1198300 - username / password saving for Trello

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Chris Vanden Berghe]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0
Build ID: 20150819100530

Steps to reproduce:

I tried to save username / password for Trello (https://trello.com/login) using FF saved passwords functionality.


Actual results:

Username / password are not auto-filled on accessing the login page.


Expected results:

Username and password filled in.

Trello seem to be aware and recommend other tools...

Hi Chris,

Thanks for reaching out. Our engineers have chosen to disable that for security reasons. (Leaving it enabled leaves the form vulnerable to an attack in which a password could be stolen, because of how our login process works.)

What you might consider is using a third-party password manager (such as 1Password or LastPass), which can auto-fill in Trello. If that's not an appealing/possible option, then manually entering that information is going to be the best bet.

Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

All the best,

Emily

Hi, 

Regarding the fact that Trello have chosen to disable that functionality from security reasons, I don't think this is FF problem. Do you have problems with you password on other sites?

Actually, I have in the meantime managed to convince Trello to allow FF's password manager.
