I recently upgraded from SeaMonkey v1.1.19 to v2.0.11. I am not happy
with the new password manager. It has two problems:
1. Sometimes it won't show any of the information until I enter the
first character. When you have many accounts and passwords, this defeats
the purpose of having a password manager.
Instead of entering anything, try clicking twice on the ID field.
On my Macs I'm able to click once and I get a drop-down to click on...nice.
2. There are some https accounts where the old password manager worked
but the new one does not. It doesn't offer to save the password.
Unless this is something that is going to be fixed soon, I'm going to be
looking for a different password manager program. Can anyone suggest a
good one which is compatible with SeaMonkey, and preferably is freeware?
Thanks!
This is caused by login pages that block the saving of passwords. To
defeat such blocks, see
<http://cybernetnews.com/firefox-remember-passwords/>. However, more
and more Web sites have logins via scripts (e.g., JavaScript), for which
nothing enables saving passwords. This is addressed in bug #355063 at
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355063>.
I found a work around for sites that do this using a javascript edit -

This works with SM as well - I did it once, and then put it back to as
coded. But there's your fix, if you want to code it permanently.
