1334609 - allow 1password to interact with HTTP basic auth

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(WebExtensions :: General, defect)

Description

[github]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/51.0
Build ID: 20170118123726

Steps to reproduce:

I visited any site which requires HTTP basic authentication.




Actual results:

When I am prompted to fill in a username and password for HTTP basic auth, I am unable to use 1Password to fill in these credentials.


Expected results:

Firefox should provide an API to allow 1Password to interact with the basic auth dialog box.

I guess this is a problem in 1password. I did not check whether it applies to WebExtensions.

I can reproduce this too. Really annoying. Can't use 1password to login to http basic authentication because the plugin is grayed out.

I have "macOS 10.12.6" with Firefox 56.0 (64-bit)

Hello,

any new info on this? The problem is not really related to 1password, since the basic authentication modal prevents using any other GUI components on Firefox also.

Thanks

I highlighted the buttons with red color that can not be accessed when there's a basic authentication modal.

When the modal is active use can not:

1. open a new tab
2. close the open tab
3. use extensions next to url bar

There is an API for this:

Please bring this up to the developer in the official support channels. It doesn't look like there's anything we should do on our side.
