Title: Another Problem Site
Post by: John Liebson on February 28, 2007, 05:25:32 PM: I'm having problems with https://myportal.medicare.gov (https://myportal.medicare.gov) . I did enter a URL pattern for the site, but I cannot get PWM to recognize either of the two log-on boxes.

The password must start and end with a letter, so it seemed easiest to create my own password, enter it into the relevant log-on box and then save it as an Advanced Auto-Populate entry. However, I cannot figure out why PWM will not create the entry when I enter the password and click on the box.

(In regards to the password, is there a way to force PWM to create such a password, one that starts and ends with a letter?)

In addition, I cannot get PWM to recognize the log-on box for my Medicare account number.

Perhaps PWM is too young for Medicare? Perhaps someone can resuscitate PWM to work on this site?

PasswordMaker can only handle frames one level deep. That site appears to be 5 (!!!) levels deep, though the site I have issues with is only 3 I think, maybe just 2.

I'm counting every frameset tag as a level, so any site with frames has at least one level.

I could, but shall refrain from, asking if your reply is on the level....

Thanks for the quick reply; the problem certainly had me puzzled and frustrated. That a government site is only five levels deep is hardly surprising. For example, I was sent a temporary password, which I used to log in and change to my own password. At that point, I got some sort of error message, telling me to go back, which I did; at that point, I was correctly logged in despite the error message.

(I have not tried logging on again with my own password; wonder if it will now work.)

There was one message waiting for me, a standard "welcome to this site" type of message. I skimmed it, then tried to delete it; that attempt engendered an error message that another user had modified the message and, therefore, I could not delete it.

Yes, use the prefix and suffix fields to hard-code letters for the start and end, or change the character set until you get a password meeting the criteria you want.

Thanks for the follow up; it won't work on the site in question, of course, but I shall attempt to remember this for other sites that require such passwords.

Post by: VWFeature on February 11, 2008, 04:10:44 PM: FF's built in password manager didn't recognise the

User Id:
Password:
    fields here:

https://commerce.health.state.ny.us/hpn/

Would PWM be able to manage this site? I'm curious what is going wrong here:

With the following code:
<tr>

<td colspan="5">
    <table width="720" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="359"><div align="center"><img src="/images/logo/large_logo.gif" alt="hcs logo" width="309" height="223" hspace="25" vspace="25" /></div></td>
           <form name="WaarpLogin" method="post" autocomplete="off" action="/pages/waarp_login.cgi" target="_top" id="WaarpLogin">
<td width="361">
<table width="248" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
   <tr>
   <td width="70" height="33" class="form_text"><div align="right">User Id:</div></td>

                           <td width="178" height="33"><div align="left"><span class="left_box_text"><input name="userid" type= "text" class= "form_text" size="35" maxlength="8" /></span></div></td>
                        </tr>
<tr>
   <td height="33" class="form_text"><div align="right">Password:</div></td>
                           <td height="33"><div align="left"><span class="left_box_text"><input name="password" class="form_text" size="35" maxlength="32" type="password" /></span></div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
   <td class="form_text"> </td>

<td><div align="right"><span class="left_box_text"><input name="Action" value= "none" type= "hidden" /> <input value="Sign In" class= "button" type="submit" /></span></div></td>
</tr>
            <tr>
            <td class="form_text"> </td>
            <td class="small_note_text"> </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
            <td class="form_text"> </td>


            </tr>

Thanks for your work on this!
Somehow medicine-related sites manage to find new and ingenious ways to do it wrong.....
