45345 - If PSM encryption is on, Password Manager breaks

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Security: UI, defect, P3)

Description

[johng]

Password Manager in Mail and Navigator work fine UNLESS the preference to
encrypt the local data (aka use cartman/ single sign-on).  Then Password Manager
does not work at all.

Build 2000071208

Reproduce:
- Check preferences/ advanced/ Forms and Passwords.  Make sure that Password
Manager is on and Encryption vs Obscuring is off.  Restart if necessary.
- Log into bugzilla or your email account.  In both cases, click the button or
check box so that Password Manager will save the info.
- Log out.
- Go back to log in.  Notice that is works correctly since the password info is
automatically filled in.
- Now go back to prefs and turn Encryption vs Obscuring on.  You may have to
restart.
- Repeat steps above.  Notice that Password Manager does *not* save the
information, you have to type it in manually.

Not sure if this is a PSM problem or a Navigator/ Mail problem with Single
Sign-on.  cc'ing some folks.

I wonder if this could be related to bug 41024.

Sounds like this might be related to that nsbeta2+ bug 41024 since I did
occassionally get a "PSM unexpectedly quit" warning message.  But not a dupe.

Putting on [nsbeta2-] radar.  Not critical to beta2.  Adding "relnote" keyword 
for PR2 release.

Worksforme. There is usually a crash when encrypting the passwords, but what I'm 
seeing is that the next time I go to yahoo mail, the form is already filled in.

Verified.

Is that it?  You reported a crash yet you closed out this bug report.  Are you 
at least going to open a new bug for the crash and indicate that bug number in 
this report?

Bug 45431 is open - "Use encryption when storing sensitive data" crashes PSM.
