532443 - Two logins and passwords cannot be saved on website that uses different page for login and password entry.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, enhancement)

Description

[Martin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2b4) Gecko/20091124 Firefox/3.6b4 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2b4) Gecko/20091124 Firefox/3.6b4 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

On a webpage that uses two different pages for the Username and Password entry, Firefox will not remember two usernames and passwords, only one username and password combination will be remembered, using a second username will prompt the first password.

Example website where the issue can be noticed: www.neopets.com

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create two accounts on the Neopets website. (www.neopets.com)
2. Login using the first combination of Login and Password
3. Have Firefox remember the password combination.
4. Logout, then Login with the second account.
5. Notice that the password for the second account cannot be saved.
Actual Results:  
When using the second login/password, Firefox prompts the user to change the currently saved password, which will overwrite the password of the first saved account.

Expected Results:  
As seen with websites like Facebook, two seperate logins both have separate passwords. As such, when one login is entered in the login field, the proper password is applied in the password box.

Perhaps adding an option to Manually add passwords and logins for select sites, as well as Manually adding a new login/password combination in the "Saved Password" box would fix this.
Thank you for your hard work!

We're not going to support multiple-page logins.

Though it sounds like the real problem is that login manager sees this as a password-only login, and we don't have any way to choose which password to use when there are multiple password-only logins available. Bug 433238 will address that.
