password is managed by password manager. check if you have Password Manager
enabled (edit | preferences | privacy & security | passwords | remember passwords).

pls resolve this bug as invalid if your password manager is not enabled.

Password Manager *is* enabled, but doesn't seem to do anything either. There's
nothing in the "Manage" list for that site and there doesn't seem to be a way of
capturing data when both "user id" and password are in input_type="password"
fields. Form and password manager appear to be tripping over each other.

<input type="password"> it the key that the password manager uses to see that it
is an username / password form.
With two password fields, it assumes it is a sign-up form with a
confirm-password field. It ignores that, and only captures when you log in the
first time. So maybe this is a case of password manager trying to bo too smart,
but i think it is ok. This page is just a very special one.

Okay, that explains why, but it doesn't help me much. My main problem is the
password is a pain to remember, so I'd *really* like to be able to get auto-fill
to work for this page....
