"Eric,"
When first using 'PassWordMaker' there were some accounts created but were deleted from the AdvancedOptions window. Now when using the account that was kept the other one is displayed as one of my choices and is rotated to the top the next time that URL is accessed. How would I remove that other un-usable account? Where would I go to take it out?
-
In the 'Advanced Settings' window, simply click the Account in question and 'Delete Selection' (or right-click on it and 'Delete Selection') - unless I am misunderstanding you?

I think you are mis-understanding, I did do the delete thingy after deciding what I had was not right. It did disappear from the window and I created another and saved it. Now when I right click on the username field when entering a forum I get the one I deleted and the one I saved. This was done during v0.8.2 or 3 cannot remember how far back it was.
TIA,

Hi LkonKbd,
That was Charles (tanstaafl) helping you earlier, not me :), and he gave you good advice.
I checked the code in the latest version and can't find anything which would cause the problem you describe, but you should upgrade to the the newest version when you have a chance...

Weird - I missed that part about having already deleted the account. I haven't seen this either...
Which version of PasswordMaker are you using LkonKbd? What OS/version?
-
"tanstaafl" & "Eric",
Excuse me for not answering sooner, have been working with a different software.
"tanstaafl" also you please excuse me for that error in my reply to you and put Eric there.
To answer several questions, Win98SE v4.10.2222A on an AMD K6-2 3D sound. PasswordMaker v0.8.6, if there is a later version will collect it ASAP. Have not checked in awhile.
Allow me to explain better? I created some accounts, testing to see what was required and how to. I went back and created the accounts I was wanting to keep. While in the window 'PasswordMaker Advanced Options' the ones that were to be removed were highlighted and deleted in turn. They do not show in that window any longer. When accessing one of the URLs that requre a passoword the UserID is typed in by ME, right click on the password field and there are two (2) selections to choose from, even the one I had deleted. I do not select the one that has been deleted ,but; how do I remove it from this selection area?
Have other problems with PWM and will post in a different topic. That is why I did not login.

Hmm... I'm still not sure I understand exactly when this occurs but...
Is it possible what you are seeing is Windows Auto-complete, as opposed to something PasswordMaker is doing?
Meanwhile, I'll set up a clean profile and try to duplicate your situation and get back to you...

Its sounds like you are describing an old account that has been deleted is appearing in the Multi-Account window titled 'Choose Account'. Is that correct?

My question is if you closed FF between the deletion and the 're-occurance' of the deleted account.

By the way, here is a picture of what auto-complete looks like (as mentioned by tanstaafl):

"quixin"
You are so CORRECT, I hate this pantemime game, I just wish the titles of these windows would stay with me longenough to send a message. I get to thinking about what I need to put down and then cannot remember what I was doing. Now, Who AM I? No, just kidding, back to my original problem.
Yes, that is it, ". . . an old account that has been deleted is appearing in the Multi-Account window titled 'Choose Account'."

"Romeo"
Good idea, but; those deletions were done about 3 weeks ago and they are still showing in the "Multi-Account window titled 'Choose Account'" taken from "quixin" message. They are still there!!
Thank you for this idea.
"Eric"
I understand the 'Autocomplete' selection drop down, that is not it.

Ok, I just tested this - added one of my other Yahoo accounts, got the prompt in the 'Choose Account' window as you describe... then deleted the account I just added, and no more prompt (it just auto fills in the only othe rYahoo account I had set up).
So, I am unable to duplicate your problem...
How long have you been using PM? If you've been using it for a while, could it be some kind of corruption in the RDF file caused by changes to PM over its different versions? Maybe the Account was created in an older version, and deleted in a newer?
I dunno... "it works for me"...
Sorry I couldn't be more help...

I would suggest creating a new Firefox profile and install PasswordMaker. Go back over the same steps you used before and see if you get the same problem.

Good advice, quxin, but his bookmarks and other extensions won't be in the new profile (if he has any, that is). I'd create a new Firefox profile only as a last resort. Before you do that, LkonKbd, make sure you manually delete passwordmaker.rdf as we're discussing simultaneously in this thread (http://forums.passwordmaker.org/index.php?showtopic=425).

