Saving username/passwords

I have multiple google accounts. I have been able to save a username/password combo (automatic prompt) for two of them, but have not been able to get Firefox to prompt me to save username/password for additional accounts. I've checked everything I could think of -- site exceptions in the "options" menu, clearing the saved passwords list and starting over, reinstalling the browser -- but can't seem to fix the problem. Any idea why it would save username/password for some accounts but not others? Thx

Master Password for Saved Username & Passwords

I have been a Firefox user for many years - avoiding Safari - until I found out there are a number of plugins that I need and will make using Safari a possibility. One feature I LOVE on Firefox is the way it handles passwords. I have one Master Password that I have to enter in order for Firefox to auto-fill my username and password that is saved.
Is there a way to do this in Safari? Is there a free plugin that will add this feature?

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
s there a way to do this in Safari? Is there a free plugin that will add this feature?
Yes. No need for a plugin.
You don't need third party software for usernames and passwords. You have the Keychain Access application already. (Applications/Utilties).
To set Safari preferences, launch Safari. From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences. For usernames and passwords select the Autofill tab.
Select the box next to: Usernames and Passwords.
In Safari, go to a site you login using a username/password. You will be prompted to save that data so a "keychain" can be created for you.

Missing saved usernames, passwords and not translating into English

On Monday Firefox would not open. I received some message about my internet connection. Went to B&N because it has AT&T WiFi. Firefox open but when I open a foreign magazine the translate did not automatically and the Translation button did not appear. Later on Monday I opened a site that required a username and password that was remembered on Firefox but it did not appear. I have not been able to find out how to turn the Translation and the password Remembered back on. I saw a site that says a software program had to be download in order to correct this program but I did not download the software.

Did you check the settings in the Google Toolbar?

Some username/password forms are not filled nor give a selection.

One some websites (most recently https://tinkercad.com) FF does not give me a selection of my saved username/password combination on the sign in screen.
It works fine on most of my other sites, like a roundcube installation or any of the dozens of other sites requesting login/password, even the ones with autocomplete=off which I removed using a bookmarklet.
As I'm using both throwaway mailaddresses and randomly generated passwords, the save password function is essential for me. How can I make it work with tinkercad.com?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

I use master password & if I change passwords on a site, it doesn't ask to "change" Also doesn't ask to "remember" with new usernames/passwords. Does anyone know how to fix this or add usernames & passwords to saved password page on Firefox.

Firefox (I think version 5, maybe 4) does not ask to "remember" passwords anymore nor does it ask to "change" a password when I've done that. It didn't ask when I changed my Facebook password & I have to log in each time so I removed my username & password for FB on Firefox's "saved password" page. When I've don't that before, it asks to "remember" but doesn't anymore. I use a master password.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
*https://support.mozilla.com/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"
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.

Safari isn't saving a specific Username/Password

OK, this one has stumped me... I am a member of a few site/forums, and for some reason one of them that I go to regularly stopped saving the username/password.. Its not the site, because on my other computers it is saved - so its not that its being blocked (and I am checking the 'Save password' box).. Its just from my MBP. And its only that one site.. It'll stay in place if I close the window, but once I exit out of Safari, I need to re-enter it. My UN/PW info saves here at MacRumors without any problem, as it does for any other forum I go to.
I tried File > Empty Cache and File > Reset Safari, but no luck - still won't save for that one site..
I also tried checking/resetting the Safari Preferences> AutoFill settings, no luck.. Even went as far as to check keychain - there was nothing saved specifically for this site, but I still cleared out any internet passwords. No luck.
Is there anything else I can clear out? (I have OnyX, ran through the cleaners there and it didn't help either)...
Ideas?

Thanks for the response, but no luck:
In your Application>Utility folder, open Keychain.app. In the spotlight panel, enter the name of the web site. Highlight it, then Edit menu>delete.
-> Typed in the name of the site, doesn't come up.
Next, go to the Keychain Menu>Keychain First Aid. After entering your password, select "repair". If any errors appear, rerun until you get a clean pass.
-> Still went ahead and did this. Did find an error with my mail keychains - and fixed it.
Restart Safari.
->Done
Go to your Safari Menu>Preferences>Security>Cookies. Remove any cookies relative to that particular web site.
-> Did this too, There were a few from the site.
Enter the URL and complete the UN/PW etc. You ought to see a prompt panel asking you to save the password.
-> Didnt' ask me to save UN/PW
Next, quit/restart Safari. Try the web site again. Did the PW etc. stick?
-> Nope.
i'm still stumped!

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 andnow all my saved usernames and passwords have been deleted. How can I get them back securely?

I need to get back my saved usernames and passwords that were automatically accessed but now do not show up

All my passwords are still stored in Firefox 4.0 but the program doesn't paste them into the login boxes.

Not saving username or password

Firefox does not offer to save username and passwords. No drop-down box appears. I have to manually type in username/passwords. I've followed the advice from your website and others without success.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Several weeks ago

The fix at: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/723378#threadId723379 doesn't work. My OS is XP not Win 7.
It used to work fine, but has stopped for no apparent reason.

How can i make Safari on the Touch saving my Usernames/Passwords?

I found out, that Safari on my Touch doesn't save any Usernames/Password. So, everytime i visit a website i.e. my website-gui, the touch ask me everytime for the Username and the password. That is somehow crap! Does anyone knows how to change that?

Second that.
Only beta, but very cool.
Just tried it - it was built for the iPhone, but works fine on the Touch.
BTW, it's also one great password manager, and have great support.

Keychain asks verification at many new pages of same site - how to reset keychain without losing saved usernames and passwords

keychain asks verification at many new pages of same site - how to reset keychain without losing saved usernames and passwords

Reported as spam!

I lose half my saved usernames everytime Firefox closes and they are always the same ones!

The saved usernames that disappear are all of the "https" type.
Firefox is not even asking me if I want to save the username and password.

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? 
If the latter happens then you have a problem with cookies that are not kept or the file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* You need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"

I am unable to store my username & password for email accounts.

this article was not able to help me:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/usernames-and-passwords-are-not-saved#firefox:win7:fx27
i tried the password manager settings, but did not see a list of sites in the exceptions list!
the "always use private browsing feature" is not checked off in my privacy settings!
the "clear history when firefox closes" feature is not checked off in my privacy settings!
i do not have password manager software embedded in my antivirus software!
the "remember password" prompt does not always operate!!! i do not always see this when attempting to log into my email accounts, especially if entering a new email address!!
any assistance you provide would be appreciated.

hello, websites can specify if browsers should be able to save username/passwords (through the autocomplete="off" attribute in the login form in the html source code) - this is often the case when a higher level of security is presumably required by those sites.
you can either [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/remember-passwords/ install an addon] or [https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password use a bookmarklet] to circumvent this restriction.

I want to erase the automatic sign-in of username & password for facebook, because firefox always rfemembers my username & password. How will i disable it? please help.. thanks

How will i disable the auto sign in of my username & password for facebook?

If you saved the password in Firefox, you can clear that here:
orange Firefox button > Options > Security > "Saved Passwords"
''or''
Tools menu > Options > Security > "Saved Passwords"
It's also possible that you have a cookie that keeps you logged in, but in that case, signing off from Facebook should end your session.
