VMWare Infrastructure is a software that allows the user to remotely connect to virtual machines (http://www.vmware.com).
Having installed it, the logon credentials next to the Login Name and Password fields do not seem to be recognized. The toolbar is not displayed the first time either.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install VMWare Server.
2. Go to the logon which is commonly https://<computer name>:8333/ui/# or
http://<computer name>:8222/ui/#
3.Update user name and password to logon.
These are usually the OS logon credentials on the hosting <computer name>. In my case I use the Administrator logon.
Actual Results:
Password manager does not prompt to remember password. Password is not automatically retrieved upon subsequent logons.
Expected Results:
Password manager prompts for password as other websites.

As I don't have access you have to do this:
Open the page where you enter the username/password, press ctrl+U (view source), hit ctrl+f (find) and enter "autocomplete" as search term.
Mark this bug invalid if there is a "autocomplete = OFF".Please save the login page and attach it (using the add an attachment link in this bug report) if you can't find a autocomplete=off.

There is an autocomplete=off there, not plain in the HTML but in this javascript
function turnAutoCompleteOff() {
document.loginForm.setAttribute('autocomplete','off');
}
which is always executed.
Jon, you can override it with this bookmarklet
https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password
Just need to use it once to get your credentials into the password manager.

Just for reference: The current code looks rather different, but still the password manager (in 91.12.0 ESR) does not work.

(In reply to Ulrich Windl from comment #4)
When I tried the bookmarklet for the recent vSphere login mask in the recent ESR Firefox, there was no dialog asking to remember the credentials.

It seems the code of the bookmarklet does (no longer) work for this form.
