You may notice that when you enter Personal Area there are no "Save password" or "Remember me" checkboxes. The question may arise - why? Is it really necessary to enter every time complex password? Below we provide answers to these questions.
So why can't you save the password? The fact is that when you enter a username and password on any site, a so-called session is created between your computer and the server, with a unique identifier, on the basis of which the server recognizes you. The checkboxes save password and the like do not actually save the password, but unique identifiers, and store them in so-called cookies. This system not very safe.
For security purposes, when entering your personal account, unique identifiers are generated each time new ones, so it will be pointless to save them. Instead, you can use the function that everyone now has modern browsers- password autocomplete (wand, keychain - different names in different browsers). Below is a video with instructions on how to activate this feature.

Reasons for not saving logins and passwords in the browser Mozilla Firefox(and any other) there may be several. I will list a few - those that I myself have encountered. True, I don’t use Rambler’s mail (I think it’s the worst, although I can’t explain why), so I’ll only describe the general reasons for such a failure, without taking into account the features of Rambler itself, which, as far as I know, is constantly being redone and “improved”, which It can also cause malfunctions...
1. Cleaning the disk or the entire computer from various debris - it would seem that you do not clean the browser, but in many cases this implicitly (often without notifying the user) erases the entire history of visiting sites and, accordingly, the logins saved in them and passwords.
2. When you first enter your password in the browser, when a pop-up window appears asking "Remember passwords for this site?" or "Remember passwords?" (in different versions the question is different), you either clicked "No", or closed the window without an answer at all - accordingly, your login and password (everywhere or on this site) are not saved.
3. In order to automatically log in to the site when you go to it, it is necessary that the browser saves not only the password, but also your login, recognizing you by IP, by cookies or by some other signs, and already entering the login itself the stored password associated with it. Saving passwords on the site itself means just that - saving passwords for all your logins. What login you enter on the site, that saved password will be entered. And the site and the browser will authorize you in the login in which you were, leaving the site or turning off the computer.
So, in order for the browser to save logins, you need to check the box "remember logins for sites" in the browser settings, in the "Protection" section (on the tab).
Don't rely on never changing browser settings - Firefox is updated almost every week or two, and very often when updating, for some reason, it changes the default settings. You hope that they are by default the same as in previous version and all of a sudden they changed. Check it out, don't be lazy...
4. By the way, in the browser settings there is another tab - "Privacy", which also regulates the storage of your various actions in the browser. Make sure that on this tab in the very first line "Ask sites not to track me" is unchecked (otherwise the browser simply will not recognize you), and in the "History" section it would be written that Firefox "will remember history" or "will use your history storage settings" (then these settings need to be configured).
Probably, these are not all the reasons for resetting the password when leaving the site, but I hope that this information will be useful to you...
Yes, and one more moment. The indicated reasons for resetting the password and ways to eliminate them are usually relevant for other browsers, it’s just that sections, bookmarks and settings items may be called differently there, but their essence is the same ...
How right and unmistakably enter password on your page? most convenient and easy way.
How to determine if the password is correct?
After you enter your login, it is difficult for you to determine the correctness of your input, because you do not see the characters that you entered.
There is one easy way, which I recommend to everyone, without exception. So, you have entered some resource where authorization is required, that is, entering a "login" and a password.
About using Notepad
Your "login" is highlighted and visible in the "login" input field. The password field is empty.
For this you can use notebook, where you enter all your data in advance: your login, also write down your password next to it.
And every time you need to visit your page, you just copy and paste in the window for entering a password or login.
Move to different accounts
This technique can be used to log into different accounts, in in social networks how:
However, one must recognize the fact that at the same time, this data must be on some external drive or on so that this information is not easily accessible to other users.
If you do not want to copy your username and password from a notepad or other document you created for these purposes every time, then you resort to a different type entering your data.
If you do not know how fast, then the article and video will help solve this problem.
The choice is always yours!
I KNOW YOU CAN!
