"Secure Login" add doesn't remember Yahoo passwords
Hey,
I have recently switched from Opera to Mozilla and I'm still getting used to it.
I'm using an add-on to log in automatically on different websites. It works absolutely fine, up until it comes to Yahoo. For some reason, this is the only website I can't automatically log in. It's really frustrating because I have several e-mail addresses and I need to check them all the time.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you
hello, websites can specify if browsers should be able to save username/passwords & taht's the case with yahoo too (through the autocomplete="off" attribute in the login form in the html source code).
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.

Hey guys I got a used iBook from a family friend that has it password protected.I can't update or delete programs or download anything without the passwords and he doesn't remember them.Is there any way for me to get around these without wiping the computer and starting from scratch?
Hello,
Sadly without the system disk you can't do a lot. I would suggest you enable root user, log in as root and reset your administrators password, however you can't without knowing the administrator password first.
The only solution would be is to obtain the correct system disk or buy a retail copy of Mac OS X. But note, it depends on what version of the iBook you own depends, on what version of Mac OS X you will require.
You can still obtain the system disk or retail disks from online vendors, but they come at a cost.
System disk are grey in color, while retail disk have a big 'X' on it.

help, i need to restore my phone, I keep getting an error to turn off find my iphone, I can't get into the phone b/c my daughter change the password and doesn't remember what she changed it to.
Remove an iOS device or Mac on which you can’t turn off Find My iPhone
If you can’t turn off Find My iPhone on the device, turn off the device so it goes offline, then remove it from Find My iPhone on iCloud.com.
Note: If you have an iOS device, you can also remove your device by first erasing it—just follow the instructions below to remove a device you don’t have. You can later restore the device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
Turn off the device.
Sign in to icloud.com/#find on another computer with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud). If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
Click All Devices, select the offline device, then click Remove from Account. If you don’t see Remove from Account, click All Devices again, then click the Delete (x) button next to the device. If the device comes online again, it will reappear in Find My iPhone. To make sure your device doesn’t reappear, turn off Find My iPhone on the device (follow the instructions above to remove an iOS device or Mac), or if you have an iOS device, you can erase it, then remove it (follow the instructions below to remove an iOS device you no longer have). -
My keychain doesn't remember my passwords!
I accidentally deleted everything in the keychain, now, everytime when I try to connect to the wireless network, I will have to input the password, even if I check the box "remember the passwork into keychain". Could anybody help me?
You can find help in OS X's Help by searching on 'keychain'. Checkout the information in "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Solving problems with keychains".
Hopefully that information will help you clear up the issue.
If that doesn't help and since this really has nothing to do with wireless networking, I suggest that you post in the OS 10.4 discussion area. -
Yesterday, I accessed the website for my bank. I entered the account #, then the password. I received an error message on the password, although I was almost sure the password was correct. I clicked "don't remember password" and was given the very password I had entered. I was really puzzled, but tried it again. It still didn't work. I then tried Internet Explorer at the advice of my bank rep. I created a new password on Internet Explorer, and was able to get right through to the website. Later, I tried Mozilla Firefox again with the original password. Again, the password was not accepted, but when I asked to access the correct password, I was given the new password I had entered on Internet Explorer. I'm very confused. Please help!
Hey Mez115, awesome to hear and thanks for reporting back! =)

Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes. If iTunes asks for the pascode and you can't enter the passcode aor you do not have the syncing computer, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore -
help with my questions above
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If you previous synced to the computer then you may be able to recovery use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:

Remember my password doesn't always work
We have encountered problems with the "remember my password" functionality. The users are prompted to login even though checked "remember my password". This ebhaviour is very random and intermittent. We have encountered this on our dev servers in addtion to the portal.plumtree.com site. Is this a bug with 5.0.x release? Has anyone else noticed this?
Thanks.
Vanita
StaplesVanita - Bernard is correct that cookies are the way in which the portal handles the Remember My Password functionality. If the user checks the box, the portal writes a persistent cookie to the client with a login token - the encrypted password is not part of this token. (We actually had to modify the code so that we could include the encrypted password since the Exchange 2K portlets needed the user's password in order to function the way we needed them to.)
There's also a configuration setting that determines how often the Keep Me Logged In token is reset. I think the default is like 1 week - it is in the documentation somewhere. Other than the interval at which the portal configuration resets the token, the token cookie is there until the second the user clicks Logoff. That terminates everything and the portal starts fresh again.
Are you implementing any kind of SSO or do you have any customizations to the Login AS at all that might be affecting the out-of-the-box functionality? If not, it seems like it has to be the cookies.

Account logged In but can't remember the Password
The tittle sums it up, my boss has a skype account and has been logged for 1 year in that computer and forgot her password, now shee need to change computer and doesn't remember the password (not even the user)... so it's there a way to see the password for a logged account?
Hi, HernanCortes, and welcome to the Community,
Hopefully the account's registered e-mail address is still valid and working. You can see the Skype account's name by reviewing the profile details; the account name will appear at the very top of the profile window.
If the account is still logged in, click on Skype -> Change Password.
More ways to change an account password (seeing as you did not specify which version of Skype is being used on which operating system) can be found in these FAQ articles:
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA109/i-can-t-sign-in-to-skype
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA95/how-do-i-change-my-password
To answer your question, no; there is no way to see the password.
Regards,
Elaine

He now can remeber either and we have no way of deleting the account is there anothere way around this?
There's no way around it. If the previous owner can't remember his ID, he can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625. If he doesn't remember his password he can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.

Yosemite won't remember email passwords
I have 6-7 email accounts, from [email protected] to [email protected], to [email protected], and so on. Ever since upgrading to Yosemite, my iMac doesn't remember the password for two of these accounts the [email protected], and one of the cox.net accounts (but only one). It asks and I enter them over and over. When I finally give up in frustration and hit cancel, the dialogue box disappears, and both those accounts can receive and send email. Next time I boot up, same thing all over again. What's going on?
Try deleting the passwords from Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access.

For most other sites' login pages, Firefox recognizes that they are login pages and offers to remember my password. For the Windows Live Mail login page it does not.
That log in page is created via JavaScript and the Password Manager doesn't work in that case.
You can see that if you inspect the page source.
*Firefox > Web Developer > Page Source
*Tools > Web Developer > Page Source (Ctrl+U)
*Right-click on a web page to open the right-click context menu and select Page Source

I need to know how to enable the box that asks if i would like firefox to remember this password.
Normally when you install Firefox this feature is turned on by default. You can check the status in the Options dialog:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Security tab
In the second section, there's a checkbox for "Remember passwords for sites". These articles have more information:
* [[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]
* [[Use a Master Password to protect stored logins and passwords]]
Now... some sites add code to the fields on their forms to block autocompletion (which also blocks saving logins), so you may find some sites where Firefox will not offer to save the password for this reason. There may be workarounds, as have been discussed many times for Yahoo! mail, for example, but since these are lengthy to describe, please post back if the problem is site-specific and if possible provide a link to the login form. -
Login can't be remembered on yahoo sign in
ever since upgrading to 24.0, before this, never a problem, i have gone through the list of cookies, and my settings, according to the articles written are in compliance.
I would have responded to another person who wrote the same issue, but this entire ordeal, has led me here instead.
Can someone please help, or is this a bug issue and will be fixed soon?
Thanks.hello mary3504, is your question that you're not automatically signed in when you visit yahoo after a browser restart or that the firefox password manager doesn't remember your username/password for the sign in form?
'''no automatic sign in'''
<br>please try all the steps at [[Websites say cookies are blocked - Unblock them]]
'''password not saved'''
<br>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 also the case at yahoo. 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.
