are the listed sites the ones in which you have disabled remember password ?

after searching thru i have decided to switch to a different browser

it seems the latest ff version 3.5 is actually a backport for both jaunty and intrepid ... so thats disappointing ...it was released for karmic koala and will feature as its default browser ... so dont want some crappy port

cant decide if i should choose opera or flock ?

i though, flock itself is made from Fx.

as for opera , there are no add-on support.

Firefox is not remembering password even after "Remember passwords for sites" in Tools/Edit-> Options-> Security-> ?

Flock is basically modified Firefox (like Azures & Vuze). I didn't find it any better than Firefox.
Try Opera 10 beta 2. You can also use Opera's the urlfilter in Linux.

I know ... its add on compatible with FF so i thought it might be useful....

Are you guys talking about passwords stored in the browser? specifically FF?

Aren't storing password on your computer or anywhere insecure unless encrypted? Why are you doing it if it is not ?

There is a limited number of add on support for Opera ... all made by the dev team of opera ... as opposed to independent developers for ff

so i went to their site ... downloaded the .deb package

double click = install

looks better than FF

changed skin

pleasently surprised to find wand (auto login feature) comes as part of the browser .... looking thru the add ons now

Roboform and such programs encrypt pssword before storage

must be the same case with FF's default password manager

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
try roboform in windows

you ll Thank (and hopefully rep) me

I don't know much about Linux, but I use an add-on called the Password exporter. It is a nifty little plugin which can export and improt passwords. Recently I uninstalled FF entirely including user settings. But before I did that, I had exported all of my passwords to an XML file. When I re-installed FF, installed this add-on and imported the XML file...worked without any issues.

By default all opera & Fx passwords are unencrypted.there are many programs to retrieve passwords.

U have to use master password feature in Fx to do so.

roboform is more than a pssword storage thing

seeing is believing .... try it !

integrates with FF and all major browsers ........

does it work on 7100RC1?

unfortunately roboform doesn't work with opera. I tried it once and removed it coz of that.

Given rep but I am using linux.

But what is wrong with storing password in default as it also encrypt if you have enabled master option.

opera in Linux ......... Ubuntu 8.10

Attachment 5184

you have set a nice background image

Nothing at all


i wanted other option ...especially auto login feature


what makes roboform special ?

i have an icon in the corner of the browser ..... if i click it it ll show a drop down list of many sites for which i have stored passwords for ....... i simply click on the site i want to go ....... it goes to that site and automatically logs me in without me even clicking the log in button ....
