242479 - Offer to Save Password Occurs Too Soon

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 226735

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[rich cowan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; DIL0001021)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

Firefox should not offer to save a password until the authentication takes 
place.  It allows you to type in the wrong password and then confirm that you 
want to save it.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://nosi.aristoi.biz/pvt/home
2. try to log in with a bogus password
3.



Expected Results:  
The software should wait until the next page loads (or until a significant 
chunk, like the first 40K, is loaded).  Then if no 404 error or authentication 
error is reported, it should pop up with the "do you want to save the password" 
message.

This affects all windows builds, probably others too.

I like this idea.  Firefox probably can't detect whether the login was
successful, but the user should be able to tell by looking at the resulting page.
