Won't remember My Yahoo password - Legally Blind

This 75 year lady has had a "My Yahoo Page" for about 10 years and has used Firefox for about the same. On her old XP she could fire up and automatically go to her My Yahoo page, which she created herself, with a automatic sign in.
She acquired a new Vista and now she can't get past the sign in. When I go to Tools, Options, Security, Saved Passwords I sometimes see the correct site after choosing to have fire fox remember it, but it doesn't remember it or often doesn't ask me to remember. On the Vista it sometimes shows Yahoo after a request to remember" My Yahoo" . Also the amount of information she has to type to sign in varies from one keystroke to all the codes. Also she is often stopped 2 pages short of her "My Yahoo.
Both computers have latest versions of Firefox. Now the XP is acting as in the above. I may have goofed it up.
This is no problem for me but she has to remember where things are on each page. With her magnifying glass she can see no more than one or two words at a time.

I downloaded IOS 6 and now it won't remember names and passwords

I recently downloaded IOS 6 for IPhone 4 and now it won't remember names and passwords for websites I frequently visit. It used to remember prior to the download. Any suggestions?

You could unplug your router than plug it back in. You could turn the iPhone completely off and then back on.

Firefox won't remember username and password on a certain site. I have the option enabled to remember passwords, and the site is not listed in the exceptions. On my home computer, Firefox DOES remember the password for this specific site. Any suggestions?

This happens on my updated Firefox 4.0 and on the previous version from which I updated.

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?

Safari won't remember any keychain passwords

Hi, so for some reason Safari has stopped remembering any of my passwords for websites. Is there a reason for this I just don't know of, or is there a setting somewhere that needs changed. I checked keychain access and tried adding them that way, but that didn't work. Thanks,
Shawn

If you remember the website passwords, you can enter a wrong password, when Safari asks if you want to save it say no, and then enter the correct one, when it asks whether you want to save this one, say yes. If you don't remember the correct passwords, perhaps, if you have one, you can get them from your back-up.

HT1529 Having problem with receiving & sending out e-mail. Imap &Smtp acct failed verify username & password I don't remember my yahoo password

We have too many passwords. Now I am not able to receive or send out e-mails. apparently the connections doctors telling me the IMAP account failed tha I had to verify username & password do not match. I don't remember the password I used as I have changed the password 4 times in the last hour and I am confused. How do I get to the area that I can check the IMAP & the SMTP password. If I changed the Apple ID password would that be the same password. My username is my yahoo address. Now do I go to yahoo.com to change that password? Unfortunately, I have to wait till next Thursday to do a one to one. That is the earliest.
I am really confuse and not good with computers. Please help.

Hi Stan,
I am not sure when this changed, I keep mine saved in the browser because I do not like to login to every site I visit. But on new test devices lately the login for the sumo site has required that I use the user name, not the email. (For you this would be just Tanker or the username that appears inthe profile)

How do I get it to not remember my yahoo password so others can't bring up yahoo & get right into my acct

i'm not savvy on fixing things - i accidently said remember when firefox asked if I wanted it to remember my password - now if someone else uses my computer at work, they can get into my email

My guess is that while you added catetories to your Budget Sheet by adding new lines and filling in the category column, you didn't also add the formulas to these new budget lines.
The proper way to add those lines would have been to select a cell in the line just above where you want to add a line and type Option/Alt-DownArrow. This would have copied the formulas into the new line. Maybe you did this, and maybe not. You didn't give details on how you added the lines.
Select C2 and D2 and Command-C to copy them to the Clipboard.
Select all the cells of Columns C and D except for the top and bottom rows and Command-V to Paste.
If I have properly guessed the problem, you should be in business. This assumes that your Categories are exaclty the same as the entries in your Pop-up menus. Spelling counts, as does case.

IPad won't remember usernames and passwords after iOS 7 upgrade?

Ever since I upgraded I have to re-enter my password and username on all of my sites. They would remember me before. I do not have this problem on my iPhone just my ipad. Any suggestions?

Just login to Amazon, Netflix and other sites in Safari. For each site after I entered the username and password, then after I pressed the "Log In" button, a pop-up message box appears:
                              Save This Password?
                      You can view and remove saved
                       passwords in the Passwords &
                     AutoFill section of Safari settings
                                   Save Password
                              Never for This Website
                                         Not Now
This pop-up message is new after the iOS 7 upgrade that just started to appearing in the last few hours.

Lumina 822 won't remember new wifi password after ...

