Saving Passwords on Safari and Keychain

i never use Keychain and dont want my internet from safari passwords sasved on it.
i have looked at safaro prefs and keychain. i can not see anywhere where i can stop the 2 apps linking on P.Words

Leopard Pagan,
There is a Safari Preference, have you tried...Safari>Preferences>AutoFill Web Forms: (Uncheck All)?
If these selections have been checked, you must click "Edit" in order to remove them from AutoFill.
Keychain has never asked me to retain a Safari password, nor do I find evidence of any password having been recorded in Keychain Access.

  • Master Password appears to have messed up Safari and Keychain Access

    Hi!
    I searched on my issue at length and perhaps I'm just ignorant, but I could not see an answer. So here goes...
    My department has an internet site that requires a Certificate on Windows machines on the network, however you can also authenticate by entering your user name and password. I had entered my information, and saved the information in my Keychain.
    Yesterday, I set the Master Password in System Prefs, however I did NOT turn FileVault on.
    Today, I came to work and am on my work's network, just like normal. I went to a bookmark that is on the password protected site and I got a Keychain window asking for my FileVaultMaster password (or something like that). It was not looking for my login password for the Mac, rather the Master Password I set yesterday.
    I entered the correct password, then I get the nasty page saying that the Page Requires and SSL Certificate.
    So, I went to the Keychain Access and repair, but nothing needed repair. Emptied cache, same problem. I deleted the item in the Keychain, same problem. Deleted all saved passwords in Safari, same problem. Deleted all cookies, same problem.
    So, I opened Firefox and I'm able to get in, but I can't in Safari.
    Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    This may not help, but I'd use the Network panel of System Preferences to create a new "Location" and add an AirPort connection item to that. (To create a new location, pull down the "Location" list and select "Edit Locations".) In the new location add an AirPort connection item and nothing else.) If that works, you would use location switching to alternate between mobile broadband an Wi-Fi connections. The easiest way to do that would be to use the "Location" item under the Apple menu.
    For future reference, this discussion group section is intended for discussions of Apple's AirPort Extreme 802.11n base station. A better place for your post would probably have been in the "Getting Online and Networking" section of the "Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard" area.

  • Can't delete my saved passwords from Safari 5.1 on Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    When the bugs in 1Password initially disabled that application on Safari 5.1 I started saving manually entered passwords on Safari while 1Password was being fixed. Now that 1Password is working I want to remove the saved passwords on Safari as a secirity precaution.  But they won't delete; not individually, not as a group. When I click Remove All the passwords all turn blue as if about to be deleted en mass but don't disappear. Trying it by highlighting one and clicking Remove doesn;t work either.  Any suggestions?

    You are much better off using the Mac OS X app Keychain Access which is pre installed on your Mac instead of a third party password manager.
    This link shows the results of a Safari / 1Password forum search which reveals all the problems 1Password causes for Safari.

    .Now that 1Password is working I want to remove the saved passwords on Safari as a secirity precaution.
    Your passwords are not stored in Safari per se, they are stored in Keychain Access.  /Applicatiions/Utilities. Trying to use both is causing a conflict.

  • Hate safari and keychain

    i hate safari and keychain ,is there any solution ,i try my best ,when ever i will try to open my yahoo mail it will ask about certificate even i clik on the certficate to trust this side .other thing when yahoo will open it will just come like a black page where u can login by user name and password but the grapichs is not coming.that means when i will open yahoomail site it will not come on proper way it will only come by letter graphics will be not there but i can use my yahoo mail,but iwanna solv this problem becuse it look ugly

    I was having a similar problem when going to the Apple website. I was being asked about a keychain. Other sites were fine.
    For some reason, none of the suggestions from others had worked for me. What did work was this:
    1. Open Hard Drive, Applications, Utilities, Keychain Access.
    2. From Keychain Access menu, choose Preferences.
    3. On the General tab, click the "Reset My Keychain" button.
    Problem solved.

  • Cannot access to any site with ssl connection and fail to open safari and keychain, unless restart computer and login in with Guest account.

    when Update to 10.7.2 ,I cannot access to any site with ssl connection and fail to open safari and keychain, unless restart computer and login in with Guest account.
    OS:10.7.2
    Macbook Pro 2010-mid 13inch

    I also have the same problem, however if I use Firefox or Opera sites with ssl connection work fine. Still, I can't use Google Chrome (ssl), Safari (ssl), the Mac app store (generally), or the iTunes store (generally). Both the iTunes store, Safari and the app store won't respond, and Chrome displays this error: (net::ERR_TIMED_OUT). The problem persists regardless of what network I'm using. Also, when trying to access the keychain or iCloud, the process will not start (will hang). I didn't have these problems at all before updating to 10.7.2.
    Sometimes rebooting helps, and sometimes not. If the problem disappears by rebooting, then it only lasts a few minutes before it reappears. It is very frustrating, especially since there doesn't seem to be any obvious or consistent way of which to fix it.
    I'm also using a Macbook Pro 13-inch mid 2010.

  • Saved Password For Safari in iOS Setting isn't Hash and it is showing the password

    Hi,
    I'm Using apple iphone 6 plus and the most iportant things for me is Security
    in setting>safari>Passwords & AutoFill>Saved Passwords all off the password shows to who was work with the iphone with device password but it must be show as hash to everyone who use this device.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

  • Why can't I update my saved passwords in Safari on my iPhone?

