Saved password problem missing

Hi everyone. My problem is that I can't see my saved password. Something happaned but I don't know what happened. I tried to reset the Firefox, but it didn't solve. When I open "signons" file with notepad, it shows the name of the saved websites and coded letters. What should I do to see my saved passwords again? I also tried to uninstall the Firefox and install it again, then copying "signons" file but it also didn't work. Please help me.

You need the matching key3.db file that stores the encryption key. 
The encrypted names and passwords can't be decrypted without this file.
You can try to restore a previous version of the key3.db file and/or signons.sqlite.
*Right click: Properties > Previous Versions

Make sure to first create a backup copy of key3.db and signons.sqlite before experimenting.

Saved passwords are missing

I downloaded Norton Internet Security 2011 (i used to have Norton Anti-Virus prior to this installation) and when i logged back into Firefox....ALL my saved Usernames and Passwords were GONE!!!! I run Windows XP...

This same issue started to happen to me ever since I installed Norton Anit-Virus. Very frustrating.

Icon for saved passwords is missing, as are the passwords in ver 8.0. What happened? I have Norton 360, too.

The feature does work for IE, and did for the previous version of Firefox. When I upgraded, it disappeared. I have checked tools, options, security and the appropriate boxes are checked.

Make sure are using Norton 360 v5?

I am missing my saved passwords and I do not get prompted to remember passwords since downloading a recent update, why?

I use AOL mail and saw a banner for a supported firefox download and I made the mistake of downloading the update. Since I have none of my saved passwords and I do not get a prompt when I enter a site for the choice to save the password. I am looking to change to Google Chrome if this cannot get corrected.

I encountered precisely this problem after the first upgrade to iOS 8, also on a 5s: empty Recents lists, failure to log any calls and a badge showing a -1 (minus 1). It appears to be a problem with corruption of the iPhone backup file, whether backed up to the computer or to iCloud (I tried both). Whether it was introduced by the iOS 8 upgrade process is open to speculation as I'd had no problems with restoring from backup with a couple of prior iOS 7 updates.
Restoring the iPhone to Factory settings solves the problem, but then restoring from a backup re-introduces it. Setting the device up as a new phone is the only way to fix it. Problem is, you lose your contacts and SMS history, unless you've used a third-party app to back them up outside iTunes. If that's no problem, simply do a Factory Restore then set up the phone as new and the problem is gone.
If it is a problem (it was for me), I found two apps that enable you to back up & subsequently restore Contacts & Messages. Syncios is free and worked like a charm for getting my Contacts backed up & restored to the phone. However, it can only back up & restore Messages if the device is jailbroken.
This phone was not JB'd so I had to find another app for Messages: Backuptrans iPhone SMS Backup and Restore. It is $19 for up to 3 devices but was worth it in my case; creates a backup file on your computer that you can restore from after the Factory Restore. Very simple & straightforward.
The photos, apps & music, etc., were easily restored to the phone via iTunes sync.
Hope this is of help to others similarly affected. Must be relatively rare, though, as even the Senior Apple Advisors I worked with had not encountered it before. I made them aware of this thread, FWIW.

Still having problems saving passwords

I have followed the instructions contained in:
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/make-firefox-remember-usernames-and-passwords?s=Saving+Passwords&r=5&e=es&as=s
But I still cannot get the browser to prompt me to save the password. I have deleted and reinstalled Firefox twice today. The first time without deleting personal data and the second time with deletion, but still I cannot get the browser to store passwords. I am at a loss as to how to continue.

This can also be caused by hardware acceleration not working properly.

# Select the site in the list, then click Remove

Dreamweaver (8) is deleting my saved passwords, help!

Yes, Dreamweaver 8 has started deleting saved passwords when
I restart. I have hit save, I know.. it's done it twice with the
same site today. This is so annoying, I go to upload and FTP info
is invalid and the username and password are missing (from the
remote and testing servers). That's no good!
How can I fix this? Anyone had trouble?

Have you not understood that IE7 is causing this from the
hundreds of posts
and answers already? You can either remove IE7 or update to
DW8.0.2, as
explained in these posts.

How do I use "saved passwords" to access a site?

I have a list of saved passwords in firefox. So what steps do I use to access the site. If I click on the saved password entry nothing happens? I want to use firefox saved passwords software. I used to use Roboform where I had a list of logins and just clicked on the entry and the username/password was entered automatically. Can firefox do this, too? If so tell me how to do it? Where's the list of logins in firefox that I can click on and have the username & password filled in from the saved list? My windows XP/pro died so I had to transfer data to Win7. Some of my Roboform data was lost so I am starting over and want to use Firefox software for username/password to access sites similar to the way Roboform works? Tell me how?

