Unfortunately, Moz asks me if I want to remember the password immediately upon submit - when I don't necessarily know that the password is correct yet. I think a better behavior would be for the password manager to pop up on the *next* page, asking if you want to store the information just entered. This way, I can see if the password was in fact correct. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

If the password was wrong and you try again, the second saved password for the same site and username will overwrite the first. So there's no reason to fear saving the guessed passwords.

Thanks. Should this be made a little clearer in the dialog that pops up?

Reassigning unconfirmed form and password manager bugs to the new owner

Re: comment #1, I think we still need a confirmation. Moving the dialog to the following page would save users from having to go through the prefs to find and delete the incorrect saved passwords. Another possibility would be to ask the user if he/she would like to replace the existing saved password (rather than add another one) when something different from the previously-saved username/password combination is entered. With this solution, I'm not sure what could be done if the user already has more than one combination saved, and just wants to replace one of them but not remove the rest.

when one uses a different username it does not overwrite the previous entry. password save dialog should pop after page load.. list of existing usernames/passwd (maybe user should decide if it's okay to show passwords, or wildcards, or none) pairs should also appear with correct overwrite behavior (confirmation).

This is as designed. If you get the password wrong it will be corrected when you get it right.
