Skype name and password field stays blank

I can't click on or type in the Skype name or password field. It just says like this: http://prntscr.com/80dv5c . I have 64-bit Windows 7.

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie11-w​​indows_7/cant-type-into-website-boxes-in-ie11wind​... If typing in Interenet Explorer doesn't work, then you will not be able to type on Skype login window, as this window is created and managed using Internet Explorer engine installed on your computer. As you can see, there might be several causes of this misbehaviour, and you should look at any antivirus/protection software installed on your computer. Meanwhile you can try to make use of the “legacylogin” workaround, which should enable login to Skype using the old legacy login window. However, you will not be able to login using Microsoft account (email address). Quit Skype. Make sure that you don’t see any Skype.exe processes in Windows Task Manager. If necessary, then stop these processes. Open this folder on your computer: C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\ You should see there the Skype application file (Skype.exe).  Right click on the Skype.exe file and select: Send to – Desktop (create shortcut). Right click on the newly created shortcut and select Properties and then the Shortcut tab. In the Target field you will see now: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" Click with your mouse on the text in the Target field and move your curser one space after the last quotation sign and add the text /legacylogin. The text in the Target field should now read: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe"  /legacylogin Click OK to save the changes. Start Skype using this new shortcut. Try now login to Skype?

    Hi,
    Can someone please help me? I'm trying to login using my usual login name but it says "Your skype name and password were not recignized". I used it few of days ago and it was fine until last Sunday (04-Dec). I've already contacted support team 2 days ago but they don't seem to care too much!
    Can someone explain me what is going on?

    In Internet Explorer go to Help -> About Internet Explorer.
    P.S. Please, don’t say that you are not using Internet Explorer. This is irrelevant. Skype depends on Internet Explorer.

    I have several skype names, and if I want to use more than 1, do I need to have a separate account for each name, or do the minutes purchased apply to my email address, not to the skype name?

    Hi, sunandfun7, and welcome to the Community!
    Each Skype name is a different account, so anything purchased by that account can be used only for or on that account.  In other words, purchases are tied to a specific Skype account, not to an e-mail address.
    Kind regards,

  • Firefox will not save my user name and password for one of my sites. How can I fix this problem. It is getting annoying having to reenter every time I check this site. Is there a solution.

    I had my user name and password saved for my library site. My grandson hit something and now the saved user name and password are gone. It asks me every time to enter it and it is getting annoying. How do I fix this. I want Firefox to remember these codes.

    You can create a bookmark with the JavaScript code via a right-click on the "Remember Password" link on the squarefree.com website and choose "Bookmark This Link" and select the "Bookmarks Toolbar" as the destination folder for easy access.
    * https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password
    You need to use the "Remember Password" bookmarklet before or after filling the name and password field on the website with the <u>login form</u>, but before submitting the login form by clicking a button on the web page.
    If the site is using autocomplete="off" then you see a number not equal to 0 (i.e. attributes were removed) in the pop-up alert from the bookmarklet and Firefox should offer to remember the name and password via a drop down dialog of the key icon that will appear on the location bar (Firefox 4+) or via an info bar at the top (Firefox 3).

  • When I try installing Firefox 6.0 from the binary file, a box with "Run As" in the type field appears, which asks me for user name and password. Please advise about the course of action that I should take.

    Trying to run it as the current user, or as one from a different account(administrator in this case) also doesn't work.

    I think the client is not able to do a HTTP POST
    to the WLS server but it can do a HTTP GET.
    I dont know why.

    Hi,
    I deployed a rpc web service using WLS 7.0 SP2 in HP-UX 11 environment.When I
    invoke the web service through my browser (IE 6.0) using the web servicesurl,
    it brings my service method correctly. From there, if I click the invokebutton
    it asks me for a network user name and password under "weblogic" realm???If I
    provide the admin user credentials (which I supplied while creating mydomain)
    it is not accepting that it keeps popping up this network user passwordwindow
    over and over. Not sure which username/password I have to provide here tosee
    the result of my service.
    If I try to invoke the web service through my client (static) I am gettinga connection
    refused exception. I guess either way, I am not able to access my webservice.
    In the attached file, I have cut and pasted the client stack trace as wellas
    the server log trace from weblogic.
    Any ideas would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ganesh

  • "Enter your name and password to update the RSS feed"

    I keep getting a pop-up from Safari (even when it's in the background) that says:
    +*Enter your name and password to update the RSS feed*+
    How on earth do I disable this? It is asking for a username and password for Twitter so I must have clicked an RSS feed link there, but after searching like mad, I can't figure out where Safari looks for RSS at on my system.

    Same here,
    It says:
    <<Enter your name and password to update the RSS feed.
    To update teh RSS feed "Gmail - Inbox for [email protected]", you need to log in to the area "New mail feed" on mail.google.com. Your password will be sent in clear text.
    Name: (blank field)
    Password: (blank field)
    O Remember this password in my keychain. >>
    This started occurring immediately after updating to safari 4.
    I tried disabling the automatic RSS updates in safari preferences, set it to "never" as suggested, but the annoying window keeps on popping up.
    So the original question is still not answered for me.
    It seems to me that all people reporting this problem are OSX Tiger (10.4.11) users

    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here are the steps that will walk you through changing an admin account password using another admin account.
    Resetting a user's password using an administrator account
    Important: Passwords for administrator accounts should not be blank.
    Log in with an administrator account. Tip: If you don't know the password of any administrator accounts, see "Resetting the original administrator account password" below.
    From the Apple menu choose System Preferences.
    From the View menu choose Users & Groups.
    Click the lock button if it appears locked; enter the administrator password.
    Select the name of the user whose password you want to change.
    Click the Reset Password button or the Change Password button.
    Enter a new password in both the New Password and Verify fields, and add a Password Hint if desired.