Phone Information:
Model: NOKIA Lumia 822
Carrier: Verizon Wireless
Software: Windows Phone 8.1 Update
At work, there are wireless access points all over the building. When I arrive in the morning, I am prompted for my enterprise password, and when I move from access point to access point, my phone drops my wireless connection and re-prompts me for my enterprise password even though the SSID is the same. This behavior started happening after I updated my phone from Windows Phone 8.0 to Windows Phone 8.1 AND after I subsquently changed my enterprise password.
It seems to NOT be storing my new password in the wireless connection profile. I have tried deleting the profile and recreating it, but that doesn't seem to fix it.
I do not have this problem at home--and I have multiple routers in my home with the same SSID configured in bridge mode--but then I haven't changed my wireless password at home in years.
I believe there is a bug in this update, but I can't put my finger on it--can someone explain what's going on and when it will be fixed? I'm former Microsoft--I'm wondering if they are experiencing this on campus in Redmond. I'm guessing not. I don't have specifics on what my current employer is running. But my wireless connection is configured for "WPA2 Enterprise EAP Method = PEAP MS-CHAP v2".

Hi, rmckenrick. Have you already tried resetting the phone? Note that files will be deleted, so backup is a must. BTW, any difference if you press and hold both the volume down and the power keys for 10-15 seconds? If that doesn't help, you may use the Windows Phone Recovery Tool to reset or recover the phone's software. Link is intended for the UK, but you can still change it to your local support page. Let us know the outcome.

Safari won't remember usernames or passwords

I recently upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. Now Safari will not save any passwords or usernames.
Any ideas as to what might cause this? Have I missed a setting or something?

My ipod touch 4th gen won't remember passwords

HI everyone,
my ipod touch used to remember passwords, then I had to change some that expired, so I told it to 'forget' passwords, now it won't remember the new ones!
how can I fix that?
thank you

well, that didn't fix it.
it is more frustrating because the right side letters don't type o portrait orietation, and the school logon screen doesn't go to landscape when I turn it, so I have put my passwords and school id in the notepad so I can copy and paste everyday I am at school
new suggestion??

G5 iMac OS 10.4.8 won't remember passwords

My computer won't remember passwords, even though I click the appropriate box. Microsoft Entourage is the program where ethis is most inconvenient. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

You're not alone.
I had to buy a card reader yesterday. This is obviously a 10.4.8 / 6.0.5 issue.

Firefox is suddenly not remembering or filling in any of my passwords. All of the appropriate boxes are checked in the options/security tab, but it won't remember any passwords and shows none saved. How do I get it to remember and fill in my passwords again?

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?
If the latter happens then you have a problem with cookies that are not kept or the file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie that you must allow: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Exceptions"
Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Cookies' and the 'Site Preferences'.
Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working.
You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing".

In spite of having firefox set to remember usernames and passwords it won't, even if i use a master password, still doesn't work. Is this a bug, i'm on 8-0-1

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page. 
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. 
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.

Won't remember my auto log in password for SKY...have to manually insert password every time. all other sites are OK..

whenever I use SKY for my email [ many time a day] - ([email protected]) Firefox won't remember my password (it's in settings - show passwords - so I know its there..) So every time I have to enter it manually - it's becoming a bit of a pain....
All other sites I access using passwords (YouTube / eBay ect) ALL auito log in properly - I've tried deleting from the saved password list and adding again but it still won't auto log in..what's up...???

Try this if you met the same problem
Syndrome:
The wireless network name appeared on the System Preference>Network>Airport>Advanced>Preferred Networks List, but every time when start computer or wake up, a popup window said "None preferred network is available" and ask me to select a new net work, if I select the same network, the password is there. The system keychain can remember the password but System preference cannot remember the Preferred/Joined wireless network.
Reason:
Fix to this problem that strangely centred on the specific location of the “System Preferences.app”, if other than the standard location of the root of the “Applications” folder.
If you have moved the System Preferences application (not alias, actual app) to any other location for any reason, your newly joined preferred network will NOT be properly remembered and will NEVER be properly rejoined.
Solution:
1) Move “System Preferences.app” back to “Applications\”.
2) Delete all instances of “Preferred Networks” in “Network Preferences”.
3) Delete all “Airport network password” instances in “Keychain Access”.
4) Restart your Mac.
5) Add/Join applicable preferred network using the Airport pulldown menu or in Network Preferences (as if for the first time). Use “Advanced” in “Network Preferences” to confirm the existence of your preferred network and the correct settings. Use “Keychain Access” to confirm the existence of the applicable “Airport network password” instance and the correct settings.
6) Restart your Mac. The OS should now find your preferred network and join it on its own. Good Luck!
NOTE: Simply moving back System Preferences will NOT suffice. Deleting and re-adding/joining the preferred network is a must after the app has been moved.

Won't remember ONE password

Firefox remembers almost all passwords but ONE only it refuses to remember or rather does not give me the option of remembering. It is for a gmail account and should not give a problem. The only possible reason that I can think of is that I put in the wrong password many times after changing my email address. Could this account for it? Suggestions?
Tony

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?
There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page to log you in automatically. 
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. 
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you anymore and you need to sign in once again.

You can remove all stored data from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry (Show All History or History sidebar).
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove everything like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions from that domain, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
You can't recover from that "forget" unless you have a backup of the affected files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
