Since upgrade to iOS4 Safari does not remember passwords

I'm experiencing this too, except not with all web sites. For me it seems to be the WiFi login page on my university campus for which Safari refuses to remember logon info. For other websites it works.

With iPhone OS 3.1.3 it remembered the WiFi login name and password great, now it doesn't and it asks me if I want to remember it each time. Each time I tap Yes and mutter, "yes, dammit!". But it doesn't help.

Having the same problem. Keeps dropping the connection as well which makes this twice as frustrating.

Me too, very annoying. Is this specific to the 3GS with iOS4?

I have the same problem too 😟

I'm on a browser authenticated WiFi network at work. And iOS 4 doesn't remember my passwords at login.

Same here. Most annoying. A reset of all settings doesn't help. A complete restore without restoring an old backup might, but is too much trouble.

Is it all web sites, or just browser-authenticated Wi-Fi login pages? If it's just the latter, could you post a comment on this thread too, in case it's a different issue?

I have the same issue on my iPod touch and it's only with web page authenticated logins for wifi

So are some people really having this issue with regular websites? Anyway, in case, if it's just authentication pages for Wi-Fi, maybe consider adding a note here too, in case it's a distinct issue:

Apple seems to have completely missed browser user/password remember feature all over again. This had happened with iPhone 1.1.4 firmware as well. Hope they correct this issue with iOS 4.0.1 update. Apple discussion forum thread specifically mentions users with iPhone 3G and 3GS are facing this issue. Found this on http://iphoneindia.gyanin.com/2010/07/07/ios-4-0-bug-safari-does-not-remember-pa sswords/

Last time a mod called Fix Safari Cookies via Cydia did the trick - Tired of having to enter your username and password everytime you visit your favourite site? With FixSafariCookie not anymore! This package / utility overwrites your cookies and changes the permissions that safari can actually write and save your cookies.

It seems for some of us this only happens for Wi-Fi authentication web pages. Safari is remembering all my other passwords just fine.

If some people are experiencing the issue for all websites, I wonder what the difference might be?

The problem for me (3GS, iOS4) affects all passwords. In fact, Safari won't even pick up proxy authentication as defined in WiFi settings. Effectively, this makes the browser useless unless I have an open WiFi connection.

Also, I don't think it has anything to do with cookies. Websites that I log into once do remember my status. Safari simply won't save any passwords at all. Big fail.

Tushar

same problem here 😟
also with 4.0.1

Same problem with Safari, which crashes always. The worst is that they didn;t fix it at 4.0.1

Interesting. I have no crashes and I leave the remember passwords setting turned on. It remembers passwords for most sites too, just not WiFi authentication sites.
