1425282 - Create a checkbox for "Autofill Logins" in about:preferences#privacy

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1174327

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Tanvi Vyas[:tanvi]]

In about:preferences->Privacy and Security, there is a Forms and Passwords section.  In that there are a checkboxes for "Autofill addresses" and "Autofill credit cards".  We should add an "Autofill passwords".  "Autofill passwords" is more dangerous for a user than "Autofill addresses".

It will fit nicely with the current UI.  Right now we have:

empty line -space- Saved Logins...
Autofill addresses Learn More -space- Saved Addresses...
Autofill credit cards Learn More -space- Saved Credit Cards... 

We could just change this to:
Autofill logins Learn More -space- Saved Logins...
Autofill addresses Learn More -space- Saved Addresses...
Autofill credit cards Learn More -space- Saved Credit Cards... 

(Adding the storage-v2 flag only because this is in the privacy and security section so may be put in a future phase of that project.  Please remove if is not applicable here.)

Autofill of addresses and credit cards is about whether to show autocomplete which is different than autofilling on page load which I think is what you want to control (signon.autofillForms) so I don't think the checkboxes should be adjacent. Autofilling of passwords should be nested under the remember login checkbox or in the subdialog.
