Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[Doug]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

After I enter my master password, Firefox occasionally reveals a caombination of
my username and password in the username input box.
For example, if my username is "blah" and my password is "1234blah"
then when I focus on the site username input box, Firefox password manager
automatically fills "blah1234blah".


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.goto webmail.prosrm.com
2.Focus username box
3.
It happens on several sites too. But I can't remember which one right now.

Actual Results:  
Combination of username and password appear in the username box in clear text.

Expected Results:  
only fills the username

Is it possible you typed the combined string into the box once (perhaps going
quickly and missing the tab between fields)? If so it may be captured by the
"Form Fill" feature, not the password manager. You can clear all form fill data
from the options dialog, or delete individual items from a dropdown list using
shift-delete.

The logon form for the mentioned https://webmail.prosrm.com has the
autocomplete="off" attribute on the password field, so the password manager
shouldn't even come into play on this site (and doesn't for me).

Thanks,
I think your comment is correct.
I am using a different machine now. I tried to goto webmail.prosrm.com again and
purposely enter the combination. I failed to logon of course. The issue occurs
as you say.

I will try on the machine which I found the problem again and let you know.

Closing for now, reopen if you can reproduce the originally described complaint.
