I inadvertently selected Never for this website in safari when asked to remember password and login on my iPad2. Is there any way to reset to allow the login info to be stored?
iPad 2
OS 4.3.1
iPad 2, iOS 4.3.1
The only way I found is to clear cookies associated with that web site. Of course the only option on iPad Safari is to clear all cookies.
I tried that in conjunction with clear all under autofill with no success.
Hi,
In case you didn't try this... tap Settings / Safari. Clear the History, Cookies, and Cache.
Restart your iPad.
Carolyn 🙂
Tried that too. No luck.
Yep I have the same issue.
Accidently press the "never for this site" and i now can't seem to find a way to reset it.
I have tired re-setting just about everrything. and the site won't prompt prompt me to save passwords any longer.
Surely there has to be a way to reset this anoying setting. so that Ipad Safari will remember my paswords for that site again.
thanks.
I am in exactly the same position. I have tried resetting, clearing and restarting absolutely everything and still this one website will NOT ask me if I'd like to save the username and password. I have tried turning off Autofill and restarting Safari and then switching Autofill on again - no joy.
Come on Apple, you must have a solution to this for the ipad? How can I edit the cookies for this website?
You're not addressing Apple here. Better to send your complaints/suggestions directly to Apple:
Indeed. A rhetorical plea perhaps! Driven out of frustration at this ridiculous problem! Does anyone have any suggestions?
I feel relieved to read you, finally.
I've got exactly the same problem, and did absolutely everything which same to my mind like tnman2 and SnaxMilly.
Still have to retype name and password several times a day 😠
Edit: ...though on iPad, not iPad2
Same issue. Dumped all safari support, caches and prefs files and folders. Even got a new safari. Now it saves some logins only. Thr only thing I keep is my bookmarks. I prefer not to upgrade the os from 10.6.8 to 10.7.4. There must be a file somewhere that is preventing Safarifrom adding items to my keychain but I just don't know what it is.
I had the same issue on my Mac. I did not find any solution online, however I got it!
Do this:
Safari > Preferences >
Then go to "Autofill" tab, and click "Edit" bottom next to "User name and passwords". Find thw website name that you want to reset. In the user name cell, you must see "Passwords Never Saved". Remove that row. that's all! You're done. The next time you visit the page, you must be asked to save the password!

You can remove one step. Going to Autofill->UN & PWDS->Edit is the same a just clicking on Passwords instead of Autofill.
Manually enter your username and password. Tap "Passwords" right above your keyboard. Tap "Save This Password." It still won't autofill when you first load the page, but now you can tap in the username field and hit "Autofill Password." There seems to be no way to actually reset the "Never for this site" setting. Sounds like a job for http://apple.com/feedback.
This has been remedied. Not sure which version they added it but in iOS 9.3 you can now clear it by going to:
• Settings > Safari > Passwords
• Use search to find the site that's a problem.
• Swipe to the left to show Delete or tap Edit, select the site, then tap Delete
• Close Safari from the app switcher (this step may not be needed)
• Go back to Safari and log in to the site that was an issue. It should prompt to save the password.