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
To see all History and Cookie settings, choose:
*Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
*Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
You can also check the signon.autofillForms pref on the about:config page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/signon.autofillForms
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

How do I change just the user ID for saved passwords?

I frequent a website where I have two completely separate User IDs and passwords, but Firefox will only save one or the other, not both. I have the same situation on other websites, and have no problem logging in with different IDs, but on this one website I have to enter the login information separately because Firefox only remembers one password, no matter which user ID I enter.
Isn't there some way to change the Remember Password entries manually?

*Saved Password Editor: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/saved-password-editor/

In Security, clicking on the "Saved Password" button displays your current saved password for each site. It does not allow you to change a password. How would you do that?

In Security, clicking on the "Saved Password" button displays your current saved password for each site. It only allows you to view and delete site passwords. It does not allow you to change a password. How would you do that?

If you enter a new password Firefox should offer to change the password.
*You may not need to delete the old password. Try "Refreshing" the page, entering the site again, you may need to let Firefox fill in the old password, then enter the new password, and Firefox should ask to save the new password. See:
**http://kb.mozillazine.org/Deleting_autocomplete_entries
*If you delete the old password, you may need to "Refresh" the site after deleting the old password.
If you want to delete the password that has been saved do the following:
#In the Tools menu select Options to open the options window
#Go to the Security panel
#Click the "Saved Passwords" button to open the passwords manager
#Select the site in the list, then click Remove

I want to update a subset of my remembered passwords via the "saved passwords" list; not one at a time when I use them. Is there a way to do this?

A lot of my saved passwords are for different pages on the company internal network. Since there is only one password for all these pages it would be easier if I could change all of them in one go when I change the password.
I haven't seen any way to do this. Have I overlooked something or is it just a missing feature?

My best guess would be to follow the process of changing the backup as per the posts I have come across to point to a new drive...let it copy, and then point the backup back to the original time capsule again.
My only fear is that its going to them do the copy process twice...which when 1Tb could be laboursome to say the least...especially to and from a time capsule on a 10/100 network!
Thanks!
Mountain Lion allows TM to backup to two different locations.. You can use the TC and a USB disk plugged into the TC.
It can then swap itself around or you can physically move disks around when you want to retain data.
Your guess.. of using the copy the backup to another location will also work.
Let me suggest it is no bad idea to backup.. a disk image with a different utility.. superduper does disk images only for free.. and you can do it from disk utility itself. A disk image can be far easier to recover from then TM which can be several hours and even then lots of stuff seems to need manual moving around.

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!

I can no longer get to my saved passwords anymore.

I currently am running Nightly 34.0a1 and I'm unable to access my saved passwords. The window that usually comes with asking for the password does not show up. I've never had a problem with this until I updated to Nightly.

Firefox 32 and later builds store the passwords in the logins.json file in the profile folder and no longer use the signons.sqlite file.
You can try to force Firefox to reimport the passwords from the signons.sqlite file.
* reset the signon.importedFromSqlite pref on the about:config page to the default value via the right-click context menu
* delete the logins.json file in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed
When you restart Firefox then you should have the signon.importedFromSqlite pref with the value set to true and you should have the passwords imported in the Password Manager unless there may have been errors.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

Upgraded to 8.3, now auto fill is not working. I have checked, rechecked my info, saved passwords, etc. to no avail. Is this bug in 8.3. Never did this until I upgraded.

Upgraded IPad to to 8.3, now auto fill is not working. I have checked, rechecked "my info", "saved passwords", etc. to no avail. Is this bug in 8.3. Never did this until I upgraded. Wife is not happy I upgraded!

Auto fill works for me in iOS 8.3.
Try the standard troubleshooting steps in this order:
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
See here for more details on restore: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
If none of these work your device may have developed a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/contact/

Unable to view saved passwords in Safari. Again.

Unable to view saved passwords because I whenever I check the box to “view password” it immediately reverts the box back to being “unchecked”. Thus, I’m unable to view any or all passwords saved within Safari on my MBP (mid-2012) running 10.9.5. Also, auto-fill of passwords isn’t working at all.
This has been an ongoing problem for quite some now. I’ve fixed it somehow before but I can’t recall what it was that I did.
Any help?
Thank you.
