The password saving issue

If Apple wants Safari to be able to compete against other browsers such as Firefox, they also need to work on the password saving thing. Safari does indeed save usernames and passwords but it seems to me it only does that with one username/password per website. What if I've got two usernames/passwords? Right, next time I visit a website it uses the most recent login that was used. And the other one? Gone! Gone forever, or maybe just until 3.0.5. ?

i received an email from apple this morning telling me that the password problem is already a known bug and is being investigated by engineering. so, might be a feature in an upcoming version!

    Open Keychain Access located in your Applications > Utilities folder.
    Select Passwords on the left.
    Type Facebook in the search field on the right then right or control click the Facebook keychain then click: Get Inf then select the Attributes tab.

  • The password saving feature, looses passwords. I've lost 3 so far, the websites are gone when I go into the options to

    I go to sites that I have gone to in the past week and I don't get the name password insert that FF use to do, their screen is the same , I go into the options and look for the site and it's gone.

    Did you ever use "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of a history item?

    I will repeat a post I have just made:

    Sorry to hear of your problems and hope reading the other posts helps you with what may well be a very similar problem.

  • Powerpivot data connection will not save the password

    I'm trying to create a Powerpivot workbook with data that users can refresh themselves before analysis.  We don't have Powerpivot data refresh in Sharepoint active, so I can't make use of that service.
    When I create a Powerpivot data connection to SQL server using SQL Server Authentication (unchanging read-only username and password), and checking the box to save the password, the connection works fine for refreshing the data as long as I leave the workbook
    open.
    If I close the file and re-open it, the password is gone from the data connection and the user cannot refresh the data.
    I've tried configuring the data connection with the SQL native client provider and the SQL OLEDB provider and I see exactly the same results.
    The connection string gets built with Persist Security Info=True and the Password shows up as hidden text (dots).  It stays this way through refreshes as long as the workbook is open.  However, once I close the file and re-open it, the
    connection string no longer has the Password parameter listed at all, not even as hidden text.  Persist Security Info is still there and set to True.  As might be expected, the connection string does not have the information needed to access the
    SQL Server instance.
    This type of connection string using SQL Server Authentication still works fine with the password saved when used directly as an Excel data connection, or when used as a data source in Reporting Services.  It's only Powerpivot where the password gets
    blown away.
    Is there a workaround for this issue?

    Thanks Jaynet.
    Unfortunately, the procedure described in the link you provided does not work for PowerPivot, at least in Excel 2010.
    If I create the PowerPivot data connection using "From Database/From SQL Server" there is no option to "Allow saving password".  There is only the checkbox to "Save my password".  There is an "Advanced" button that allows you to set many additional
    properties of the data connection, but there is nothing like allow saving password.
    If I create the PowerPivot data connection using "From Other Sources/Others (OLEDB/ODBC)" and then click the "Build" button, I get a dialog that is pretty close to the one in your link.  For the Provider tab, I can choose either the Microsoft OLE DB
    Provider for SQL Server or the SQL Server Native Client 10.0.  In the connection tab I do have the "Allow saving password" checkbox.  I check this and complete the rest of the data connection configuration.  After I save the file with this data
    connection and then re-open it, the data will not refresh.  If I edit the existing connection from the PowerPivot design tab, the Password parameter is completely missing from the connection string.  If I go back into the connection string builder,
    there is nothing in the password field (not even dots) and allow saving password is no longer checked.
    I've even tried creating my own connection string in Notepad and pasting it into the connection string box (definitely including Persist Security Info=True).  This does not work either and PowerPivot erases the entire Password parameter just the same
    as if I had used the builder and checked Allow saving password.
    I'm beginning to think that the previous poster, David Hager, has it right.  This may be a bug introduced with the latest version of PowerPivot.  If there is no workaround, it is a total pain for me.

  • Password inconsistancy issue with RFC users in ECC 6.0 System after upgrade

    Hi,
    We have upgraded the system from 4.7 to ECC 6.0, but facing the password inconsistancy problem for RFC users. We have set the parameters like "login/min_password_lng" as "8" and "login/password_downwards_compatibility" as "3" & RFC user Type is "system". Could you please suggest how to resolve the password inconsistancy issue.

    Hi Chandan,
    you need to run the txn. SECSTORE and there it will shows you all the RFCs that have inconsistent passwords. Please maintain the correct passwords there.
    In case the existing passwords are no longer acceptable due to new security policies as per the new SAP version, you will have to change the password from SU01.
    Regards,
    Shitij

  • Numbers saving issue

    This message pops up about every 10 minutes. Can you tell me how to correct the issue?
    I'm running a MacBook Pro v 10.9.2 and Numbers v 3.2.
    The Numbers spreadsheet is on my local hard drive and no one else is using it.

    This Numbers document has always been in my Documents folder. But I copied it to my Desktop, then moved it back and I have the same "Saveing Issue" as shown above. It is really hard to believe that anyone using Numbers does not have this problem.

