Q: Clarification of turingtest2 on automatic login

is implying that you can be automatically logged in to ASC or at least ASC will remember my password.  How do I do that?

 

"You should find that on subsequent visits your email address and password are entered for you and clicking Sign In will log in without requiring authentication."

 

second page of

Remember user name and stay logged in?

 

I do not use two step login.

 

ASC is wiping out my password on the login window.  Very annoying when I made the decision to have my password saved by my browser.

    Haven't we covered this?

    • SHIFT + TAB
    • TAB
    • ENTER

    BTW, my bank - Chase.com - is doing the same thing (likely for a lot longer than Apple)

    Thanks.  I was going to add the work-around.

     

    How I read turingtest2 post is that you do not need to do the work-around.  Just my confusion?

    Maybe you are doing this deliberately in your posting of an image but your AppleID is not your user ID here (rccharles) but your email address (not a good idea to display in an image here which is maybe why you aren't showing it, but just to be clear...).

     

    Oh, about 6 months ago the automatic password thing stopped working for me too but I presumed it was an Apple vs. Anybody-but-Apple (in my case TenFourFox) thing.

     

    I don't know what ChitlinsCC's tab stuff means.

    For security rumor has it apple has some javascript that erases the password.  That's why you see the little broken line all the way to the left of the field.

     

    ChtlinesCC developed this work-around.

     

    After Apple ASC erases you auto filled password, the cursor end up in the password field.

     

    Press the back tab key ( shift tab ).

    Press the tab key.    Now you password is filled in.  Javascript doesn't notice the password fill in!

     

    Press return to login.

     

    I noticed this work-around.  edit > paste will paste into a password field without javascript taking note.

    The former is apparently an strategy that many "secure" sites are using - my Bank, Chase.com is one.

     

    Workaround if you don;t wanna type your password every time, and have your browser 'remembering' it - works like a charm.

    As I wrote in the other thread, you may need to visit your browser's settings pages to make sure it is able to cache your password. Both Chrome and Safari (other browsers may vary) seem to prompt to save passwords, but have a "no & don't ask again" option which you would need to reset if you've used it. Or it could be that your browser's password cache is corrupt and needs resetting for that reason.

     

    For the avoidance of doubt the ability to save the password does not appear to be related to two-factor authentication. I've just signed into an alternate test account and the password has been saved, and can be reused on subsequent visits.

     

    Hmm, actually I may have been using a browser that was already being "remembered"... I will clear the cache and try again. Nope still OK.

    I'm using Firefox 37.0.2 on Fedora 21.  There is no problem with other sites.  I think ASC is trashing the password via javascript.

    I'll see what shakes out when I get my new mac mini.

    Hopefully I'm not confusing the matter. if I understand the problem correctly the two-step process was making it nessary to enter your user name as well as your password every half hour. Without two-step your user name is still saved.

    I normally go directly to my profile page, and then click login, however a link to https://discussions.apple.com would be just as effective.

    Hi bob, rccharles isn't using two-step, but my guess is something is preventing his browser remembering the password so he cannot simply click a button to sign in.

    Aloha tt2.

    Thanks for the clarification.  I wasn't sure if this was still a two-step verification problem or not.

    Thanks again.  Bob.

    If you're interested in what that "something" may be, view the Page Source of the Login Page and attend to  lines 340-367 - particularly how it is not "formatted" (like 'checked' javascript) AND the line 344 " display: block; "

     

    As I said before, here and elsewhere, my bank does the same thing and I have seen it on other sites I cannot "cite" from memory

     

    best
