Restore Previous Session'''.

Firefox had saved my login name and password for a site, when I changed the password, FF won't ask to save/update it so I have to enter it manually now. How do I get it to prompt me in FF7.01?

Using FF7.01 on a HP Pavilion dv6775us laptop running Vista Home (updated continuously)
The site owner changed the rules in order to improve password security so I was required to create a new password. When I did so I was not prompted by FF7.01 to save the new password.
When I next logged into the site, FF remembered the user name but presented the old (invalid) password. I was forced to manually enter the new password, but again was not prompted to save it to FF.
I then went into FF Security, viewed the saved passwords and deleted the entry for the site in question. I expected that when I logged into that site the next time I would be asked if I wanted to save the username and password. I wasn't.
I then exited from FF and relaunched it and again logged into the site in question. I was not prompted to save the username or password.
How do I force FF to ask for and then save the username and password?

Thank you for your reply.
My problem isn't removing my log-in name and password for a site.
The problem is I already had the log-in name and password saved by FF, but I was required by the site to change the password. FF did not recognize that it had changed and refuses to prompt me to save the new password.
After several attempts to force the prompt, I deleted the site from the Saved Password list, hoping that the next time I entered my log-in name and password on that site FF would ask if I wanted to save both. That did not happen even after exiting FF and relaunching it.
So, right now FF will not save my log-in name and password for a site that it used track for me. Given the complexity of the new password, I really do not want to manually enter it every time I use the site.
Regards.

PWMgr. won't ask to remember password for one site; it used to. It works on Safari. How do I get it to ask?

Mac OS 10.4.11, PowerBook G4. Broadband connection.
It used to remember the user name and password for this one site I use daily; suddenly it would put in user name but not fill in password. Neither one shows up on Password Manager.
I know it's not the site since Safari remembers both.
How can I restore the password?
Thanks

Thank you but I tried the bookmarklet twice; no dice. I downloaded password editor but I must be doing something wrong since I try to add the username & password and it doesn't stick.
Autocomplete is on and works for every other site (& on Safari). This particular site will autocomplete my name (that is if I type in the first letter it shows an option) and it used to then automatically add the password.
Help!

SAVING ISSUES!!! Firefox won't save passwords, won't ask to save them. I've used this for 2 years +. I know where the settings are. New comp, Windows 7, Ffx 4. Prompted to save the password 5 times and stopped

The settings are all correct. New machine. Only has the operating system and Firefox. No conflicting programs. It did 5 then stopped. Nothing has been added or changed since downloading FF.

Same issue here. I am '''NOT '''running in Private Browsing mode.
This may be an issue related to other add-ons, or not. I tried the remember-password bookmarklet with one site and it Worked! But when I looked in the saved passwords, the new userid and password were not there. I waited a few minutes and looked again, and mysteriously, it was there. Perhaps a caching issue. Exceptions box is empty.
I think this in an important issue that must be tracked and not assumed is always an operator-error.

How can I force Safari v.6.1 to Save passwords for sites that request passwords NOT BE Saved"?

Since the last OS X update when Safari was updated to version 6.1, I am having problems with passwords not being saved from specific sites that request that passwords "not be saved".
Example: Adobe.com
I did not have problem with Safari 5.1.
When I go to Safari Preferences and "click on box" "Allow Autofill even for websites that request passwords not be saved", a pop up box opens and refers me to "SECURITY & PRIVACY" indicating that a "SCREENLOCK" must be engged to allow for this action.
I have my firewall on.
I don't understand what they are requesring me to lock & how to do it.
Anyone who understands what I am being asked to do -or- how I can re-enable password saving, please email me.
Thanks,
<Email Edited by Host>

Actually, Linc's reply is EXACTLY the answer that is required.
If you go to the setting he mentions and enable the password after screen saver or sleep, then Safari 6.1 will allow you to save all the autofill login information you like, even the stuff for sites that request not to save them.

Safari won't remember any keychain passwords

Hi, so for some reason Safari has stopped remembering any of my passwords for websites. Is there a reason for this I just don't know of, or is there a setting somewhere that needs changed. I checked keychain access and tried adding them that way, but that didn't work. Thanks,
Shawn

If you remember the website passwords, you can enter a wrong password, when Safari asks if you want to save it say no, and then enter the correct one, when it asks whether you want to save this one, say yes. If you don't remember the correct passwords, perhaps, if you have one, you can get them from your back-up.

Not asking to save password or username

For some reason Firefox is not asking if I wish to save the user name and password anymore. Please help as to why.

You need to update your plug-ins. It is important to keep them updated due to continuing security fixes and improvements in those plug-ins:
* Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape "9.3.3"
* Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_20 for Mozilla browsers
#Check your plugin versions: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
#*'''Note: plugin check page does not have information on all plugin versions'''
#'''Update Adobe Reader (PDF plugin):'''
#*From within your existing Adobe Reader ('''if you have it already installed'''):
#**Open the Adobe Reader program from your Programs list
#**Click Help > Check for Updates
#**Follow the prompts for updating
#**If this method works for you, skip the "Download complete installer" section below and proceed to "After the installation" below
#*Download complete installer ('''if you do NOT have Adobe Reader installed'''):
#**Use Firefox to download and SAVE the installer to your hard drive from the link in the article below
#**On the Adobe page, un-check any extra items (i.e. Free McAfee® Security Scan Plus) then click Download button
#**If you see message just under tabs, DO NOT click the Allow button, instead click below that where it says "click here to download".
#**Click "Save to File"; save to your Desktop (so you can find it)
#**After download completes, close Firefox
#**Click the installer you just downloaded and allow the install to continue

Safari dosen't ask for a password

Whenever i try to log into website's like these apple forums, facebook, or anything like that - Safari dosen't give me the option to save the password "never for this website", "not now", or "yes".
It always used to before i installed Leopard!
Any ideas, Thanks

You're welcome. Glad to help. Appears something odd in the Leopard installation corrupted some or all of the auto-fill password entries. Did you remove the entire list?

Safari won't remember usernames or passwords

I recently upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. Now Safari will not save any passwords or usernames.
Any ideas as to what might cause this? Have I missed a setting or something?
Mikkel

Never mind - I found another thread which had the answer!

Firefox v5.0 want ask to save password..Didn't work in older Firefox also.

Saved password worked it 3.6 Firefox.
Started not working after reinstalling Firefox..
Started not working about 2 weeks ago...

The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password. 
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered
You can use this extension to save the name and password.
