Thread: Password and id manager

I use roboform to manage my ids and passwords in windows ...its an indispensable tool to me (and for anyone using the internet) ... i was looking for a good substitute in Linux ... I have nt yet found any .... do any of you know of a good substitute ?

it should have the following features

-> Automatic Login/single click login
-> secure server where our passwords will be stored
-> Auto form fill is a plus
-> portability will be a plus (remote synchronization of profiles like

if you use roboform you ll know what i am expecting

what are the supported browsers ?

and is it better than things like Xmarks and lastpass, which store ur password online ?

----

sorry i didn't see you were asking questions yourself.

Roboform is the best there is ... but there is no linux version

roboform stores your password locally .... i dont trust online password storage servers , they are target for many hackers

but you also have the option of storing online so you can syn it with other computers elsewhere

All major browsers .... i use it for FF

hey shadow,

check this one,

Sxipper: FAQ

haven't used it myself, jus came accross. and it seems to support importing roboform stuff.

have a doubt

I visited some sites requiring registrations .... i logged in and selected "Never remember the password for this site ".... Now i want it to remember my password but it has stopped asking "Do you want FF to remember the password for this site "

How do i get it to remember the password for this site ?

Yes, I'm also facing the same problem. Haven't found a solution for that. Gonna google again and see.

I found "secure login" an add on which works with FF's download manager .......thats y i need an answer to that question asap

OOppps.. damn

Well I tried this by myself, so its open to interpretations

- I deleted an exiting ID from my password manager, and went to the corresponding site, it asked the question to save password.

- I searched for a file "signons*", where * = any random number assigned by Fx, from the partition where Fx was installed.

I got one signons1.txt, opened it and found out that one partitcular site where i disabled the save feature was listed. it was listed right on top . removed it and saved. now working.

signons1.txt

disabled site one -->deleted
disabled site two


someother stuff

If you mean "Firefox" then, Tools/Edit-> Options-> Security-> Exceptions. And remove the website from Exception list.

yep, what you said is right. I confirmed with signons*.txt !

thanks

Exception list is empty ?

Are you on linux ?

it worked for me , just now checked it.

something is wrong with my FF

what version are you using ?

it saves the username only but not the password for all sites ..... my passwword manager shows 0 stored passwords

btw i saw that for some sites password save option does not appear as it is requested by the site to be so.

to disable such a feature you can use this method

In Firefox's nsLoginManager.js file, comment out the following lines:

if (element && element.hasAttribute("autocomplete") &&
element.getAttribute("autocomplete").toLowerCase() == "off")
return true;

The nsLoginManager.js file can be found in Firefox's "components" folder, which varies in location from system to system. On Linux, the command "locate nsLoginManager.js" will tell you right where it is.

using Fx 3,13 in windows.

did you change anything else in signons*.txt ? or was it empty when you opened it ?

i dont even know where the FF is installed in my Ubuntu

but it somehow remembers the usernames of all sites i visit !

:29:

the usernames are stored by the site

FF has nothing to do with it

then clearing cookies and cache will remove it,isn't it ?

yeah ... but how do i make FF ask me for saving passwords ?

clueless about linux Fx.

did ya search for signons*.txt ?

where is it in Linux ?
