217439 - Firebird offers to remember empty password

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.livejournal.com/users/jesserud/417.html?replyto=417
2. Click "Preview"

Result: Firebird asks if I want to save a password.

If I stay logged in to livejournal, livejournal selects the "Logged in user:
jesserud" radio button for me.  (That option is hidden if you're not logged in.)
 So even though I'm submitting a form with username and password fields, the
password field is not relevant when I submit the form.  But the problem isn't
relevance detection; the problem is offering to save empty passwords, which is
useless.

This bug was introduced between 08/11 and 08/13, probably with the "new password
manager" checkins.  It's still present in 08/26.
