I've just had an exchange of emails with the owner of a web-site observing that the site does not "remember me". They have responded that is something I have to do locally - i.e. save it to FireFox password remembering. However, I am not offered the ability (hence why I raised the subject). Is there a way of manually adding the data? Or is it a case, as I suspect, that the site needs to offer the feature, in which case it is a question for the site owner? If it is a feature the sire owner needs to enable what is the technical term for what they need to do so I can get back to them? Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

In Firefox there is a setting under Tools - Options on the Security tab to "Remember passwords for sites". Have you got this checked?

Yes I have a few saved already but I am not always offered the option of saving the password- for example Npower. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

Npower won't work as they've got autocomplete="off" on the input tag. There may well be a Firefox plugin to ignore that. Your other site may have (inadvertently) added that. Log in to reply |

Ha- that's helped have now managed to enable password saving for Npower, though not for my Doctor's booking system which is what I was battling with by email. An add-on tool called Greasemonkey did it. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

Ha- found instructions on how to hack the thing yourself- maybe of interest to others. May work similarly on IE. Create a new bookmark called say - "Password" and in the "location box' type javascript:(function(){var%20ca,cea,cs,df,dfe,i,j,x,y;function%20n(i,what){return%20i+"%20"+what+((i==1)?"":"s")}ca=cea=cs=0;df=document.forms;for(i=0;i<df.length;++i){x=df[i];dfe=x.elements;if(x.onsubmit){x.onsubmit="";++cs;}if(x.attributes["autocomplete"]){x.attributes["autocomplete"].value="on";++ca;}for(j=0;j<dfe.length;++j){y=dfe[j];if(y.attributes["autocomplete"]){y.attributes["autocomplete"].value="on";++cea;}}}alert("Removed%20autocomplete=off%20from%20"+n(ca,"form")+"%20and%20from%20"+n(cea,"form%20element")+",%20and%20removed%20onsubmit%20from%20"+n(cs,"form")+".%20After%20you%20type%20your%20password%20and%20submit%20the%20form,%20the%20browser%20will%20offer%20to%20remember%20your%20password.")})(); Then just before you enter a password click this bookmark which will switch autocomplete to ON and you will get the "save password" option.
