Q: Why safari won't ask to save certain user/password?
Hello, I am new to Macs and this forums.
I'm having a small problem with safari is not asking me to save the username and password for certain sites, why is that? I understand that paypal has the "autocomplete=off" but I was able to edit the webcore, so now PayPal is saved. Yes I know that this might be dangerous but my computer never leaves my house.
so its *not asking* for:
MacRumors.com
Hotfile.com
MacUpdate.com
BilletService.no
and *it is asking/saving* for:
PayPal.com
Fileserve.com
drupal.org
deviantart.com
flickr.com (yahoo)
eBay.com
facebook.com
Google.com
etc..
why could this be?

That's a shame to purchase a third party password utility, but give it a try. Make sure and always check for updates for 1Password. It's up to the developer of the software to update their software when Apple updates Safari.
*Try this first before you try* 1Password. Repair permissions in your admin account.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done.
If you see any warnings re: SUID messages, they can be safely ignored, information here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
Restart your Mac. See if that makes a difference.
Thank you for the stars
