Save Password after Selecting "Never Save Password"

Is there a way to clear the force the plugin to prompt again for a website to save the credentials? The user accidentally selected "Never save for this site." They now want to save the password, but we are unable to get the plugin to prompt again. Currently on V6.3.0.73.83.0.

 

We have tried the "Reset plugin" in the settings, but that didn't fix it.

    Hey Emily, I hope you are doing well today!

     

    You can try to reset again the plugin but this time by following these steps but be aware that you must do with each user individually. 

     

    Chrome

     

    Open Chrome and go to settings Menu -> Tools -> Extensions and check Developer Mode in the upper right side.

     

    Find the ID of the extension for Okta. In my case the ID is glnpjglilkicbckjpbgcfkogebgllemb

     

    In Windows 7 or 8 navigate to

     

    Chrome installation directory > User Data > Default > Local Storage and delete the local storage with the same ID as the extension

     

    In OS X

     

    by opening Finder and navigating to /Applications/Utilities. Then double click Terminal.

     

    At the prompt, type the commands:

     

    > cd ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions/glnpjglilkicbckjpbgcfkogebgllemb/3.16.5_0/js/common

     

    > rm local-storage.js

     

    Firefox

     

    In Firefox, install the Firebug plugin. It can be found at:

     

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firebug/

     

    Navigate to the problem Org and open Firebug. For example https://company.okta.com. In Firefox click Tools -> Web Developer -> Firebug -> Open Firebug

     

    In Firebug select the DOM tab and scroll to search for localstorage. In localstorage, delete the key by right clicking and selecting delete. This should reset the site.

     

    Safari

     

    OS X before Lion:

    Open a terminal by opening Finder and navigating to /Applications/Utilities. Then double click Terminal.

     

    At the prompt, type the commands:

     

    > cd ~/Library/Safari/LocalStorage

    > ls

     

    This will list all the files in the directory. Search for a file that has a similar format https_orgname.okta-admin.com_0.localstorage

     

    Type the command:

     

    > rm https_orgname.okta-admin.com_0.localstorage

     

    OS X Lion or better:

     

    Click on 'Finder'

     

    On the top menu bar click on go and simultaneously hold down the option key and alt key. While you're holding the keys, select Library. In the list, select Safari -> Local Storage and find the Okta Org cookie to remove. It will have a similar format to https_orgname.okta-admin.com_0.localstorage

     

    IE

     

    The persistent.dat file, associated with the plugin, needs to be removed. To do this delete the appropriate .dat file:

     

    Windows XP

     

    <user_home_dir>\Local Settings\Application Data\Okta\IE Plugin\persistent_x86.dat

     

    Windows 7

     

    <user_home_dir>\AppData\LocalLow\Okta\IE Plugin\persistent_x86.dat

     

    This should solve the issue. 

     

    Thank you!

    Do you have suggestions for Microsoft Edge?

     

    We are also all on Windows 10. So the file paths do not match.
