I've been sticking with 2.26.1 until this sorts out (a biggie for me),

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.
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.
