If I change my password for one of my bookmarks I no longer get a prompt to remember the new password, but it still remembers my other bookmarks passwords. What's up?

I needed to change the password for one of my bookmarks, when I substituted the new password in the appropriate place I didn't receive a prompt for remembering the new password. I then deleted the old password from saved password in the security tab in preferences and still no prompt. Where do I turn on the prompt which I'm guessing has been inadvertently turned off?
