My Mac keeps "forgetting" passwords

Why my Mac under 10.10.5 "forget passwords?

It will keep them for a while then all of a sudden, I get a connection error that it is the wrong password or he fills a stored password and leaves empty?

What has happened several times and it is now becoming a royal pain.

"El Capitan" offers a better password management?

I used the Yosemite and El Cap since it was released and have never had any problems - that said - have you tried troubleshooting keychain?
You can also consider using an application like 1Password

  • Apple TV keeps forgetting password wifi

    Hi all

    I bought a 4th gen Apple TV for my living room, and I it was perfect, no problem. I got another one for another room and I had no end of trouble with it.

    It is closer to the router as my other ATV but it keeps down the wifi connection and sometimes it comes randomly "forgets" the wifi password, and I have to enter it again. On one occasion, he refused to accept the password on the attempts of a lot, a lot, so I did a thorough cleaning and a reinstallation of TVOS. It was OK for a couple of uses but has now begun to drop out of school and forget the wifi connection.

    When he's not working, it shows 5 bars on the signal strength and my iPad works perfectly on a full, sitting next to signal. It's very, very annoying.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you!

    Implement the resolution of the basic problems and share the locations of those present of the ATV.  If the problem is a problem in the living room and lounge we work in the room of the problem, return the problem immediately for a replacement unit.  If the problem the appliance becomes very well in its new spot and ideal becomes a problem in the new spot, exclude from the ATV and focus on the network.

  • Why my PC keep forgetting passwords network and lies on the use of the correct connection to the NAS?

    My PC Windows 7 has acted weird lately because whenever I login to Windows and try to access my NAS drive or laptop, he asks the user name and password, even though I chose to remember it.

    The bit about the lie in question is on the NAS drive.

    The NAS drive is an Apple TimeCapsule (shock, I know), but it still works as a NAS device perfect. When I try to open it, it asks username and password as usual, but when I type in it properly, it appears saying that it is incorrect.
    The way I managed to get that player is now of type a random fake user and try to connect, for example comments. It says that I can not log in as a guest so I then type the correct user name and password after and it works...

    If for any reason any Windows is lying to me about the use of the wrong username and password. Also, I tried it on another PC and it works fine so it only affects this PC.

    Someone at - it solutions?

    Hi themichaelkc,

    I suggest you open the credentials manager and see if your saved credentials are correct.

    In addition, remove the passwords stored in the vault and re - enter the user name and password for automatic logon.

    See the following article for more information on the storage of passwords, certificates, and other credentials for automatic logon:.

  • Stop asking save passwords for NEW sites, still keep filling passwords for sites ALREADY SAVED

    So here's my problem. I have a handful of site where I leave FF save/fill in my password and user name information. For these sites, I WANT FF for save and continue to fill my login information. However, I do not want FF to save my credentials for ANY OTHER SITE.

    Now while I have my login information stored in FF for these websites, if I disable "Remember passwords for sites" in Security Options, FF continues to fill my login information for these sites (despite the fact that it has always recorded info). Once I re - check this option, FF starts to fill in my password again.

    AFAIK, disabling of "do not forget passwords for sites" is the only way to get FF to stop asking me if I want to have save my password, but if I do that it will also stop filling the passwords that I've saved.

    So, is there a way either:
    (A) have "Passwords sites Remember" disabled, but that FF inserts passwords I already saved it, or
    (B) have 'passwords to Remember sites"enabled, but STOP asking me to save passwords for all new Web sites?

    I want to ONLY FF to register AND fill the passwords that I've saved. I don't want to be prompted to save passwords for all new sites either.

    Is this possible? Maybe an add-on or about: config setting I could change?

    Thanks in advance!

    In the password prompt to remember:
    2nd bulleted item - this choice is offered
    "To say don't remember usernames and passwords for the current site of Firefox, click the menu drop down and select never save password for this Site." In the future, when you log on the website you will not be invited to record the user name and password. »

  • Mac keeps asking for password iCloud

    My Mac ask again me my password to iCloud. I am not aware of having put in place. It does not accept my apple account password. When I connect to the web page to manage apple id, I don't see anything about passwords specific app and I can't work out what to do when I have a couple of times and a dialog box appears asking me to create a specific app password, but the link takes me to a page of apple with a big announcement about , but nothing about passwords. I consider myself as technically very competent, but this has me completely stumped!

