Title: Gmail user name
Post by: turret on October 01, 2007, 04:50:47 PM: Hi

This is a simple question, but I can't find the answer anywhere. I have installed PWM on firefox, on a mac running os x.

I have followed the advice to set up a new email account - Gmail - for testing and learning the program.

PWM will enter the password for the new account, but not the user name. Since the user name is fairly lengthy - short names seem to have been used up on gmail - I would like PWM to remember the username as well, but it doesn't.

(Should mention, I already have a gmail account)

PWM only autopopulates the password field. Am I doing something wrong?

Cheers,

Turret

Anyway, I've got PWM to automatically log me in to my new gmail account now - time for some more testing!

Hi turret,

There is a screenshot of the Advanced Settings on this wiki page (http://passwordmaker.org/Screenshots)...

Scroll down to see the one with the username ...

Also - we just switched to the new website/wiki - http://passwordmaker.org - so the instructions are all pretty much up to date now... and please feel free to update anything that you think could be made clearer

I highly recommend you read a little on the differences between Basic and Advanced settings (http://passwordmaker.org/Firefox/Mozilla/SeaMonkey/Flock/Netscape/GettingStarted#Basic_and_Advanced_Modes_-_Differences)...
