Why doesn't safari 5 always fill in username and password?

Why is it that Safari sometimes remembers my user name, sometimes the username and password, and more often not at all. Often I go to a web site and have to fill in the information over and over. How can I make safari remember and fill in all this?

Hi,
From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab.
Select the box next to: *User names and passwords*
Your passwords are actually stored in Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities)
When you login to a site, after selecting that box, after you enter your user name and password, you should be prompted to save that information, click Yes. That will create a new keychain for you.
Keep in mind, some banking and investment sites do not allow the "autofill" feature to do security.

My iPad 2 is always saying my username and password are incorrect.

My iPad 2 is always saying my username and password on my gmail account are incorrect. I have to go into settings and re-enter it all the time and it works fine and I clear my email. How do you set it so it's not constantly saying it's incorrect. Please help.

Delete your mail account and create a new one.
Sometime it's because the server is busy or down.

Firefox 7.0.1 does not remember/fill in username and password in Mac version although on Windows it works, so it's not the website preventing password being saved. what is up and how can this be fixed ?

There are several sites where I now have to type in my username and password each time I return, such as turnitin.com. (I'm a teacher and use this for grading). Friefox used to be able to remember this for that site and it still works at my office where I have a windows machine. Not working on my Mac OS 10.6.8 and it is really annoying to have to retype every single time; it's not a financial site or anything so why can't the Firefox browser remember and re enter my info?
And no, turnitin does not currently support Firefox 7 but it is only up to firefox 4 and up until now firefox at least worked to remember passwords.
I looked at http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Username%20and%20password%20not%20remembered and I have checked all the recommended browser settings and am not set to private browsing; the sites where this happens are not set in exceptions to remembering, and they are not set to be cleared automatically
So, what's up and why doesn't Firefox remember passwords and usernames any longer?

Now up to Firefox 8 and the problem persists. Cannot go to the www.turnitin.com page and login as I used to do -- Firefox does not remember my username or password.
Still works on Windows, and with other browsers... It would be great if a fix is available.

Safari will not clear my username and passwords it has saved

I am trying to get Safari to clear saved usernames and passwords from the saved list and it refuses to do so. I've done everything from go into settings and click edit on the usernames and passwords and click remove and even remove all and nothing happens. I've also clicked on file and reset safari and my usernames and passwords still aren't deleted. Whatever happens, I do not want to lose my bookmarks though; those are very important to me.
Thanks,
Travis

HI Travis,
In Safari Preferences - Autofill
Make sure: user names and passwords is deselected.
Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left.
Delete all the keychains for the sites you don't want user names and passwords saved for.
Relaunch Safari.

Why do my firewalls only use the domain username and password for login and enable passwords, not a different enable password like my switches do? The RADIUS config looks the same...

/* Style Definitions */
table.MsoNormalTable
{mso-style-name:"Table Normal";
mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;

Issue:
Cisco firewalls require only one level of password i.e. the domain username and password are used for both logging in as well as reaching global configuration mode.
Background:
We have multiple Cisco network devices set up which authenticate to our Windows domain controller using NPS (Windows 2008 R2). The switches we have set up all function exactly as we would hope as they require your domain username and password to login to the device. They then require a separate password when you use the enable command, this is stored in Active Directory:
Switches:
Username:domain-username
Password:domain-password
SWITCH>enable
Password:enable-password-in-Active-Directory
SWITCH#
Firewalls (as they currently are):
Username:domain-username
Password:domain-password
FIREWALL>enable
Password:domain-password
FIREWALL #
With the firewalls however, they require your domain username and password first, and then your domain password again when using the enable command. I want the firewalls to use the enable level password that the switches currently use instead of the domain password again. The current configuration look like the following:
Current switch configuration:
aaa new-model
aaa authentication login default group radius local
aaa authentication enable default group radius enable
aaa authorization exec default group radius local
aaa session-id common
radius-server host 192.168.0.1 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
radius-server source-ports 1645-1646
radius-server key 7 1234abcd
Current firewall configuration:
aaa-server DC01 protocol radius
aaa-server DC01 (outside) host 192.168.0.1
aaa authentication ssh console DC01 LOCAL
aaa authentication enable console DC01 LOCAL
key 1234abcd
Any help would be great, thanks!

Cisco ASA works that way by design. You could remove "aaa authentication enable" and then you could use the "enable password" command to set your enable password.
But if you do that, then ASA would change your username to "enable_15". That would break Authorization and Accounting if you're using them. Let me clarify with an example
Firewalls :
Username:domain-username
Password:domain-password
FIREWALL>show curpriv
Username : domain-username
Current privilege level : 1
Current Mode/s : P_UNPR
FIREWALL>enable
Password:enable-password-from-running-config
FIREWALL #show curpriv
Username : enable_15
Current privilege level : 15
Current Mode/s : P_PRIV
If you're using Authorization and Accounting it's recommended to stick with your current behavior.

TS3408 After I update my website, why doesn't Safari reflect this-even after emptying cache? (Chrome does)

After I update my website, why doesn't Safari reflect this-even after emptying cache? (Chrome does). Any help would be great. I am a web developer and need to reload the page constantly to see changes, I can't have it be that safari takes a day to refelct changes-it used to happen instantly, what has changed?

