177856 - no option to use Password Manager for email/news only

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 90338

(SeaMonkey :: Passwords & Permissions, defect)

Description

[Jim Carlson]

I find that Password Manager is very useful for POP/SMTP/NNTP servers, but I
dislike using it for Web Sites.  Consequently, I don't like to be asked whether
I want to use it every time I login to a web site, although I do want it enabled
for Email/News/etc.  Could this be an option in the Preferences panel?  That is,
enable password manager for everything but web sites (or HTTP(S), or however
that would break down).

Also, in case you're wondering, the reason I don't like using it for websites is
that in general, whenever I type in a username/password into some site, I have
about 60% confidence that I've chosen the right pair.  In these situations, I
don't want PM to remember this invalid login.  (Ironically, this inability to
remember passwords is exactly what PM is supposed to help me with, so this is
kind of an end-user bootstrapping issue.  But I think there are many like me who
will be late/never-adopters of PM for web site forms, but definitely want their
email/news passwords remembered.)
