I created a test profile where I installed the Last Password extension. From only a brief test, I get a strong impression that it saves my passwords externally, on some remote server. Is this true? That is definitely NOT what anyone should want. Even if I encrypt my passwords using Password Manager's master password, I still want to restrict the storage of my passwords to my own PC. Password Manager stores the encrypted passwords in the user's profile. I have four profiles, two of which have passwords. All four passwords are in a non-standard location. -- David E. Ross I am sticking with SeaMonkey 2.26.1 until saved passwords can be used when autocomplete=off.