    My phone is running iOS 8.1.3. I need to update some of my Autofill saved passwords but it never prompts me to "update" when I delete the old password and enter a new one. I've tried turning on and off iCloud Keychain, deleting all the saved passwords, etc.

    Can you see the iPhoto Library from any other app, like Safari?  File ➙ Open File menu option:

  • Recovering Saved Passwords in Safari on a PC

    hi
    I have access to my latest timemachine backup which is a complete image of the macbook pro before selling it, now I am using windows, and need to recover few of the saved passwords from the Safari on my MAC.
    I was using MAvericks and LAtest Safari at that time Feb 2014.
    I highly appreciate if anybody can shed some lights on this situation and help me recover the information.
    Thanks

    Might be easier to find the passwords stored in Keychain Access located in /Applications/Utilities
    Launch Keychain Access then select passwords on the left
    Type in the name of a website you need the password for in the search field top right corner of that window.
    Then right or control click that keychain then select the Attributes tab.
    Click:  Show password
    (You may be prompted for your admin password)

  • Saved preferences in safari and desktop settings completely erased

    I opened up Safari and suddenly realized that all of the saved bookmarks and preferences were gone, and the same thing happened when I opened up Firefox. So I thought restarting the computer might help.
    However, after the computer (an eMac running 10.4.6) finished booting up, I noticed that all of the desktop preferences had been erased as well. Saved passwords, keychains, etc. all disappeared. The desktop background image was replaced with the default blue background. All of the saved dock preferences were gone and replaced with the default dock settings.
    I was wondering what happened, if it is at all possible to fix, and/or if there is possibly a bug going around. Any help or information would be extremely appreciated. It would be awful if this happened the other macs at our office.

    ducanedesigns,
    How much free space is available on the hard disk? Is Filevault in use?
    It is imperative that you have at least 10-15% of your hard disk available as free space in order that OS X can function without the threat of data loss.
    Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk, also by Dr. Smoke will help you identify methods which you can use to increase the free space on your startup disk.

  • Export all Safari and Keychain login details to print

    How can this be done so I have a hard copy of all my login off Safari or Keychain?

    If you want a paper copy of your login.keychain (which includes all of your Safari ones), use this simple AppleScript which generates a list containing the name, account username, and password for each key in my login.keychain. I use this list as a backup for all generic and webpage keys. This works without a problem when run in Script Editor (copy and paste the script into Script Editor, but don't include the <begin script> and <end script> items), prompting with a dialog box for approval to open each key, and continuing on to the end, producing the desired, tab-delimited text document named "Passwords", and saving it to the Desktop. Every time the dialog box pops up, click the right-most button that isn't grayed out. Once through, if you run the script again, it'll remember what you entered previously and not ask again. I usually clean it up manually and copy it into Excel where I can sort it.
    Ensure that Keychain Scripting.app is in /System/Library/ScriptingAdditions/ and that the login.keychain is in /Users/username/Library/Keychains/.
    <begin script>
    set osXKeychainScriptingPath to ¬
    (path to scripting additions from system domain as Unicode text) ¬
    & "Keychain Scripting.app:" -- one line
    set theSecuridPIN to {}
    tell application "Keychain Scripting" to launch
    tell application "Keychain Access" to launch
    using terms from application "Keychain Scripting"
    tell application osXKeychainScriptingPath
    set KeyList to every Internet key of current keychain
    repeat with aKey in KeyList
    set theSecuridPIN to theSecuridPIN & ((name of aKey) & tab & ¬
    (account of aKey) & tab & (password of aKey) & return) as text
    end repeat
    end tell
    end using terms from
    tell application "Keychain Scripting" to quit
    tell application "Keychain Access" to quit
    tell application "Finder"
    open for access file (((path to desktop folder) as text) & "Passwords") with write permission
    set theFile to result
    write theSecuridPIN to theFile
    close access theFile
    end tell
    <end script>

  • 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.

  • Can't remove saved passwords from Safari

    Using 10.10.1, Safari 8.0, upgrade from Snow Leopard.
    When I try to Remove one or all passwords in Safari's Passwords prefpane, nothing happens. How do I fix this?
    In a possibly related issue, when I try to delete the X509Anchors keychain file in Keychain Access, nothing also happens.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    resetp
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • No autofill or passwords in Safari and Chrome Safari Mountain Lion

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion Safari and Crome even Norton Identity safe can't Autofill, use my keychain save passwords or even ask me to save a new password..In Safari I do have check Autofill tab Use name and passwords but nothing , in Chrome I went to advance setings and I have check Ask to save passwords and nothing Norton Identity safe have passwords stored but nothing ..It seems that theres a problem with the system extentions or preferences ......
    I need some H E L P !

    Same problem with my MacBookPro and Mountain Lion. Passwords on the Apple site (like this support site) work fine. My brokerage account does not and they tell me it's not them, but an Apple issue. Also, serial numbers on some of my smaller aps have disappeared; at least one vendor told me it was a common Mountain Lion experience.
    I like Mountain Lion but I liked autofill and solid app validation even better. This is a turd in the punchbowl. Hard to believe that a company bent on zero flaws would let this slip through.Could it be due to the sandboxing or other security measure? Is Apple becoming like the US government -- so bent on "security" that it can't fulfill its own mission?
