Is this not intentional? The username is part of the form, and is not hidden text? I don't know what the expectations are for this. Are form fields supposed to be stored in one and only one place, so if it's part of a password it's no longer part of the form?

You're the triage owner so I guess you get to say :-) If this is a security bug what severity would you give it? sec-low? sec-moderate? just a privacy problem?

Forms managed by Password Manager encrypt username and password.
Form History should not be involved if form is managed by Password Manager.

At the moment I think this is sec-low. Something that I expect to be encrypted can be found in plain form in another file nearby.

But it may turn to sec-moderate if I can use that username knowledge to figure the encryption key to decrypt password. This is something I still need to review.

I've spoke with crypto folks, they feel current encryption should hold.

Removing security flag due to similar bug 394612 being public already.
