In Safari? (this should be in the Software forum then!)

Do you have "User names and Passwords" checked in the AutoFill tab in Safari's preferences?

>.< He was asking about saving passwords in websites—that's a feature that's in Safari. That's why I asked if it was in Safari, to establish if it was a system issue or not...

But since it is the fact that Safari is not using the keychain... I think you pointed that name at the wrong person. Add to that that Apfhex actually came up with a good answer...

Thanks, that was unchecked, and I never made a note of it. I assume that was the deal.

I just did a clean install, so maybe that is unchecked by default?

I don't think there is a Safari forum on Macnn is there?

Not directly, but Safari falls under the "Applications" section...
