  • Remember User Name and Password

    Posted by John on July 17, 2018 at 4:49 pm

    Before the major redo of this site months(years?) ago, when I visited the page, my username and password were already there and all I had to do was click to log in. Ever since, I have to type in both my user name and password. I think there was some discussion about this back at the time.

    I use a Mac, latest hardware and software, Safari web browser.

    It is not a big deal, but it is a hassle. I log into scores of website, and this is the only one that does not work with Safari’s built in Keychain or One Password.

    This seems like the ultimate First World Problem, but does anyone have any advise?

    John,

    Safari won’t hold the username or password, use Chrome or Firefox, that’s what I do and I’m using all Apple devices. This is a problem with many websites and Safari. I can’t tell you why, it’s way beyond my pay grade.

    Tom: I often use my iPhone to access PC Forum. I have to key in my full user name and password. Am I doing something wrong? Need to do something special for the iPhone browser to hold my credentials.

    That’s what I just said Dick, Safari is the problem. Switch to Chrome or Firefox on your phone and it will retain your username and password.

    I hate to admit it … but it took me a while to figure out the user name/password won’t auto fill in the Safari/Chrome competition. I’d seen it posted a few times and didn’t quite grasp what was being said. It actually took me a while to fully understand what Safari was.

    I bought an iPhone when my aged flip phone broke into two halves. I pretty much like it, put all 290 of my music CDs onto it and then lost all the music files , and downloaded a few apps.

    I was naive enough to think I was stuck with the browser that came with the iPhone. Finally after seeing Tom tell us for the umpteenth time to use CHROME … I went to the AppStore and downloaded Google Chrome to the iPhone.

    Tom was 100% right!!!!!!! Not only do my login credentials “stick” for the Prevost Community forum … they stick for all the other logins that weren’t sticking in Safari!

    Thanks Tom!!!!!!
