Only after I shutdown or restart.
Can quit browser or put puter to sleep, all is well. No need to log in again on wake up or reopening browser.
Safari on Intel Power Mac.
Flushed DNS cache & checked security settings. Cookies enabled.
Coincided with changing password.
:thinking:
Have you looked at Safari preferences to see if your PW and login have been saved for SRP and if "remember passwords" is enabled? That's all I can think of as a fellow Mac user.
Don't see "remember passwords" in Yosemite but has Autofill usernames & passwords checked but not saving the SRP one.
Other websites behave as they should re autofill & prompting for password saving.
Yep,,,:beer2: loss of remembering is the first thing to go; you don't want to know what is next,,,,:shrug:
I can't really help you Oz but I will say ...... I never have any computer remember my password. I always type them in when logging in. Not that I need to do it every restart. I have cookies enabled, and I do click 'remember me' on the initial log in, but when firefox asks if I want to "remember password for this site", I always select 'never remember password for this site.' :gl:
Yosemite stores web passwords in the keychain. If you changed your password on this site you will have to purge the keychain entry for SRP and then when you log back onto SRP it will ask you if you want to store the password.
Well I tried that & it ain't asking me anything & now have no record of passwords for SRP in keychain or Safari.Quote:

Try deleting the cookie and logging on again from the beginning. At that point perhaps it will ask you if you want 'it' to remember your password. Meanwhile, when you log in, you are clicking 'remember me', right ?Quote:

I'd create another user account on the mac and see if both accounts on srp behave differently there.
What about other browsers, is it the same difference on chrome and firefox?
Yes the test account worked ok so it's gotta be my current one at fault ? I didn't try firefox but will.Quote:

They used to be written to text files, but now are stored in the browser memory.
One possibility would be that crashing the browser on shutdown/restart instead of quitting it wouldn't go through the process of save that information to the disk. It's just a speculation on my part though, I haven't switched to 10.10 and restart the computer roughly once a month, but haven't observed the behavior you're seeing.
Oh I never thought of trying a new SRP acc.
Cookies remain unless deleted manually, it seems but I think the issue lies somewhere around the passwords tab in Safari & Keychain Access... maybe ?
Firefox had its owm wierdness so I'm not really sure. It didn't even keep me logged in after quitting so maybe yeah cookies issue as I believe it deletes stuff on closing .
Anyhoo just went thru a few hours of creating new accounts & trying to restore iTunes libraries etc & am over it.
Have restored via Time Machine to last month's state & all is working as it should. I will run whatever updates are needed & see if anything breaks akong the way.
Thanks all for the suggestions.
I don't know if it pertinent but on my android phone I used to have to press "remember me" prior to finishing entering my details if I pressed it just prior to pressing the "login" button it didn't always work.
Sounds like buggy software Ed.
Still had me logged in today after a shutdown last night so it's all good.
Glad to hear that it has come good.Quote:
