145143 - [RFE] Remember password: "Never for this site" for current session only

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: Passwords & Permissions, enhancement)

Description

[Jonas Jørgensen]

In addition to Yes, No and Never for this site, I propose an additional button
which would make Password Manager not ask to remember the password for the rest
of the current site session. This would be useful when you're going to be
logging in to multiple different accounts at the same site and don't want to say
No every time, but you don't want to choose Never for this site either since you
might the password to be remembered the next time you visit this site.

Just wondering how you are defining "current site session".  Is it up until you 
next enter an explicit url on the url bar?

Comment 2

[Jonas Jørgensen]

I'm not sure... perhaps the same method used to determine when a per-session
cookie expires?

Comment 3

[Stephen P. Morse]

That would be the end of the browser session.

Comment 4

[Jonas Jørgensen]

So if a site sets a session cookie, and I browse away from that site and
continue browsing for several hours, and then visit that site again, the session
cookie will still be sent? Isn't that a bug?

[Stephen P. Morse]

That's not a bug.  That's the definition of a session cookie.

Reassigning to new module owner.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.

This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but still has no comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project 5 years ago.

Because of this, we're resolving the bug as EXPIRED.

If you still can reproduce the bug on SeaMonkey 2 or otherwise think it's still valid, please REOPEN it and if it is a platform or toolkit issue, move it to the according component.
