The Password Manager for SeaMonkey 1.x had a preference variable (set either by going to about:config or by editing user.js) to remember passwords where the Web site did not want you to remember them. For SeaMonkey 2.x, there is a new Password Manager that no longer uses that preference variable. Thus, it attempts to remember far fewer passwords. See bug #425145 at <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425145>. Apparently, the Password Manager developers believe the desires of browser users are not as important as the desires of Web site owners. There is a workaround for this, which can make Password Manager in SeaMonkey 2.x remember even more passwords than it ever did in SeaMonkey 1.x. The workaround is described at <http://cybernetnews.com/firefox-remember-passwords/>. While that Web page does not describe the workaround for UNIX or Linux, it should be the same after you locate your nsLoginManager.js file, which is in a subdirectory (likely named "components") under the directory where SeaMonkey is installed. -- David E.
