Public bug reported: When the capture of browser credentials is enabled (this feature is provided by the xul-ext-webaccounts package) and the user visits for the first time gmail.com and accepts the WebApps integration, the Online Accounts panel pops up and prompts the user to enter his Google credentials.
However, both the username and password fields are empty. While for the password field it's a design decision (due to possible legal/political issues), not provising even the username leads to a bad user experience. By providing the username prefilled in the form, it's more clear what we are expecting from the user, and we avoid having the user attempting to login with a different account. The root of this bug is: http://code.google.com/p/accounts-sso/issues/detail?id=132 which could also have some other serious implications besides this one. For all the above, I suggest this fix to be integrated into Ubuntu 12.10 as an SRU. The risk of regressions is minimal, because the package is well covered with unit tests and the proposed code change only inverts the order in which a couple of actions are performed -- no code is added or removed. ** Affects: libsignon-glib (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1081976 Title: When prompted to create a Google account after visiting GMail, login form is empty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsignon-glib/+bug/1081976/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
