Proving #1 for that site. I went to my other news servers web site which I have a L/I and P/W saved in SeaMonkey. It did not autofill the password when I entered the user name. I was asked if I wanted to save this information, which I did. That disproves #1 and confirms #2 Removed the old Password Manager entry, restarted SeaMonkey, went to the site, clicked the User login link and the data was autofilled. Confirming #4 for that site. My Verizon login works. Disproving #5 for that site. I'm done testing. It is all too confusing for me. Switch to Firefox and install the Secure Login extension. Thank you for your reply, and for your research. I, too, find all this confusing, which is why I asked the question in the first place. Your answer clears up a lot. Thanks again.

I see several different descriptions of the "problem" as I read this group over recent weeks: 1. SM won't save *new* logins (L/I) or passwords(P/W) at all. Well I know that is not true. Just set one with 2.32 2. When L/I or P/W are saved in Password Manger SM won't autofill either one where needed. Dito not so, WFM. If you have more than one userid/password saved for the same domain you will need to start typing the userid for the correct password to be autofilled. 3. SM will fill the L/I but not the P/W. Not what I see. 4. SM will fill both if in the Password Manager. Yes. 5. SM will fill both if on the same page, but not the P/W if on a second page. Maybe so, sounds like and extended login used by financial websites. If, so you'd be crazy to autofill logins to anything connected to your money IMO. It is the one area you should never, ever, auto login. Use a good *unique* password for each and always manually enter your credentials.