"Eric"
I send my apologies for the dual discussion on this subject. I have been running in circles this evening.
I will work on that removing the "*.rdf" file and will let you know what the results are, later.
First, I am going to sleep on this tonight and work on it tomorrow my mind is running after some electrons orbiting an atom at this time. Too many ideas and too many problems. Will have to work on them one at a time so the confusion is limited to only ME and not with the problems.
Have a good evening and Thank You each and everyone that had ideas on this.

CU L8R,
All that have attempted to assist me on this,
After doing some research on my installations and messages since the start of my use of PasswordMaker is about 9/12/2005 v0.8.2 was my first download. That is where I had created some accounts and did some deletions. I also downloaded v0.8.3 thru v0.8.7 as they were released. Some where in the area of v0.8.3 and v0.8.4 maybe is the time frame the deletions took place. Cannot be anymore accurate than that.
As mentioned last nite the '.rdf' file was located and this morn started making some adjustments in my operation of PasswordMaker v0.8.7. Created my accounts again, manually, did do some deletions and so far nothing unusual has appeared. Everythingy has performed as expected, not as it had before. The extra, deleted, accounts are not there.
Thank you 'Eric' for your assistance in locating my 'PasswordMaker.rdf' file was what I needed. Plus the recommendation of NOT creating the new FF profile and having to go through all the HeadAches of recreating all of what is there in my present install of FF. 'quixin' you suggestion is a good idea except for the fact I am not that good at going through all of that again, once is enough for me.
Thank you 'Romeo' for your question, you made me think about my installation and when thingys had taken place.
Thank you 'quixin' for your "Hitting the Nail on the Head"/w "Multi-Account window titled 'Choose Account'". I am so glad that all are so much smarter than I.
Thank you 'tanstaafl' for going to all of the trouble of 'TESTing' my mistakes at least we know it is not in the newest version, just in my ERRORS on my system.
It is all cleared and functioning correctly, from what I can tell if I do not make any more mistakes.
Again Thank You,
CU L8R,

Glad everything is working correctly for you now! It would have been better if we could have pinpointed the source of the problem, but it apparently was just 'one of those things', since no one else has reported experiencing the same thing.
Now, go make some passwords! :nerd:

Thank you I will.
You made one mistake, left out the, "DoNot make any ERRORS."
Thank you,

Well it has happened again to ME!! It must be my system, Win98SE v4.10.2222A, but; quoted from tanstaafl message, "Multi-Account window titled 'Choose Account'" now I have the 'Group' name in there as well as the 'Account' name to choose from. Well I know the 'Group' will not have a password to use so that is not very difficult but why is it giving me this window? It is only doing that on the 'Group' for PassWordMaker.
This did not happen when I had updated to v0.8.7 it was a couple of days later. Maybe I need to go in and remove the '.rdf' file again and then recreate everything recording what steps are taken and we can find this "UnDocumented Feature" creature.
What am I doing WONG er Wrong,
'Eric,'
Actually I have not deleted those other '.rdf' files, changed the names so they would not be recognized by the system. Would you like those files sent to you as an attachment? By way of a PM of course.
Excuse me for this, I forgot to mention this is not from any deletion. It is the display of the 'Group' along with the 'Account' for making my selection. From a 'Choose Account' window.
I await your return,
-
Any chance of a screenshot of this one??
I will be able to spend a bit of time on this tomorrow, though it may have to wait until afternoon.
-
LkonKbd, sure send me the files. That could help. Also, a screenshot like tanstaafl suggests would be very useful.

OK folks from the DUMMY to you on this subject.
Eric,
Which files? Like I said in the opening of this messag "from the DUMMY."
Tanstaafl,
I have not been able to do a screenshot and do you want it of the "Multiple Account" window or of the 'Settings' for one of the PassWords?
I do not have a printer connected to my system and my 'PrintScreen' and 'Ctrl+P' will not give me a screenshot.
I await your return,
-
LkonKbd, if you are on Windows, do Alt <prtscn> and paste in into your favorite graphics application.
Hope that helps.

There's also a great free utility that I use all the time, called ScreenHunter. (http://www.wisdom-soft.com/products/screenhunter_free.htm) Give it a try...

LkonKbd,
Eric,

The old passwordmaker.rdf files you renamed.
-
OK! OK! Folks,
Found my problem with 'ScrnPrnt', dummy dummy, was attempting to Paste it in my TXT editor, real bright. I found my 'Display NotePad' and there it is. Give me a little time to get thingys together and "I will be back" some time.
L8R DUDES,
