I asked Beltzner on IRC if he had any desired improvements, and came up with the following: | |||
* The "Should Firefox remember this password?" dialog shouldn't block the loading of the new page. | |||
* Password generation (eg, hash site name and a common password.) Has anti-phishing benefits because user doesn't even really know their own password. | |||
* Filter the list in the "Show Passwords" UI. (meaning?) | |||
* Password entry outside of content. InfoCard or something like it? | |||
* Simplify language (eg, remove "HTTP Password Required"). | |||
TBD. | TBD. | ||
