Hi,
I, too tried the Skweezer page for logging into GMail and didn't have any
luck either. I remembered my password, as it's been the same for quite some
time. Incidentally, not long after that login attempt, when I checked mail
on my PC, I found a notice from GMail that said:
Someone recently tried to sign in to your Google Account, [email protected].
We prevented the sign-in attempt in case this was a hijacker trying to
access your account. Please review the details of the sign-in attempt:
The notice went on to give specifics about the IP address from which the
login attempt was attempted, and gave a domain of unknown.net, apparently in
San Diego, California.
As an aside, I don't know if this login attempt was by Skweezer or whether
someone tried to hijack my account.
There was also a link in the notice pointing to a page containing
information on account hijacking and how to change the password. I didn't
change the password; I thought the likelihood would be pretty high that
there would be a captcha involved and I have no sighted assistance here to
help me deal with that.

Hi Lucy,
I tried the Skweezer route and you definitely can see the username field.
I still couldn't get signed in, but that might be because I am not
remembering my password, in other words, operator error.
Here is the e-mail about the fix to signing into the Amazon mobile site
from Marvin. Enjoy.
-------------------------------------
I just wanted to let everyone know that it's possible to sign into Amazon.
I, like Alex, couldn't figure things out at first. But then I tried
saving the page using space with s.
Unfortunately, saving on the mobile version doesn't seem to work, but go
to the full site and hit the sign in link. (I think it's called that.)
Once you're on the sign in page, you need to save the page with space
with s. After that, exit the web browser. The next part is a little
tricky, but very easy.
It turns out that the reason we can't see the email address field is
because the field type has been changed from a regular text box to a type
email field, which the bn obviously doesn't recognize as a standard text
box type. This must be a
non-standard field type because I've not even seen it in books on html or
JavaScript.
This is why you just saved the page. We're going to open the htm file
and edit a small section. Here is how that process goes:
Go to the open document option in keyword. From there, select the drive
and folder you saved the sign in page to. Now, at the filename prompt,
hit space with x until you hear something like "document type: all files".
Then hit space to get into
the files list.
From there, select "amazon.com sign in.htm", or whatever you named the
saved htm file. This is really a plain ascii file, so you'll get a review
the options prompt. Say yes to that question.
In the options list, change both the options about line or paragraph
formatting so that they say "line". After doing that, exit the list by
hitting previous or space with e.
Now that you're in the file, you need to do a search for the text
type="email". You should find that text using a forward search. It'll be
the first, and likely only result. In the quotation marks, you need to
change the word "email" to "text".
Once you've done that, hit space with e. You should get a question about
saving the document in a different format because of changes you've made
to the file. Just hit the letter s, and the file will be saved properly
in the same format it was in
originally.
Now that the change has been made, use keyweb to open the file you just
worked on. It's easiest to do this from the file manager's directory (I
think it's some kind of browse option for apex users) choice. Locate the
location where the file is as
normal. Hitting enter on the "amazon.com sign in.htm" file will pop up
the browser address field.
Hitting enter again will load the page. You should now be able to see
the email address field. After you sign into Amazon using your modified
file, both the full and mobile versions of the site will work properly
from now on.
Once you've signed in successfully, a cookie gets saved and it won't get
erased unless you clear your cookies or do a hard reset with dots 4 5 6.
If either of those two things happens, you will need to do this procedure
again to sign back into
Amazon.
This was a bit lengthy for the sake of not-so-experienced users, and I
hope it wasn't too confusing. If it was, I am available on keychat using
the google talk id in my signature. I hope this helps.

Hi,
I tried the Amazon fix and it seemed to work, except that after
signing in to Google I got the message that cookie functionality
was not turned on in the web browser. Isn't keyweb cookie stuff
always turned on? At least I have never found anything about
turning it on and off. I also looked in the manual this morning.

I have an Apex bt 32 running keysoft 9.1 and I can't sign in any
more either. Marvin, Can you fix the gmail page like you fixed
the amazon page?

Hi,
Another method to check whether email field type was used is by
saving the
page and examining the HTML code. I hightly suspect "email" type
was used
since Google uses full Gmail address for username.
Cheers,
Joseph

I do, yes. Next time I'll try turning it off and see if that
makes a
difference, though since the password field show up normally I
have my
doubts. Still, you bring up a good point.
