Re: 2.6.1 stored passwords - multiple redundant repeats over and over
On 1/3/2012 10:23 PM DoctorBill submitted the following: Snippity, Snip, Snip, Snip One last thing. If the entries are actually different, why won't the Password Manager in 2.6.1 allow me to delete just one of them ? As I said, if I tried to delete one of the so called duplicate pairs, they both (everything) gets deleted. I'll leave it at that. More Snips OK - I'll try to make sense of this. When you go to, let's say, a financial webpage and log in you are furnishing a user/password to the main log-in page. This page after it accepts your log-in information usually has links to other pages such as: Your Preferences; Monthly Statement; Bills Paid; etc. To facilitate your operation the user/password you logged-in with is passed to the Sub-domain (URL of the link)saving you the time and effort to re-log into the new domain. This now creates an entry in your Password file which will have the same Host Name as the original log-in site, but with a sub-domain of the link's URL. Now you have two entries with the original Host Name. Go to another page following a link and the same process will occur. Now you will now have three entries with the original Host Name URL: and a different Sub-domain URL. Think of this file as a spread sheet. Column 1 has the Host Name URL, Column 2 has the User Name; Column 3 has the Password, and Column 4 has the Sub-Domain URL. When you say 'Delete Host Name URL entry' the system looks down Column 1 and deletes all rows of the entered Hostname since other info in the rows is now invalid. Not knowing if there is only one of these names in the spreadsheet, the software continues down the rows and removes ALL entries with the delete URL name. Simple - No? (Not necessarily exactly the way SM works but probably close). -- Ed, W3BNR http://JonesFarm.us/W3BNR Powered by SeaMonkey: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ I knew I was going to take the wrong train, so I left early.-Yogi Berra (1925-) ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Re: 2.6.1 stored passwords - multiple redundant repeats over and over
DoctorBill: the numerous responses, *g* I would suppose: 1. No one has had this problem before me. Not exactly. 2. No one knows what is going on. I can guess. AFAIR you have recently migrated from a very old SM to a current one. 3. No one G.A.S. That one i don't understand. Never mind. My time of the migration was long ago and i have forgotten most of it by now. I remember filing a bug about the migration of the passwords and that this bug was fixed. Formerly passwords and usernames were stored in a file named numbers.s and later in a file named signons3.txt. There may have been interim stages. Now the access dates are contained in the signons.sqlite which was created by the migration from one of these old files. If there was a signons3.txt this one was taken to create the signons.sqlite. Now, all the old files are pure text files which can easily be read and edited. Just that had i done before filing my bug and i had gathered enough information from that to show where the migration failed. You should have at least one of the old files in your profile. Now, before going further, make a backup of them and your new signons.sqlite! I am doing this by custom by appending a -s to the original name. It seems that there are some strange entries in your old text file. Look into it after closing your SM, try to understand what is in it, modify it, delete your signons.sqlite and then start your SM. A new signons.sqlite will be created automatically from your modified file. Here is an example from my own signons3.txt: --- . http://bugs.gentoo.org Bugzilla_login secret *Bugzilla_password secret --- . http://bugs.winehq.org Bugzilla_login secret *Bugzilla_password secret --- You can see that the entries are separated by three dashes. As for the secrets, they are obscured by using Base64. It wasn't that difficult for me to find out what to try to change. And, you can repeat trying as long as you wish because you have backups.
