Epiphany Remember Passwords feature not functioning
Last modified: 2016-06-15 22:01:12 UTC
Please describe the problem: Epiphany with webkit (not sure about gecko) does not remember passwords when the "remember passwords" option is enabled. Steps to reproduce: 1. Navigate to any site with a login 2. Login 3. Quit epiphany 4. Launch it again, navigate to the site, and you must login again. Actual results: You have to login again, epiphany doesn't remember the password or the username. Expected results: Epiphany to remember the password. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
Which back-end are you using? Which version? Have you pressed the Remember button when Epiphany asked whether to remember the password?
I am using the WebKit backend, I'm not sure what you mean by what version, what version of WebKit? I build it from the git. And Epipahny never asks me to remember the password when I enter one.
-> Backend:WebKit
We have persistent cookies now, so sites with auto-login will log you in as usual, which I think is what this bug was about. Closing as FIXED.
Hm, isn't this bug about the password forms that get filled in automatically?
Well, the initial report is bit unclear about that. To me it seems like its both missing persistent coockies and username/password saving. For the later, I believe this webkit commit might be relevant: http://cia.vc/stats/project/WebKit/.message/220733b
Well, the reporter said "you have to log in again", which implies that he expected epiphany to log-in for him. That's solved with cookies, because neither HTTP auth (which is now in) neither form auto-filling (which is not yet done) will log-in for you.
Well, HTTP auth *will* log-in for you, but only in the same session, and the reporter was talking of quitting and launching epiphany.
Sure. I just interpreted the bug differently by reading the introduction. I have no problem with leaving this closed (but still want password saving ;-)) "Epiphany with webkit (not sure about gecko) does not remember passwords when the "remember passwords" option is enabled."
Epiphany 3.10.3 do not remember logins (usernames / passwords) for me in a fresh profile. Can anyone please re-open this bug?
I was wrong, this was a site specific bug, not related to Epiphany. Sorry.
