Suddenly Safari not remembering passwords

Suddenly, it seems have to enter passwords for lots of sites which did not have to before? any idea why this is?

Hi Kevin,
From other unrelated posts (eg problems with spell checker), and now this, there seems to be a deterioration in OS X functionality and stability in your computer system. Sometimes, these things start to cascade, affecting other unrelated aspects of the OS.
From previous posts, I know you have been reluctant to reinstall the OS (I very much understand that feeling of "reluctance" having gone through it myself), however, this situation may be another indicator of having to go down that road.

  • Safari not remembering passwords.

    I recently reinstalled Safari. Now that I have reinstalled it, it is not remembering my passwords. I have had to enter my password every time I login to, for example, MySpace. Before, it would have my password already entered and all I would have to do would be to press login.
    I have gone to Preferences > Autofill and made sure that it was supposed to be remembering passwords.
    Help!

    Go to Edit then click Preferences than go to AutoFill and then make sure you check were it says User names & Passwords.

  • Ipad4 iOS 8 Safari not remembering passwords. Chrome is ok.

    HI
    after the the upgrade to iOS 8 my iPad 4 Safari no longer remembers passwords and settings for webpages.
    I have checked the settings for cookies and they are ok. Also Chrome works fine.
    I reinstalled the iOS but no change.
    I Checked for which cookies is saved in the controlpanel settings for Safari, at there appears to be lots of them, so apparently it just doesn't look at them afterwards.
    any ideas?

    Hi,
      Too late to reply you :-(.
      Yes, install the Chrome browser and access the PDF link. Our users are not happy with the Chrome idea because they were used to Safari all along. To be frank Chrome browser is performing well these days. We are evaluating and trying to implement HTML5 based solution from Mozilla PDF.js. It is a waste of time and resource due to this small silly, frustrating issue.
      No idea when does this get resolved because there are no other solid solution that runs PDF within the browser. More over, IOS Safari does not allows to configure or install other PDF reader plugins to run as part of the browser otherwise alternatives like Adobe reader could be used.

  • Is there a way that safari can remember passwords?  I'm pretty uncool so I will need real simple instructions, please

    I can't seem to get safari to remember passwords.  I'm not too cool so I need some pretty basic help.  Thanks

    From your Safari menu bar (top of your screen) click Safari then from the drop down menu click Preferences.
    Select the Autofill tab.
    Make sure User names and passwords is selected.
    If you are having problems with specific sites where Safari won't "remember" a password, open the Keychain Access app.
    That's located in /Applications/Utilities
    Select Passwords on the left. Type in the name of the website where Safari isn't storing the password then right or control click that keychain then click Delete.
    Go back to Safari, go to the website, login with your user name and password. You should be prompted to save that data to a new keychain. Click Yes.
    Also, your profile indicates you are running v10.5.7. If that is correct, you need to update your system software including Safari.
    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click:  Software Update...
    Restart your Mac after the updates are installed.

    Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
    * Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.

    * In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.

  • Firefox 8.0 remembering username even though I've set it to not remember passwords. What do I do?

    I downloaded the new version of Firefox. I had the old version set to not remember passwords. The old version also deleted the username, which is what I wanted it to do. On the new version, I've set it to not remember passwords, but now usernames are showing up on my websites. How do I fix this?

    *Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
    *Highlight an entry in the drop down list
    *Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

  • Firefox will not remember passwords even tho the box is checked and there are no exceptions listed. The little bar asking to save passwords doesn't even come up.

    After an online session, Firefox (6.0.1) crashed and a crash report was sent. After that, Firefox would not start and the crash window kept coming up. I uninstalled it and did a new install. It works fine now except it will not remember passwords even tho the box to save is checked and there are no exceptions listed. The bar asking to save does not come up.

    Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    * To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    * Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    I have been locked from my itunes account as I could not remember password and it is on an email address we no longer have.  I also cannot remember the security questions.  How do I retrieve all this?  Help!  Note that I am doing this query through a work-related apple id.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

    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?<br />
    There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page.<br />
    The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.<br />
    If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you and you need to sign in once again.<br />

  • Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a pasword in the view password window and now it not asking me to remember and also it is not remembering the password when I go

    Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a password for a site that was not remembering the correct password for the "view password" window and now it does not guess the password and does not remember the password for that site. All other sites are being remembered.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After I deleted the password from the view password window.

    The saved password feature worked well, but the site I had saved the password for required that I change the password. I have found no way to update the password in Firefox. After I deleted the saved password, Firefox did not ask if I wanted the new password saved. When this happened before, I removed and re-installed Firefox, and then it worked. I hope there is another way to update a password.

  • Safari not remembering username and password

    Hello, I have my settings set so that Safari remembers my username and passwords to make logins faster. One site I use for school has had my username and password saved since I first started using it. But all of a sudden, it's not remembering my information anymore. When I go onto the site, it doesn't automatically fill in everything like it used to. And the only way I know how to add usernames and passwords to Safaris list is when it prompts you to when on a new site. How can I "re save" my username and pasword? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    You might be able to fix it by deleting the saved password from your keychain in the Keychain Access application. Search for it by the domain name of the site.

  • Since upgrade to iOS4 Safari does not remember passwords

    Since I've updated my 3GS to iOS4 via ITunes, Mobile Safari keeps asking to save username and passwords, even if I've visited the site before and said "Yes" to save username and password, at the next visit, Safari doesn't remember and I have to enter the details again.
    I've already cleared Cache, History and Cookies, turned off and on the auto-fill option, but the problem persists.
    Anyone got an idea ?

    Apple seems to have completely missed browser user/password remember feature all over again. This had happened with iPhone 1.1.4 firmware as well. Hope they correct this issue with iOS 4.0.1 update. Apple discussion forum thread specifically mentions users with iPhone 3G and 3GS are facing this issue. Found this on http://iphoneindia.gyanin.com/2010/07/07/ios-4-0-bug-safari-does-not-remember-pa sswords/
    Last time a mod called Fix Safari Cookies via Cydia did the trick - Tired of having to enter your username and password everytime you visit your favourite site? With FixSafariCookie not anymore! This package / utility overwrites your cookies and changes the permissions that safari can actually write and save your cookies.
