User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.7) Gecko/20100713 Firefox/3.6.7 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0C)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.7) Gecko/20100713 Firefox/3.6.7 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0C)
I use several sites that do not use subdomains, they use subdirectories, so instead of:
forum.example.com
pma.example.com
wiki.example.com
it would be:
www.example.com/forum
www.example.com/phpMyAdmin (of course with a changed link for security purposes)
www.example.com/wiki
(I actually prefer subdomains because they are easier to return to the main website, just delete the tail end of the URL, not having to highlight the subdomain and type www or delete it entirely assuming the nameservers are set up right, but alas this is off topic)
So when I go to save passwords for both the forums and phpMyAdmin, or the forums and the wiki, it does not save them as different Users with different passwords, rather usernames overlap. For instance having an Administrator account on forums and wiki or a username the same on forums and phpMyAdmin will prompt for a password change.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install phpBB3/MediaWiki/phpMyAdmin or any other software package that can be installed in a subdirectory on a server.
2. Create an account with the same name on two of these with different passwords.
3. Log into one account, save your password, then try logging onto another with the same username.
Actual Results:
Firefox will prompt you if you want to change that user's password for the entire website.
Expected Results:
The software should have stored the website specific to the directory, in the Saved Passwords... window:
Site Username Password
http://www.example.com/forum/ Administrator ************
http://www.example.com/forum/ NickSolin ************
http://www.example.com/phpMyAdmin/ root ************
http://www.example.com/phpMyAdmin/ NickSolin ************
http://www.example.com/wiki/ Administrator ************
http://www.example.com/wiki/ root ************
