  • When I started with Firefox, I loaded the website for my bank account and answered the question wrong when asked if I wanted Firefox to recognize that password - how can I redo that questions so I do not have to answer security question every time?

    If I could redo my answer to that question for my bank account, it would speed up my online banking experience but I do not know how to do that.

  • Why do I have to answer security questions

    Why do I have to answer security questions? I made this account like 3 years ago and i dont remember the answers

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Why do I have to answer security questions before I download an app

    Recently, I've had to fill out a security questionair every time I Download an app, why does this keep coming up? It used to be I could just use my apple ID, why did this change?

    Apple has beefed up security on the App store, either in response to people reporting unauthroized use or in anticipation of unauthorized use. It's simply a step that's been taken to protect your Apple ID and the credit card/gift card balance attached to it.

  • Why do i have to answer security questions to get an app when i have a 15 dollar gift card entered?

    I want to get my grandson this app called tararria for 5 dollars with the gift card money please help me

    It is to ensure the security of your account.  So someone does not steal your money. 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    -If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com.  Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE:  This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
    -If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address.  Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security.  You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

    Title

    They are there for security e.g. if somebody gets access to your iTunes account then they won't be able to buy content from your account on their own computer without being able to answer to your questions.
    You should be only be asked for their answers on the first purchase on a computer or device.

  • Why do I have to select "continue allowing" every time I visit certain sites in order to be able to type into flash based form fields?

    Why do I have to select "continue allowing" every time I visit certain sites in order to be able to type into flash based form fields?
    See attached image for reference to what button I am referring to. Until i hit the "continue allowing" button I can not type into the form fields. I have tried removing and reinstalling flash. refreshing firefox, and clearing cache and cookies, and deleting the permissions.sqlite file. Nothing has worked. This issue just started happening a few days ago. Please let me know what I might be able to do to fix this.

    That full page including the form is a Flash object.
    I didn't see this doorhanger opening when I tried the URL in a new profile.
    Did you previously created an exception or is the default selected if you check the permissions for the Flash plugin?
    You can inspect and manage the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab:
    *Click the "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
    *Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
    You can go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions)
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
