Title: The <ALT>~ bug is back
Post by: Romeo on February 23, 2006, 10:43:33 PM

Eirc, I installed beta 3 in my test profile and it appears that when I use the <ALT>~ keyboard combination, the password des not get populated.  Instead of the password, the correct username gets entered into both fields.  When I then enable the auto-populate feature and hit <CTRL> R to refresh, it works just fine.

So, it appears that the bug, which you fixed earlier, raised its ugly head again.  :reallysad:  :reallysad:

Thank god! I was starting to panic--I can't reproduce it, either.

I just tried it again to make sure that I didn't mess up somewhere, but it still doesn't work.  In some cases, it puts the username in both fields and in some, it just puts the username in the username field.

I must be doing something wrong, if you guys can't reproduce.  The functionality in general, seems to be the same as in previous versions, correct?

For reference, All forms of usernames & password population are working for me with the latest beta.

Hi Romeo,

You've yet to provide any specific details. Can you please provide the following info?

• A URL where the problem occurs
• Are you matching the URL with the Default Settings or a custom account?
• If using custom accounts for this URL, how many accounts match?
• Do you have Automatically populate username and password fields for sites that contain this URL checked?
• Do you have any custom auto-populate fields defined for the relevent account(s)/Default Settings?
• Which version of PasswordMaker and browser are you using?

Thanks,
Eric

Eric,

These are all custom accounts.  I do not use auto populate for these accounts.  One URL, for example would be http://www.bankofamerica.com/ (http://www.bankofamerica.com/) with that exact string for when URL contains.  In this particular case, I have two accounts matching this URL.  In another case, I have only one URL match the setup.  And I do not use any autopopulate fields.  As for the version, this only happens in the latest, the beta3.  My 1.4.4 beta1 works just fine.

Thanks,

Romeo

Sorry, but that was me.

Romeo,

Alt-` works for me at http://www.bankofamerica.com/ (http://www.bankofamerica.com/). I created a single, custom account with When URL Contains and Use This URL both equal to http://www.bankofamerica.com/. I set a username to grimholtz.

Then I manually navigated to http://www.bankofamerica.com/ (http://www.bankofamerica.com/). I pressed Alt-` and was prompted for the master password. I entered (and confirmed) the MPW, and both Online ID: and Enter Passcode: fields were populated.

Do you have your MPW saved to disk/memory? Does it matter if it's saved/not saved? Help me to reproduce this, otherwise I can't fix it!

Regards,
Eric

No Eric, I do not have it saved to disk.  Also, I forgot to menion, I use FF 1.5.0.1.  Again, it works when I have it auto popuolate.  It just doesn't do it with alt ~.  This seems extremely weird to me.

Thanks,

Romeo

Can anyone else replicate this problem with Romeo's specific info (e.g., Bank of America)? I cannot...and without experiencing the bug, there's no way to fix it.

Never mind.  Sorry for the false alarm.  I tried to install it on a fresh/new profile and it works just like it's supposed to.  I guess the profile I installed it on, is totally hosed.

I just created a new 'test' profile and it seems to work.

Thanks for all your concern.    :D

Eric,

Nice reply.  That's how I feel.

But joking aside, if I didn't want to start with a new profile, because I do not want to reinstall the other extensions I have, what would I need to do to clean my profile, to make it such that I start from scratch with PasswordMaker?

Thanks for the reply,

Romeo

Just delete passwordmaker.rdf and it starts from scratch. With passwordmaker.rdf gone, PasswordMaker behaves exactly as if it had been installed in a new profile.

Eric, thanks for the prompt reply.  Sorry I didn't get back to you you with a thank you  sooner, but, as they say in the radio and tv world, I had to pay some bills.

Regards,

Romeo
