Hi,
How can I get Yahoo to save my Name and Password for my e-mail so I don't have to type it in everytime?
It was working like that yesterday, now all of a sudden I have to type it in.
It does not ask me if I want to save the username/password.
Thanks in advance

Me too. I think the latest Java update may be responsible but don't know for certain what to do!

Open Safari > Preferences > Passwords
Delete anything Yahoo related then click Remove > Done
Now select the Privacy tab in Safari > Preferences
Click Details. Remove anything Yahoo related again.
Now open Keychain Access located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select Passwords on the left.
Type yahoo in the search field top right corner of that window.
Then delete all Yahoo keychains.
Back to Safari ... Go to Yahoo.com then sign in with your username and password.
Click Yes when prompted to save that data to a new keychain.
Hi,
I follwed the instructions and when I went to Yahoo and put my name and Password in, the prompt did not come up and ask me if I wanted to save my username and password.
Is there any other way I can do this?
Thanks
Keychain Access only remembers passwords.
When you login to Yahoo.com, you should see dialog asking if you want your username saved.
Try deleting the Safari cache.
Press Command + Option + E on your keyboard then quit and relaunch Safari and try Yahoo again.
Hi,
If I delete the safari cache, will that get rid of all of my usernames and passwords for the sies that I regularly use and that are saved already?
Thanks
No.
I cannot seem to resolve this problem with any of the suggestions. I simply can't get the prompt to come up when I access my yahoo email. It does seem to come up at other times. Thanks.
Could this be because yahoo has changed something? It seems many sites, such as banks, do something so web browsers won't save passwords. How does one determine if the login information can be saved or not?
Is there a way I can force Safari (or keychain access) to save passwords? In many cases, it is actually better security to have the passwords saved.
Keychain Access remembers a **** of lot more than passwords, I open it up and it has lots of
www.site.com (username) listed, apparently in the clear. In fact, I have 3 different usernames at
login.yahoo.com (usernameXYZ) Previously, in Safari, if I would click in the username box at yahoo login, a list would pop up allowing me to choose one. Now nothing happens. I don't completely understand what is safari and what is keychain access, but what I do know it seems that things are subject to break due to new releases and how a site decides codes it login web page.
Yes, I would like to know this too, Bob. Anyone? This can't be a big secret. My 74-year-old mother-in-law is at her wits' end. She uses IE, I use Firefox and Safari. None ask for Yahoo password (and many other sites now, it seems). I understand the security issues, but it's not like we don't choose "yes" to remember the password. I actually don't do this for my main email, but for secondary, non-personal email I would like the option.
I have the same problem, i tried all of the suggestions here but nothing has worked for me. It was working before and works fine for my gmail account. I dont know what to do. Running 10.8.4 if that helps.
I think this is a Yahoo issue. Everything worked just fine until they 'updated' their service. Now none of my login info saves. I'm getting so frustrated with it I'm ready to abandon my Yahoo accounts for another email service.
