More work than FF password manager

Posted by activemind on March 21, 2006

Okay so it seems as if it is going to be more work to make my extension login to the Cingular Orange website than just the Firefox password Manager. Cingular seemed to have done some kind of trick by splitting the wireless number into 3 parts and firefox can only remember 1 id and 1 password…so I am kind of stuck….
The support Mod at MozillaZine forum suggested some more options but that is something completly new and I am going to have to learn how to do that.
Here is the thread you can follow for more information:

No release today (Tue)

Posted by activemind on March 21, 2006

We would have to skip the release slated for this Tue because of the password issue I mentioned in my previous post. I am working on it and have a couple of options in mind but they need more work than what I had anticipated. Hopefully, I should will have something working by this Thu.
Hang in there!!

Cingular Website and Firefox Password Manager

Posted by activemind on March 21, 2006

So I did a test code for Cingular Orange and Mike was helping me test it. It turns out that Firefox Password Manager does not remember the login info for the Cingular Orange website completly. You can try this yourself. Goto cingular Orange login website and enter your information. Do not check the option to remember the wireless number. Now when you press ok FF will prompt you if you want to remember this password. Say yes. Now you will be logged in.
Open another window and FF should be able to fill in all your info by itself but instead it gives only the last 4 digits of the wireless number you entered. So thats my problem..FF does not have the complete info stored.
You can also verify this by going to FF Tools->Options and then privacy. Open the saved password thing and look for Cingular. You would notice that it has only the last 4 digits of your wireless number saved in there.
So this is the problem I am struggling with right now. Anyone have any insights into a workaround for this?