    Can anyone help please.

    TIA

    Charles

    A specific App password is used for applications like FaceTime and Messages When you use the two-step verification.

    It is really not very intuitive, but you want to go to manage your Apple ID page, then click on modify in the Security section. This will take you to a more detailed page with a section to create a specific App password. Click on generate the password, then you should be able to copy and paste this password into the password box in the Panel in the iCloud window that appeared.

    You want to also keep a note of this password, so you can use it again if necessary, however, you can also always revoke and create a new if need be.

    See you soon,.

  • Why Windows 7 keep forgetting that I deleted the resurrection and my new WiFi password?

    I just changed my internet provider and they gave us a new WiFi router.

    I tell my Windows 7 computer to connect to the new network and do not forget the password for it, I also deleted the old network.
    Now I am pulling my hair because for some reason any Windows decides to forget that I told it to remember the password, and after having restarted my computer, I have to connect and manually enter the password again. Moreover, the former network that I deleted keeps reappearing! I tried implementing a new network manually through "Set up a connection" but it does not work.
    I will do this every time I start the crazy machine. Can anyone help?

    Hello, I have just reinstalled my wireless card drivers and it seems to work now.

    Thanks for your help.
  • El Capitan forget password WiFi

    I own a MacBook Pro 13 "retina early 2015 3.1 GHz i7 16 GB RAM running El Capitan 10.11.5 (currently the latest version).

    The problem is that whenever I re - attach a known WiFi system forgets the password and asks me to re - enter manually.

    Here is a more intriguing symptom: the issue is not with * every * known network. Just with those that I joined after initially, I transferred my data on this laptop from my Mac earlier, a MacBook Air mid-2012 Mavericks running. Those that were already stored on my previous mac work seamlessly.

    "Networks do not forget that this computer has joined" are checked, and I can verify that the new networks are indeed remembered. Passwords are not well.

    I tried a few non-destructive solutions, I found on these forums of discussion, such as checking the permissions of various files/Liberti/Preferences/SystemConfiguration .plist (all are root.wheel 644 and last modified dates of some files are right now, so I know that the system can write to these files) and delete and reset some of the stored WiFi networks. But no solution has worked so far. I'm not ready to delete the completely SystemConfiguration folder and the system of re - create from scratch, because my "WiFi" database now includes more than 100 WiFis that I use from time to time, so I don't want to go to the hassle of re - initialize them all again. I am willing to reset the PRAM or re-install the operating system.

    I've read dozens of similar complaints, but none match my specific situation. I suspect a file that somewhere may have incorrect permissions, with these permissions are poorly defined by the migration program, but it's just a theory.

    Finally, I used so far each MacOSX version and El Capitan is the first one who behaves in this way.

    By/Liberti/Preferences/SystemConfiguration, I meant/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration (automatic correctors, ha!)

    Hi there RWGFromMiss,

    I thank very you much for getting back to me. I would say at this time call your Internet provider to inform them on the issue of host name, that you are experiencing. Also, I suggest making sure that they check the router settings to make sure they are OK work with the printer. The parameters are listed below.

    Password and network name must have no space or punctuation
    If you are using WPA2 security, WPA Personal mode
    Double b/g/n wireless streaming (printer connect only to g.)
    MAC filtering should be disabled
    Firewall settings must be in there by default, settings or the value of lower security
    Multicast 'on '.

  • iOS10 WiFi keep forgetting about the hidden network

    I am on iPhone 5 iOS version 10.0.1 on the T-Mobile network. In my workplace, we have hidden wifi network. It was working fine. But after my upgrade to iOS 10, the continuous phone to forget the network hidden whenever it goes to another network wifi (for example at home). Other colleagues who has iPhone 6 or 6 s has any problems. Any help is appreciated.

    Hello prasenjit.oracle,

    From your post, I see that your iPhone is not able to re - connect automatically to a hidden wireless network after you connect to another network as your home Wi-Fi. I know it's a practical function, so I can see why you would be tender hand to help solve this problem. I'm happy to provide advice!

    As a first step, I would recommend that you restart your iPhone before you test the issue again. If the problem persists, I would recommend that you reset the network settings. To do this, go to settings > general > reset > reset network settings. This also resets the Wi - Fi networks and passwords, cell parameters and VPN and APN settings you used before.

    See you soon!
