1552759 - The user cannot save multiple credentials on websites that only require password

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Daniel Bodea [:danibodea]]

Note

• When the user reaches a website that only requires a password to log in and attempts to save multiple login credentials, he will notice that he is unable to save a second one due to the fact that the Password Manager will prompt to update the current one.

Affected versions

• Nightly v68.0a1
• Beta RC2 v67.0
• Release v66.0.5

Affected platforms

• ALL

Steps to reproduce

1. Reach https://mail.mozilla.org/admin/passwords-dev
2. Input a password and tap Enter.
3. Save the password by the Password Manager prompt.
4. Input a different password and tap Enter.

Expected result

• The user is able to save a second password only credential for the password only login website?

Actual result

• The user isn't able to save a second password on the same password-only login website, because the Password Manager prompts to Update or Don't Update the already existing one. Furthermore, a second set cannot be manually added to the Saved Logins modal.

Regression range

• Not a recent regression.

Additional notes

• Chrome browser would not save a password-only login at all.

This is currently the expected behaviour, one password per username on a site and "" counts as a username.
