39345 - "Save my password" checkbox needs to be removed from Account Setup Wizard UI spec

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect, P2)

Description

[esther]

Using builds 2000-05-12 on win98, linux and mac, In the Account Setup Wizard 
the user is giving a check box to "Save My Password".  In the current spec for 
Password Manager it states:  
"Users can not store a password in the Password Manager database during the 
Account Setup Wizard."    Note: we may not allow them to store it in the Account 
Settings dialog either, per spec, still TBD.  When spec is changed please 
reassisgn to alecf to remove it from the product.  
Note: if this doesn't get in before PR2 the behavior of this check box should be 
the same as bug 39338 when it's resolved.

1. Launch Netscape 6
2. Create a New Profile and Launch it
3. Select Mail from the Tasks menu
4. Create a new mail account using the account wizard that comes up 
automatically.  
5. Enter data for each dialog and click Next.
6. On the Name and Password section you will see the check box "Save my 
password".  It should be removed.

Adding nsbeta2 because bug 39338 has nsbeta2. If bug 39338 is accepted and 
fixed, this has to be removed or have the same functionality as bug 39338

Putting on [nsbeta2+] radar for beta2 fix.

Kevin, do we want Password Manger to work with the Account Wizard and Account 
Settings dialogs?

Account Wizard has a textfield and checkbox where users can enter and save their 
password.  If they check this box, the "blue box" would open.  Maybe we don't 
want to let users save their password here in order to reduce complexity (having 
a dialog popup during a Wizard).

Account Settings.  Similar issues here.

Account Settings spec updated for both the Account Settings dialogs and the 
Account Wizard.  Remember my password stuff all removed.

Opps. This was assigned to me to update the spec. Spec was updated but this 
never got assigned back to alec to implement.  Assigning back to alec. Sorry 
about that.

Reopening because the Save Password checkbox is still in the Account Wizard.

I wouldn't pull the beta off the wire for the remaining part of this problem.
Alec says he has it fixed in his tree. We'll take it for beta3.

When the password stuff comes off this panel, the title of the panel, "User Name 
and Password" should be changed to "User Name".