  • Aurora updated to 35.0a2 (x86 en-US) and I lost all the passwords in Save Password Editor

    The computer is used for my office and Mozilla was set to automatically update. Prior to the update earlier today, I looked into Save Password Editor 2.8.1. Later, after Aurora updated to 35.0a2, the add on (Save Password Editor) did not exist. I downloaded the add-on again and it is empty (as I thought it would be). Can I still access the passwords? They are on a computer that was used by my now deceased business partner. I was going to restore the computer to a previous date (earlier than today) but this computer was not set up for a system restore. Any help to either revert to an earlier Aurora edition or to access the passwords would be greatly appreciated!!

    You need to recover the logins.json (or possibly signons.sqlite) and key3.db files to restore the passwords.
    *C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
    The "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and later Window 7+ versions and the "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K are hidden folders.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Firefox 32 and later builds store the passwords in the logins.json file in the profile folder and no longer use the signons.sqlite file that has been used before (the matching key3.db file is still needed).
    If you still have the signons.sqlite file used in previous Firefox versions then you can try to force Firefox to migrate the passwords saved in that file (you will lose passwords saved in Firefox 32+ versions).
    You can force Firefox to reimport the passwords from the signons.sqlite file and rebuild the logins.json file with these steps:
    * reset the <b>signon.importedFromSqlite</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to the default value via the right-click context menu
    * delete the <b>logins.json</b> file in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed
    When you restart Firefox then you should have the signon.importedFromSqlite pref with the value set to true and you should have the passwords imported in the Password Manager unless there may have been errors.

  • Where are passwords saved?

    I previously clicked "remember my password", but now I need
    the password dialog to come up. Where is the password saved? If I
    can find it and delete it, hopefully the dialog will reappear

    Windows? Try looking in the registry settings: Software >

  • I want to open Twitter, but after I type the password, it doesn't open, but the message for saving PW does appear... can you help me?

    I'm using FF on another computer, and pages that I have used in the original have opened, except for Twitter. I give the PW and the message for saving the password appears, but Twitter's HP page doesn't open, instead the registration page is the one that does... I have tried with another system and the page opens, so I know the problem isn't Twitter's, but FF's... can you help me? I want to open Twitter here...

  • HT4314 I have tried to log into clash of clans on my iPad and it just keeps going to a new game rather than the one saved on my iPhone. I have been using the game centre and same user name and password ?

    I have tried to log into clash of clans on my iPad and it just keeps going to a new game rather than the one saved on my iPhone. I have been using the game centre and same user name and password ?

    I have the same problem.. EXACTLY. .  When phoning Apple Support they had trouble understanding my problem and couldnt find any type of solution. No one seems to take responsibility for GameCenter issues. The assistant escalated the problem but no one could find an answer. .
    The only idea was to set up a new apple id, hence a new GameCenter account. . But that would loose all the itunes data. Anyone got ideas ?

  • What can cause "Would you like to update the saved password?" When there is no password saved?

    Lately, I am seeing this prompt for "Would you like to update the saved password?" when I log into password protected sites, where there is actually no saved password. Like the Bank of America site, I don't want the browser to save the password. What would cause this? I can just envision me clicking YES to update the saved password, then I have just somehow sent my password to hackers. Is this a known issue, or am i looking at a possible security breach here?

    Firefox shows this notification if you use the Password Manager to fill the name and password and you change/modify the password that was previously saved. This can also happen if there is a script running that modifies the password field.
    You may disable the remember password incase it's needed by doing the foll:
    Tools-> Options -> Security -> Uncheck remember passwords for site.

  • HT201363 I am receiving an authentication request at launch on my desktop. I am unable to satisfy the password and then it freezes. Uninstalled and re-installed yesterday and have same issue. I think it is a podcast feed, but cannot delete

    I am locked out of my Itunes. When I launch on the desktop I receive an authentication request from www.podshow.com that I cannot satisfy with password. Actually i don't ever remember giving them a password. When I cannot satisfy the password it locks up my screen. When I went to the website listed I could not satisfy the password to even get onto the site. I am pretty sure it is a feed, how can I delete it and get back into my itunes? I uninstalled and re-installed yesterday- same issue

  • A friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue. How to register the phone with Apple?

    A computer illiterate friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as his yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue as the Apple server identifies the hardware as registered. How to register the phone with Apple?
    I helped him create a new email address and new iCloud account on my Mac but when we try to register the phone with Apple it says: Maximim accounts limit reached for this device. How can he register the phone? I read different threads and found out that only Apple care can do that. We're in Romania and don't know where to call. Any suggestions on how we fix this?

    When I checked the support site for Romania, you apparently don't have an Apple Care contact center.  You "may" try calling the US Apple care number to verify the account and have the password reset sent to a different email address.  800-694-7466
