Show Passwords in Safari 5?

I used to be able to click "show passwords" in the last safari under the security tab in preferences. Now I don't see it anymore. How can I see passwords under the autofill tab?

Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions...
You need to open the Keychain Access application for that located in: Applications/Utilities
Select Passwords on the left.
Double click a keychain then select the Attributes tab.
Select: Show Password

Annoying Safari behavior when I click show password in preferences and no favicon support

An hour ago I decided to switch to Safari 6.0.2 on Mac OSX 10.7.5 from Google Chrome and here I am with two issues.
Issue 1:
      Visiting preferences I eventually went to Password Tab as shown in screenshot below. As I checked show password option all of a sudden this pop up asking for permission :"safari wants to use your confidential information stored in your keychain."
     As I have about 100 websites passwords stored in my keychain, this pop up keeps coming one by one asking for permission for each and every site. And until I select any of 3 options I can not do any activity. I do not want to click around 100 times on Always Allow or any of other 2 options. This behavior is completely nuisance to me. Any suggestion on how to get rid of this? Is this a bug in Safari? Should I report it to Apple?
Issue 2:
     I figured out that Safari does not support favicons too, which is, in my opinion very efficient way to manage bookmark on Bookmark bar as bookmarks are easily searchable. I visited few questions regarding Favicons and all says NO support for Safari but since they are quite a few months older now I am including it here, with hope, if any solution is known to anyone.
Any suggestion or assistance will be helpful for any of the issue.
Due to these two issues I am forced to switch back to chrome within an hour. :-(
I have also posted my question on StackOveflow website superuser.
One small suggestion: UI and formatting on this discussion.apple.com seems very old and painful now. Stackoverflow offers excellent in this area. Kindly try to renovate this site with rich and easy features.

If you saved the passwords in another browser, then Safari is not automatically authorized to access them, nor is any other application. That's the whole point of the keychain. You should only get the prompt once for each password.

ICloud passwords not showing up in Safari on my Mac

All of a sudden, my iCloud passwords aren't automatically showing up when I try to login to websites in Safari on my Macbook Pro. However, they all seem to be showing up in Safari on my iPhone just fine. When I open the Keychain on my Mac, no website passwords are listed under iCloud passwords, which seems really strange.
Anyone have an idea as to how to get everything synced up properly?

Hey BabyDingo,
I'm having the same problem too. Are your passwords still showing up on 'Keychain Access' on your Mac? Only a very few are showing up on my Mac but 90% of them can't be found in my Keychain Access, which is slightly worrying. I was also asked to sign into my FaceTime, Messages and iCloud again and was told I was signed into a new Macbook Pro when I never did anything of that nature.
Very odd...

Safari will not show passwords

I cannot get Safari to show passwords (in Preferences). The dialog box has a check box to allow passwords to be shown. I checked the box, gave permission by using my login to the MacAir, but nothing changes. Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

Safari won't show passwords how do I fix?

Since I updated to OS X 10.9.4 on July 1st Safari won't show the passwords. I check box to show passwords. The box where I enter my passcode never shows up and the check mark disappears from the box. Have a MacBook Pro. So how do I fix this?

Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Cannot delete saved passwords in Safari on Yosemite

I am unable to remove any passwords from Safari (from the Passwords tab in Preferences). This is on Yosemite.
I have tried the solution outlined here: Yosemite Safari won't let me delete/change passwords, but it appears to make no difference.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?

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

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.

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.

Where can I find a printable list of my saved login Id's and passwords in safari?

Where can I find a printable list of my saved login Id's and passwords in safari?

SafariPreferences>Passwords>Tick Show Passwords>Enter Password when prompted>
Then, as as the system will not let you print the result directly,
Go to Applications>find GRAB>Go to Tool bar > Grab>Capture selecton>Make your selection>then print selection
This works for me and I keep GRAB in my Dock.

Use Keychain to find or store password with Safari

Hello Guys,
I wonder how I could use Keychain to find my forgotten password on hotmail with Keychain. Do we need to activate something? I'd really like to know.
At least, do you know how to set my Safari, so I can store my passwords?
Thanks!

provided you actually ever stored the password in the keychain, open keychain Access, locate the keychain entry for hotmail, double-click on it and check the box to show password. you'll have to enter you keychain password at this point which is your login password by default.

How can I get Lion to show password text in plain characters?

In all earlier versions of the Mac OSX, I had the option of showing at least new passwords in plain text instead of dots. Was an advantage over Windoze.
I also had the option NOT to show password text.
Since I moved up to Lion, all passwords show as dots. I find no option to do otherwise. Can this be changed?

I have the same problem. Does anyone have an answer?

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.

"Show password" in Keychain Access not working

When I launch Keychain Access and tick the "Show password:" checkbox for a given Keychain item I get prompted to enter my password. After doing so the password field remains blank.
Anyone else run into this problem? Know a workaround?

I'm getting something like this but when I click "Show Password" I get a mumbojumbo of letters and symbols at least 120 characters and clearly not my passworld. Is this something with Maverick, because I've been having a lot of problems.
