42550 - Need to be able to delete wallet and singlesignon database

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Form Manager, defect, P3)

Description

[Stephen P. Morse]

If the user forgets his master password, he is unable to use the wallet and 
single signon feature ever again with that profile.  There needs to be some way 
for him to delete the data and make the profile useable.

Nominating for nsbeta2 per decision reached at John Gable's review meeting.

PDT would like to know if there's a workaround by deleting files in the profile 
directory? Are you proposing some new UI?

steve, how may i test this? is there a UI to delete the autofill and sso db, or
is it as simple as removing the *.s and *.w files from the user's profile dir?

actually, i just tested this using 2000.06.29.08 [mozilla] on winnt.

1. with an existing profile, i captured some form data, as well as save password
info (if you need steps, check out the smoketests at
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/smoketests/). i do not have a master password.

2. select tasks > s & p > password mgr > clear stored data. get the confirmation
dialog saying that the stored data has been deleted (click OK to that).

3. verify by checking the stored form data dialog. result: as expected, it's now
empty.

4. verify by checking the stored passwd dialog. result: password data is still
there.

reopening.
