1378448 - Firefox doesn't remember password for united.com

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1322673

(Toolkit :: Password Manager: Site Compatibility, enhancement)

Description

[Eric Rescorla (:ekr)]

Firefox does know that I have a password and offers to fill it in, but it actually remembers an old password. I have logged in an entered the new password and set update but it doesn't seem to remember it nor does it show up as saved (by date) in the saved logins.

To clarify: it does offer to update the password and I agree, but no joy.

IIUC, you're seeing the doorhanger to update the login but clicking "Update" doesn't change the storage? What page are you typing the new password in? Can you set the pref signon.debug=True and see if there are any errors or warnings in your log using the instructions from https://wiki.mozilla.org/Toolkit:Password_Manager/Debugging.  Updating works for me on https://www.united.com/ual/en/us/account/account/signin

There was an existing bug report about problems with updating when a login was previously saved over the http schema but we are now filling it on https… To see if that's the problem, can you check the scheme of the hostname and formSubmitURL for your saved united.com logins by including the output of the following command which can be run from the Browser Console:

Services.logins.getAllLogins().filter(login => login.hostname.endsWith("united.com")).map(login => `${login.hostname} ${login.formSubmitURL}`).join("\n")

Thanks

Yes.

https://www.united.com/ual/en/us/

I'm guessing this:
Unexpected match of multiple logins.  nsLoginManagerPrompter.js:961
	persistData jar:file:///Applications/FirefoxNightly.app/Contents/Resources/omni.ja!/components/nsLoginManagerPrompter.js:961:9
	callback jar:file:///Applications/FirefoxNightly.app/Contents/Resources/omni.ja!/components/nsLoginManagerPrompter.js:975:9
	_onButtonEvent resource://gre/modules/PopupNotifications.jsm:1461:9
	oncommand chrome://browser/content/browser.xul:1:1

It doesn't work for me there either.

Services.logins.getAllLogins().filter(login => login.hostname.endsWith("united.com")).map(login => `${login.hostname} ${login.formSubmitURL}`).join("\n")

Excellent. That helps a lot. This is in fact a dupe of bug 1322673. Now we just need pwmgr to get resources to fix the P1s…
