Re: Why Does Facebook Not Remember My Login
Carey Jangam
Hello. Can someone please explain why Facebook asks for username/password every single time Firefox is restarted? I do not use cookie-cleaning extensions. They also send a 'login attempt' email and phone notification every time.
Standard Tracking Protection (allow/block exceptions: none)"Do not track" signal: AlwaysDelete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed: disabled (no exceptions)History - Firefox will: Remember History
i currently have this issue and it took me awhile to find someone else with the same problem.i strongly believe this happened as a result of copying my firefox profile from another PC since my logon was retained on that PC prior to copying my firefox profile to another PC, now this problem exists on both PC's.this is likely a security measure employed by facebook, possibly using a hardware hash from the PC its first set on.i would prefer not having to create a new profile to solve this issue so i will figure out another way to solve it and post back here with a found solution.edit:to solve this problem, go to firefox settings > privacy and security > manage data, type in "facebook" and clear all the stored data.facebook stays logged in now.
Clear all cookies, cache, history etc.Close FirefoxDelete the aforementioned cookies.sqlite filesDelete everything in the storage folder, except for the moz-extension+++ files. These hold the settings for each extension.Start FFLog in to FB again, and check if the login is remembered the next time you start FF.
Clearing the storage/defaults folder (indexedDB) like you posted sounds to me like overkill in most cases as this removes data for all websites stored in local storage.You can first use "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of a Facebook.com history item to cleanup cookies and history and other Facebook data and combine that with removing cookies.sqlite.
It might be overkill, but it was the only way that solved the issue on one time it reoccurred. I guess one might try to only delete the Facebook-related folder in there. Should be easy to identify, I currently see this folder inside storage/default:
I'll also add this info: I have 2FA enabled on Facebook. On all the occasions I kept logging in and Firefox did NOT remember the login, Facebook would not ask me for a 2FA code. It did throw the usual warnings "is this you?", "remember browser?" etc.
Now i have same issue. I deleted cookies.sqlite and it helped, but now issue came back. Is there any solutions which can help? This only happens on facebook and Firefox. Example instagram, twitter.. reddit.. no any issues. Also any issues on chrome or any other browser..
In my other browsers I can save my login information so I do not have to enter my user name and password every-time i want to access the web sight. I am not able to do this with Firefox even though there is information in your help system that says I can. I seem to be missing the ("KEY") symbol on the address bar and in the options page the "Remember Logins and Paswords for Web-sights" does not work. If I can not get this fixed soon I think I will be dropping your browser even though I do like many of its features.
When you log in to a specific website, sometimes your web browser will ask if you want it to remember the password for that site, or it may say "Remember me?" meaning "Do you want this site to hold on to your login credentials?" If you click for the browser to remember your password or to remember you, the browser will store your login information and autofill the login fields each time you go to access that specific site.
Information technology strongly recommends that you do not click to have sites remember you, your password, etc. The reason for this is that it is easier for third parties to access your login credentials if the credentials are saved in a web browser. Clearing your saved passwords can help remove you from this security risk.

What you are probably seeing is the session cookie that ties a specific client to a specific session on the server - that is so the server knows which session to use for you. In this case, the only thing the cookie contains is a long, random session ID - it's long and random so it can't be easily guessed by an attacker.
You (the server) and a friend (the client) are gossiping about your other friend Cindy, does you friend give you every detail of information about her (hair color, height, etc...)? No, that would be a waste of time. It's much faster for you to process the information you already know about Cindy (on the $_session file, server-side) and only receive unique information ($_cookies) from your friend (the client).
They probalby use sessions and then store some information into cookies, like, user_id is logged in with session_id = .../ then check in session for that session_id to see if the user is still logged in.I think it is a waste of resources. In my opinion i store critical info into sessions and big info into cookies
I think Server-Side session data stores. If you want to store user data persistently, you'll need to write it into a server-side data store (e.g., a relational database, a NoSQL key-value store, etc.). The lookup key will typically be either a cookie ID or a login ID. To speed up lookups, you can put a caching layer in front of it (e.g., Memcache, Redis). The advantage is that you can store an arbitrarily large / complex set of per-user data.
A year ago, I deactivated my Facebook account. My husband's account can be accessed (and is automatically) from both his laptop and mine. I would like 1) stop having his page automatically open on my computer and 2) reactivate my own account. I've managed to achieve the 1st step. The problem I can't get past is that my email address is only one letter different from his. When I go to log in to reactive my old account, the login page "self-corrects" to his email, asking for his password.
Auto-fill is actually a function of your browser, not facebook. You may also be able to access the browsers setting to delete the stored login info, Can't tell you how tho because we don't know what browser you are using.
Don't worry - it's quick and painless! Just click below, and once you're logged in we'll bring you right back here and post your question. We'll remember what you've already typed in so you won't have to do it again.
Yes facebook accounts are associated with a number ID, First go to sign into your spotify account using your facebook login details, and then go to Overview in the option menu at the top and you should see the numerical Username associated with your facebook created spotify account.
If you need password reset for that username:
1. Go to -reset/
2. If you get redirected to your online profile (where you need to current password to make the change), you are still logged into the website. Click on your name at the top and choose Log Out.
3. Return to -reset/ and you should be able to request a reset by entering your username (not your email address).
TeamPassword is a robust password manager where you can keep all your credentials in one place! You never have to remember passwords because TeamPassword complete's login forms for you! Sign up for a 14-day free trial to experience the convenience and security of TeamPassword!
These days, most people save passwords in the browser. If you're logging in using another device (or browser), try checking your browser's password manager, where you'll likely find your Facebook credentials!
Saving passwords in a browser like Google Chrome is risky because these password managers are unencrypted. We have another article about the risks of saving passwords in Chrome and our recommendations for a better password manager solution.
4. Next, Facebook gives you a couple of options. If you use Gmail for Facebook, you can sign in to your Facebook account using Google. Alternatively, you can choose to Send a code via email.
9. Next, you have the option to Log out of other devices or Stay logged in. It's always best practice to log out of all devices, but this is entirely up to you. Make your choice and click Continue.
We recommend printing these recovery codes and filing them unmarked in a physical filing system. If you save these codes on your PC or in the cloud, make sure the file is unidentifiable so hackers don't find them!
The easiest method is sticking to two-factor authentication using Google Authenticator (GA). To log in to Facebook, you will need your password and a six-digit code from GA. Without the GA code, you can't log into your Facebook account.
TeamPassword is a password manager designed to make sharing credentials easy and secure! You never have to remember or enter passwords when logging in because TeamPassword does it all for you.
TeamPassword's most robust feature is its ability to share credentials securely. If your team still shares passwords via email, Slack, or spreadsheets, you are exposing your company and customers to many cybersecurity risks.
With TeamPassword, you create groups to share credentials with team members. For example, you might have a marketing group, legal group, or accounts group. Each of these has access to relevant accounts and applications.
TeamPassword's groups are also great for hiring contractors or freelancers. Set these temporary team members up on TeamPassword and remove them when they complete the job. No need to share raw login credentials or change passwords when a coworker leaves the team!
If you have an alternate email or phone number listed on your account, you can use these to reset your password. Facebook will use them to confirm that the account is yours, send you verification codes, and ultimately finish your account recovery. Go to facebook.com/login/identify and follow the instructions to reset your account.
