I've been sticking with 2.26.1 until this sorts out (a biggie for me),
but I'm coming to realize that I don't even really know if the problem
affects me.

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.
     2. When L/I or P/W are saved in Password Manger SM won't autofill
either one where needed.
     3. SM will fill the L/I but not the P/W.
     4. SM will fill both if in the Password Manager.
     5. SM will fill both if on the same page, but not the P/W if on a
second page.

So, how exactly does autofill work in 2.32? One of the above, or
something else entirely?

Yes, I know about the problem extension to save passwords. Yes, various
sites use "username" or "login" or other terms; all refer to the first
entry upon logging in.

Thank you for any insights or advice you might give me.

I am still on SeaMonkey 2.31, and it isn't my default browser so I don't have 
many usernames or passwords saved.

I went to the mozillaZine site. Entered my username and password, clicked the 
Login button and was presented with this warning.

Clicking continue in that warning logged me in, but I wasn't asked to save the 
information. 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.
