Password manager is not inserting password on Secure pages. Or if multiple username and passwords are remember for the same site, option to select the username want to use is not presented. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto Google
2. Create Multiple accounts. 
3. Login to one account.  Remember password.  Logout.  Login to second account. Remember Password.

Actual Results:  
No username / password are auto filled in, nor is a dialog box presented.

Expected Results:  
In Seamonkey 1.x  when revisiting the login page, a dialog box with all remember usernames would pop up allowing you to select which username you wanted to login with.

Does it give you a list of user names when you double-click on the username field or press the down arrow key when focus is on that field?

It does, but it always uses the password of the first username.  I have like 6 different google accounts for tracking purposes.  A couple use the same password, others do not.  The ones that use the same password as the first one,  work,  the ones that dont, fail authentication....

Is a display password in the Password Manager correctly? Tools-Password Manger-Manager stored passwords. Google account Search and click to button Show Passwords.

Can't confirm this for 20090928 2.0pre under Win XP. 

My four google accounts were imported from 1.1.7 and not created under SM2. All Site names in Password Manager are https://www.google.com. Login page used: https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?hl=de&continue=http://www.google.de/webhp%3Fhl%3Dde

Reducing severity to normal.

Please try in Safe mode ( http://kb.mozillazine.org/Talk:Safe_Mode#Safe_Mode_in_SeaMonkey_2 ), or with a new profile ( http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile ).

@Tony

Google has the 'feature' to not forget the user after a 'log out'. 

When you want to log in again in this cases the user name is static content in an hidden field. It gets no input field. The login page has only one input field for the password. This field gets filled with some content, maybe with a password for another Google account. Here it was filled with a search query from the past.

Please try the following steps:
1. Log in on maps.google.DE
2. Log out
3. Open a new browser tab.
4. Type maps.google.COM in the Location bar.
Result: You are still logged on to maps.google.com. (On IE7 you are logged out)

To deliver the matching password SM needs to read the content of the hidden user name field. This would be an enhancement and no bug.

Same and more problems here.

SeaMonkey 2's handling of stored signins and passwords (ported from 1.x) is unpredictable.  Some work just fine, i.e as before.  Other times the signin only appears when I click into the box or sometimes only when I type its first letter.  Sometime the password shows up OK, but sometimes it doesn't.  For some sites (e.g. Facebook) where I've stored 2 IDs, only one shows up.

I'm marking this as WFM, because the original problem from comment 0 is as such.

Please don't pile on multiple issues to a single bug.