It probably says more about MySpace than Safari but anyway you could try the latest nightly build of Safari's Webkit web browser engine. I always use this now and find it offers greater all round performance.
Try it and see if it helps.
Just click the big 'Download Nightly builds' button on this page.
http://webkit.org/
In case you don't know, you just run the webkit application instead of Safari but in use it will seem no different than Safari because all you're doing is running an updated version of the rendering engine in Safari. Safari 3.1 remains untouched and you can switch back to that if you wish.

Safari doesn't save my Vodafone username and password

Hello,
In preparation for iCloud Keychain, I am moving all of my logins out of RoboForm and into Safari.
However, Safari doesn't offer to save my username and password for Vodafone.co.uk, which is one of my most frequently visited sites.
I was having the same problem with my PayPal account, but the Lap Cats AutoComplete extension fixed it. Still no luck with Vodafone, though.
The Vodafone login page is here:
https://www.vodafone.co.uk/myvodafone/faces/oracle/webcenter/portalapp/pagehiera rchy/Page1.jspx#%40%3F_adf.ctrl-state%3Dma4he7lca_9.
I do have the preferences set to Autofill usernames and passwords - it does work for most sites - Amazon, Play.com etc.
I have all software updates from Apple so Safari 6.0.5, on Mountain Lion.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

However, Safari doesn't offer to save my username and password for Vodafone.co.uk, which is one of my most frequently visited sites.
First on Safari, go to Safari > Preferences > Passwords
Delete the vodafone website url if you see it there. Don't worry if it's not in the list.
Open Keychain Access located in HD > Applications > Utilties
Select Passwords on the left. Then type vodafone in the search field top right corner of the window.
Delete saved vodafone keychains by control clicking the keychain then click Delete.
Back to Safari. Navigate to the vodafone website. Enter your user name and password as usual. Click Yes when prompted to save your password to a new keychain.
Do the same for any other sites that won't save passwords.

Username and password for Windows doesn't work for Safari

I just installed Safari 3.0.3 for windows under WindowsXP on local machine. But I have problem access local IIS.
Here is what I did:
1. type http://localhost in Safari
2. I get a pop up login window says "To view this page, you need to log in to area localhost on localhost:80",
3. I entered my username and password to Windows, then "Enter"
4. The pop up window comes back, it says "the name and password entered for are localhost on localhost:80 is incorrect."
I don't see this problem in IE or Firefox on the same machine. In Firefox, it pops a similar window ask for username and password, I entered the same username and password to Windows, it works. But in Safari, it doesn't.
I am wondering if anyone knows how to solve this problem. thanks.

Hi,
i've couple of ideas that might help...
1:
just wandering are either of you guys accessing the internet via a proxy server? if so i suspect that Safari is not by bypassing local addresses and hitting the proxy server first.
if this is the case, Safari should respect the same settings that IE does, so try setting IE and/or FF to bypass the proxy for local address/servers - and see if Safari now works...
2:
also, the text box that ask's you for your password, does it say on it somewhere, something like, "password will be sent clear" or "password will be sent encrypted"
i seem to get a similar problem, but with accessing our work ISA server, my localhost is fine btw. Anyway it might be the case the safari is trying to send a clear text password to an encrpyted password request or vica-verca (sp?) - soooo try setting your IIS to accept clear/basic authentation as well at NT Auth/Encrypted
ok, hope that helps, and make sense

Why doesn't the original document I'm dragging and dropping from one folder to another move?

Why doesn't the original document I'm dragging and dropping from one folder to another move?
What's happening is the computer is creating a duplicte of the document and placing it in the new location with a new creation date. The original document I wanted to drag and drop into a new location remains where it started as the "original" document and the new copy has this little arrow protruding up from the lower left of its icon.
At first I thought it was an alias, but it's a copy of the document I thought I was dragging and dropping.
What gives here?
Steve

That arrow indicates it is a linik to the original, though. This happens if you wish to drag files, for which you do not have permissions to do this operation, e.g. from Library or System folder. I am pretty sure you do not accomplish this operation from/to folders like Desktop or Documents; if so, there is a problem with your system.

Email send/receive suddenly doesn't work ; can't change email settings as BB phone won't accept valid username and password -- what to do?

email send/receive suddenly doesn't work (as of September 24th); I can't change email settings (one suggestion from tech) as BB phone won't accept *valid* username and password -- what to do?
I understand from a support note that if I keep trying my password/username combination, my BB will eventually delete all data!
I can't understand this. I'm completely lost now. I can't remember what I've done or tried to do. A plethora of usernames and passwords is swimming in my head.
Thanks for any hints. I have always loved this BB Bold and have never had any trouble with it.

But the real question is why for the past year did the passwords work and then all of the sudden after this anomaly the disk password doesn't work? I'm not 100% sure of what my configuration was, but I know that most of the time it required one password -- supervisor, and occasionally it asked for 2 -- disk password as well I believe. This may have been related to the Password on Restart setting I think -- asking for the disk password on cold vs. warm boot. But I know both were exactly the same. But after this incident only the Supervisor password worked.

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.
