Talk:Toolkit:Password Manager

Comment

Why should it matter whether Firefox is the default browser? IMHO, the keychain should be used for the UN/PW store regardless of the default browser. What's the down side to having a UN/PW store common to several browsers? --Esta 00:48, 17 February 2005 (PST)

Integration of stored passwords

Wouldn't it be nice to integrate the stored passwords much more in the browser to the bookmarks for a faster browser experience? I think a lot of pages with passwords are just to log in - they have no more use. And this log in could be completely automated with an option for doing so on the bookmark for the page. E.g. a bookmark for page http(s)://login.xyz.com should have something like a drop down menu with the option to

i) Open the bookmark itself (by simply clicking on it)

ii) Directly log in to it (by clicking on the login name in the dropdown menu)

that kind of login could be very fast because the browser don't need to load the hole page and it even don't need to render it fully. By clicking on "ii)" the user would be directly forwarded to the secure area after the login. It's just an idea, but I think it would be very useful, simple to use, and fast!

If you forget your password for the manager it would be good if there was an option to clear all passwords and change the main password. --Brkwtzandrew 19:29, 6 November 2005 (PST)

Manage passwords per page?

Instead of the domain name, the full path should be stored. E.g. for a website "http://www.phpbb.com/forum/index.php?c=3", the stored location should be "www.phpbb.com/forum/index.php" instead of just "www.phpbb.com".

Why?

Example: A forum like phpBB uses the same field names for different purposes. If you want to edit other users in the administration panel, currently Firefox will overwrite the user name and password with the login info of the admin. Very annoying.

Admittedly in this case it could be resolved by the developers of the forum, but I think there are situations where you don't want or can force different name fields for each website hosted on the same domain.

I would very much like this feature, It works with IE, it is very hard to manage users once you have saved one user/password for a site.

This seems like a great idea. However, it seems best if it works very much like AdBlock, where you can type in a URL entirely or use the "*" to indicate anything in this directory. Because while this feature would be a nice option, if it were the only option it would become annoying very quickly on sites where the URL includes a PHP token.

Closing

When the pop up box comes to choose whether to remember or never for this site and the stuff like that. When you press the red 'X' (close button) on the pop up menu the page should not load since a decision has not been made.
