233043 - password is not saved on my bank's online banking page

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[Mike]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040119 Firebird/0.8.0+

I've read through other password problem bugs and I can't seem to find an exact
match for behavior.

I login normally with my member number and pin but firebird does not store them
nor prompt to store them.  All of my other web sites (so far) work.

Any thoughts?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to https://www.secumdhb.org/onlineserv/HB/Signon.cgi
2. Enter 6-digit numeric number in "Member ID"
3. Enter alphanumeric password for "eSECU pin"

Actual Results:  
I log in fine and page loads successfully.

Expected Results:  
Firebird to prompt me to save my password and then load the page as normal.

This is made so by design, the form on that page has autocomplete="off".

Comment 2

[Gilles Durys]

Like José said, the form tag has an autocomplete attribute set off and Firebird
respect that.

There a pref for overriding that in Mozilla, but I don't know if Firebird has a
way to do so.

This is essentially a dupe of bug 222367. You have to search for resolved and 
verified bugs as well. 
 
Firebird obeys autocomplete="off" since it was found to be necessary for some 
banking sites to even support/allow Netscape 6/7. 
 
You can use Jesse Ruderman's password bookmarklet to work around this, but I 
should caution you first - think about what you are doing; you are 
automatically filling out your login to a banking site, not some webmail or 
forum site.
