browser wiil not hold or seek to remember passwords

After the last Firefox update will no longer seek or remember passwords. I've covered all of the forums for an answer. Tried all what is written there. It really spoils the experience of brousing

Have you checked the setting?
Tools > Options > Security: passwords: "remember passwords for sites".

Make sure that you are not running Firefox mode of private - browsing using Firefox without saving history .
In private browsing mode that some menu items are disabled (in gray) and some features like the visited links and others are disabled and does not.
You're in private browsing mode, if you see "tools > stop private browsing."

  • User accounts does not initially and windows to remember password for account (evil)

    Hello

    Thanks for any help in advance.

    TLDR: Windows trying to connect in user 1 with the old password and does not give me the option to connect user 2

    I'm trying to set up a new account for my roommate to use. It's something I've done many times before and never had a problem with.

    This time, however it is causing me pain.

    First off I created a new user account (user 2) gave him a password and him give a normal user account (not admin). I also changed the password on my account (user 1) which is an administrator account.

    Now when I restarted my computer I expected to go to the login screen and give me two options (user 1 and user 2) that would require a password. I should mention here that before that I created the 2 user I've ever seen the login screen as it starts directly on my desk.

    What is happening at startup, it is just after windows logo I get the message "the password is incorrect" (on the lines in any case).

    When I confirm this message I show the log on screen but it only shows the user accounts 1 and 'others '.

    I can enter the new password for the user 1 at this stage and connect fine, I can also go the "other accounts" and enter credentials user 2 and connect fine but on reboot, I get again the opinion of incorrect password and user 2 is not always displayed on the login screen.

    The incorrect password, he speaks is the old password for user 1, but I'm not enter, it of like windows remembered the old password and trying to enter to connect directly to user 1 with it.

    I tried to do admin user 2 also, but no difference is made.

    If someone has an idea, they would be much appreciated,

    Thank you.

    This happens because someone has configured your machine some time ago to connect automatically. You can adjust the process according to your needs:

    1. press Windows + R key on your keyboard.
    2. Enter the following command and press ENTER:
    netplwiz
    3. check the box that requires users to enter a password.
    4. click on OK.
    5. take note of the process for later use.

  • How options are related: "confidentiality > don't remember history ', ' privacy > settings customized user > permanent private browsing ' and ' security > remember passwords?

    It is said in support of the pages that the option ' Privacy > don't remember history ' is equivalent to private browsing.
    He said also that after you activate private browsing does not store history or passwords.

    So how are related options: "confidentiality > don't remember history ', ' confidentiality > settings customized user > permanent private browsing ' and ' security > remember passwords?

    (1) if I activate "Privacy > don't remember history" fact it also means that the passwords are not stored?

    (2) activate instead
    "Privacy > settings customized user > permanent private browsing."
    This still implies that passwords are not stored?

    3 If 1) or (2) are together, what is the role of the apparently independent option "security > remember passwords?

    I'm sorry but the logic of the user interface is not really clear for me

    Thanks for your help.

    1. Yes. Setting "Firefox will: don't remember history ' prompts you to restart Firefox, after which 'always use private browsing mode' will be checked. The option "Remember passwords for sites" will be disabled and unavailable (grayed out).

    2. Yes. It's the same thing.

    3. as I said, in this case the option "Remember passwords for sites" would be unavailable (grayed out). The rest of the time, this option allows to disable the registration of passwords not in private browsing mode.

  • do not remember passwords

    Since the upgrade to 12 FF Firefox remembered passwords from PREVIOUS sites, but when I update the password on a site that he recalled earlier, it does not ask me with "do you want to update the password for this site" as it was, or it will offer to remember passwords for NEW sites. I have nothing in my list of exceptions, I don't do private browsing.

    I just installed Firefox 12 on a new computer and after the first password, he stopped to remember the other passwords, nor doe he asks me if I want to save them. I'm not in private browsing mode, and the "Remember password" box in the Options is checked.

    I tried to delete the files key3db and signons.sqlite as it is also recommended, but did not help

    Would it be because I installed the add-on lastpass? I removed it, but maybe it caused some persistent damage?

  • Option "Remember passwords for sites" is not save

    Firefox does not save my selected option to remember passwords. After a new installation (6.02) on Windows 7 but import my profile files from another Windows 7 machine (6.02). (The profile saved successfully previous passwords.)

    Under Options > Security, I click "Remember passwords for sites" and close the control panel - but whenever I return to this setting, the option is clicked. This happens within a session open after moving between sites, not just for new sessions. I emptied all exceptions, and 'Continuous browsing history' and 'clear history' is certainly not checked in the history management settings.

    My previous password information is all there and saved in password manager, I am just unable to get Firefox to allow using saved passwords or store my selection to save passwords.

  • Disable the account Web not MS 'Remember password'

    I have a home edition not connected to the network, only the user on Vista Premium PC running.  I accidentally hit "remember password" on a connection to the financial account.  I don't want it remembered and want to always manually enter password.  I can't find answers on this - the financial firm that it is a Windows problem.  All I find are responses on password protection for connecting to a computer or specific programs from Ms.  Any ideas on the granting of this amnesia of account login?

    Hi JBRoberts,

    1. what web browser do you use?

    AutoComplete is a feature in Internet Explorer that remembers the information you typed in the address, web forms, or password fields bar and automatically fills in that information if you start to type the same thing again later. This saves you having to type the same information repeatedly.

    Note: Try the procedure only if you use Internet explorer as your web browser below.

    I suggest that you first delete browsing history and later disable the AutoComplete usernames and passwords on forms

    Delete AutoComplete saved information

    (a) open the Internet Options by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking network and Internet, and then clicking Options Internet.

    (b) click on the general tab, and then, under browsing history, click delete.

    (c) to do one or more of the following:

    1. Select the checkbox data form .

    2. Select the password box.

    (d) click Removeand then click OK.

    After you have deleted all recorded history auto automatic deactivation method below using all onUser names and passwords on forms

    (a) open Internet Explorer, click the Start button. In the search box, and then type Internet Explorerin the list of results, click on Internet Explorer.

    (b) click on the Tools button and then click on Internet Options.

    (c) click on the content tab.

    (d) under AutoComplete, and then click settings.

    (e) delete the usernames and passwords on forms and boxes ask me before saving passwords .

    (f) click OK and then click OK again.

    Fill in website forms and passwords automatically
