with the new password manager it's possible to show the stored passwords. Or that's how the feature is supposed to work at least. I created a new profile, i logon to a site [let's say bugzilla] and do a TOOLS - PASSWORD MANAGER - MANAGE STORED PASSWORDS. In the new window i click SHOW PASSWORDS and i confirm this choice. A new column appears saying PASSWORDS, but this column is fully empty. Can't find this one in bugzilla yet. Screenshot coming up
Confirming with a Linux Gtk2 build from today. The password column is always empty for me.

wfm. Does the javascript console show any errors?

This one's probably for me. Hopefully, I'll find some time to look into it tomorrow. The good news is that I can reproduce the problem with today's nightly on Linux, although it definitely worked with some post-1.7b versions.

This works for me with the latest 1.7 branch build on Linux, but is broken with trunk builds (again on Linux).
Keywords: regression
broken for me too on windows XP with build 2004041917
Just to add to Comment #8, it works fine for me on WinXP with Mozilla 1.7 RC1 (2004042109)
I'm going to download the latest build and check if there was a change, but I was talking about the trunk (1.8a) builds, not the 1.7 branch builds.
Requesting 1.7 blocker. http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.7rc1/README.html#new says that this is one of the new features of 1.7 "Password Manager has a "show passwords" mode which will display saved passwords. You will need to enter your master password if you are using one." One nit, this is perhaps trunk only, so 1.7 branch should be safe? Can this be confirmed?

Broken on Windows and Mac also. OS All is correct.

Just to confirm, passwords column remains empty on the OS X build of Moz 1.8a as of the 20040506 build.
Ho-humm: The patch in attachment 147561 [details] [diff] [review] works just fine (Linux) - thanks :)
(In reply to comment #13) > (In reply to comment #12) > > > > Cancelling blocking request since this bug does not exist on the 1.7 branch. > > Yeah, you confirmed it for Linux, but OS says "ALL" ;) I can confirm that this bug does not exist on Mozilla 1.7_20040516 on Windows XP. It's pretty safe to say that this is not a 1.7 branch bug. Only the trunk.
The password display feature is OK but some clients see it as a security risk... But I guess that is what the Master password is for ..
requesting blocker. This is announced as one of the new features in 1.7. So it shouldn't be broken again in the next one. No workaround available.
Flags: blocking1.8a1?
Confirming bug in 1.8a1, Linux i686 gcc 2.95.3 compiled. Column stays empty.

(In reply to comment #23) > Mozilla 1.8a1 was already released. Darn, can't even turn my back for two days... ;) Anyway, bugzilla still showed that flag as the next one. But let's request 1.8a2 then.

It works for the most part now (OS X trunk builds), but there are a limited number of web sites which do not display the password even though there does appear to be a password present as FF will log into the web site (which requires the password at log in). There must be something still going on to prevent these passwords from being displayed when most are.
