157387 - "Remember values filled in", more detailed options to choose

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 101664

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, enhancement, P4)

Description

[scut]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020615
Debian/1.0.0-3
BuildID:    1.0.0

When filling a form, like user logins to webpages, it is often inconvenient to
fill in all the values manually again and again. Mozilla provides a feature to
remember the values filled in. However, this feature only has three possible
answers "Remember", "No" and "Never for this site". Which is sometimes enough,
but it would be way more useable if it had a checkbox or a fourth answer:

"Only remember cleartext (visible typed) form elements"

Which would allow you to let mozilla fill in the login name for example, but not
entering the password (which is not visibly typed in). Or for banking accounts,
you could let fill in the account number, but not the PIN. It would be very
useful and not too complicated to implement.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a webpage with a form with cleartext and "*-out" elements
2. Enter something into both fields
3. Submit the form
