iPad won't remember usernames and passwords after iOS 7 upgrade?

Ever since I upgraded I have to re-enter my password and username on all of my sites. They would remember me before. I do not have this problem on my iPhone just my ipad. Any suggestions?

iPad 2, iOS 7

ME TOO!!!!! I have all the appropriate "Passwords & Autofill" settings turned on, and the information I previously asked it to remember is listed under "Saved Passwords," but all login pages are blank when I navigate to them (both on my iPhone and iPad.


I even deleted them and tried them fresh, but when I select "Go" after entering usernames and passwords, the devices no longer prompt me as to whether or not I wish to remember them.


Frustrating!!! Hope this is a quick bug...

I can offer some help on the email part, set up the gmail in settings, mail,contacts &calenders then just use the mail app to get your mail.


I have 6 emails set up in there, one quick tap and I get them all.



The google page......bring up the web page and sign into that then click remember me on that. Then make that a bookmark or homepage ect., then go thru and remove any other saved pages from these sites you may have.


When you bring it up by a saved bookmark it will always come up with the settings for that page, which your probably not logged in on that page. Delete all old links and it should work fine when you get the new one set up

Unfortunatly Apple do dot ley you change yhe default browser from Safari to say Chrome so when I get an email with say a ling to a disussion forum I am following the ling tkes me to a browser (Safari) that does not recognise me and I have to then log in to the site again to be able to follow and take part in the discusssion. I hope that makes sense. Getting more frustrated every day. Wish i Could go back to iOS 6.

I have a few web pages open and I go back and forth all day long without getting logged out of the support site.


I do have one page open that I use to look up issues and I go into email and click a link from support in there and it comes up in a new window, mind you anything from a email seems to open in a new window......and I am still logged in to the support site.


The only change I made here which involves web pages is going from app to app, I slide up and go that route to go to the other app. This is the same thing I did before since I got te iPad, the layout is different but still functions the same. I still keep the window open that I am logged in on, but I usually have 6 windows I keep open all the time anyways.

Having multiple windows open is running is how ads, tablets, cell phones work. That's common everyday stuff.


While your on a site and using it, it keeps you logged in when it comes to a tablet. On any computer whether it be a tablet, laptop, desktop....if you close the actual page, your gonna get logged out or if your inactive for a period of time you get logged out.


On any tablet regardless of what brand it is, using multiple windows is common and used for this purpose. There really is nothing in regards to it being a work around, it not. This is how it works and it works well.

I'm not minimizing it.

If your inactive or close the browser, lose internet connection, leave your wifi area or close your iPad you will be logged off the site. It happens to me too under those conditions and everyone else.

That's not a iPad issue or a browser issue, that how it is suppose to work. That's the security on the website, that's not a iPad, iPhone or browser issue.
