Re: SM2 does not offer to remember passwords

(I just found that for me, it is denying addonsmirror.net, which is surprising. I removed it from this passwords that will not be saved list). No. But someone on this board mentioned a problem similar to what I saw, and posted this link: https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html This site has a bookmarklet that I could use: it seems the web page would suppress asking for a password after SM had saved one once. I don't claim to understand what happened, but running the Remember password bookmarklet enabled SM to pop the question again, and, once remembered, the password is in my password list and is entered automatically when the login box pops up. That's all I wanted, so I've saved the bookmarklet for later reference. Thanks for responding. Many thanks for that link. Good to know Remember Password bookmarklet works in SM-2.0a3 and 2.0 b1pre. Just a note to-mention a pretty-important caveat, in that Remember-Password only works on sites that use autocomplete=off to prevent your browser from remembering passwords. If the site uses another method to break your browser's password manager, such as having two password fields or submitting the form using JavaScript, this bookmarklet won't help. Barry. You're right, and the site itself makes that clear. Also, when you run the bookmarklet, it reports what it does. And I have not seen anyone even mentioning a work-around for that solution, so I guess when I find a site that protects its security in that way, I'll just have to live with it. But this one was not so crucial, so I'm glad I found this. Margo. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
