291746 - Password manager does not store/remember router passwords

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 222589

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[Peter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

After changing from Mozilla Suite to firefox I found that password manager does
not handle passwords for my router correctly.
Firstly it does not remember the login password for the router which is just a
password field without a username.
Secondly it does not handle the password in the ISP dialog.
I have an SMC router and the ISP dialog has 3 fields.
1. An identifier "ISP name" 
2. The account login "Username"
3. The password "Password"
Firefox does not even ask to remember the password.
It stores the form data for ISP name and Username though.
Mozilla did have no problem with either of the 2 password dialogs.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter router password
2. Go to WAN - ISP dialog
3. Enter ISP name, user name and password

Actual Results:  
Passwords fields are not filled the next time I enter those dialogs

Expected Results:  
Remember and fill passwords as Mozilla does

Both cases would require a better heuristic for detecting what form elements
should be saved and which should not, which falls under bug 222589.
