Why Safari 6.0 will not auto complete the password ?

Why Safari 6.0 will not auto complete the password ? even when the option is selected in autofill tab, and the user-password are listed in the password tab ?

It used to work fine before I upgraded to mountain lion.

Tks

There is a safari extension you can download which enables you to have passwords saved. Sometimes you have to go into Keychain.app and store it first, but then safari will ask to use the stored info in Keychain the first time you visit the website... I am running 10.8.2 and Safari 6.0.1 and it works great on many site that didn't save due to the autocomplete=OFF craziness... message me for the file (as I don't think I can post links on here?). my username on here at mac or search google for autocomplete.safariextz , download it and click on it to install in safari.

10.8.2 and Safari 6.0.2 on Mac with the same issue.

Till yesterday autofill was working, since this morning it's not working anymore on certain websites.

Also a huge number of passwords have disappeared from keychain.

Furthermore Safari is not offering saving the username/password for sites whose entries are missing from keychain.

Websites where autofill is not working anymore have no autofill tag in html at all.


Here's what helped:


- close all apps


- delete the 'com.apple.Safari' folder from ~/Library/Caches/...


- I've restored the users 'login.keychain' from a Time Machine backup

you can find it here: Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Keychain/...


logout and login


Voila it's working again!
