Saving passwords

[r***@optonline.net]

Why is it that some sites I go to that need sign in, Seamonkey lets me save the
password and sign on information (Windows 7, a box pops up in the upper right
asking if I want to remember the info), and some don't allow it. An example is
my bank. I can't save the information and have to log in manually each time I go
to the site. Whereas American Express remembers all the info and I just have to
click Sign In and I go to the site. I'm not worried about security, it's only me
on this computer.

I have a similar experience except my Credit Union I can access, but not
my credit card with Chase.com

I think that it all depends on the method of how they are requesting the
password. Javascript request, not a problem, however, .asp/php or other
scripts probably pose a problem. It isn't just seamonkey/firefox, but
IE also.

Some sites set attributes that forbid saving the passwords, and all
major browsers follow them.

There is some code out there that will override the attributes and allow
you to save passwords on some sites.

Use it at your own risk.

It doesn't work on all websites because some sites use different methods.

I ran into the exact same problem and got pissed,so watched carefully.
Seems ALL https sites have this problem,so it is SM that is
barfing,not the site.

Had the same problem, found that all https sites acted that way and
no "standard" http sites gave that problem.
Someone pointed me to an attachment which solved the problem.
In one eye and out the other; dunno what i used.
