Previously submitted and summarily rejected for mozilla suite. Here goes:
Problem:
Password manager has often saved bad passwords on me because I was not sure I
entered the right one before I told firefox to save it. Going back and entering
a different password results in having two optional passwords in the manager,
and chances are you'll not be able to tell which one is right because they are
both ****'s in the manager. Then the solutino is to go back, delete both, and
finally enter the correct password a second time.
Solution: It would be easier if password manager would wait for the next page to
load before asking if I want to save the password. Or possibly, make the dialog
independent of page load activity. That way, I can see if I entered the right
or wrong password (behind the dialog) before I choose to save it. With the
current behavior, my choice is a roll of the dice unless I am absolutely sure I
know my password. And it is a pain in the butt correcting the situation once I
have chosen to save a bad one.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to a page that requires a password.
2.enter your id and password and log in
Actual Results:
Password manager pops up before you know if you entered the right password.
Expected Results:
Password manager should wait for the next page to load, so if it is an error
page, you can choose "No" and not accidentally save a bad password.
