507130 - Upgrade for SM 2.0b lost password

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 482443

Description

[Boris 'pi' Piwinger]

I upgraded using the automatic process from 2.0a to Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.1pre) Gecko/20090717 SeaMonkey/2.0b1. Before that I had my account number stored in password manager for https://www.cortalconsors.de/euroWebDe/-, since I have made the upgrade it is lost (it got actually deleted!) and is not saved anymore, when I log in again.

Is this some additional info to a "username"+password that was stored in the old password manager? Or does the form state that we aren't allowed to autocomplete/save the fields? If so, this is not something that will likely be fixed and is not blocking, but there are probably other bugs on file that this should be duped to.
If this is a normal username+password entry form and the site doesn't state that we aren't allowed to autocomplete/save it, then we should look into that.

See Bug 486829 Comment 3? Dupe of that one (that is your bug btw ;)?

I am not aware of any additonal information. Since the entry was deleted (!) I cannot give you any detail. It and stopped suddenly with the upgrade.

I don't think it is a dupe since it did work with the alpha version. I cannot recall what happend to make bug 48629 work again, but it did. Easybank still works.

Did you happen to back up your profile prior to upgrading to 2.0b1? If so could go back to alpha and try the upgrade again and see if it loses the password again. If it does then we can assume it is reproducible and then see if we can find a regression window, if does not then we may have trouble resolving the issue.

I do have the password file from 1.x still. I might find somewhere an old copy of the whole old profile. I don't have the file from alpha anymore.

Looking for "autocompleteoverride" workaround? See bug 425145...

[Robert Kaiser]

As long as we don't have clear steps to reproduce, we can't even consider this for blocking a release.

[Boris 'pi' Piwinger]

Well, at least the password is not stored. This you can try.

From looking at bug 425145 I don't understand the workaround.

Not saving/storing the password is bug 486829: don't mix issues.

(Here, we need you/someone to reproduce/confirm.)

It's simply a bookmark(s) to add to your profile then use...

Thanks, that works nicely.

I suspect that's another case of the import code from an older format to the sqlite format having issues, so it's a dupe of bug 482443.
