Description Runar Ingebrigtsen 2009-01-20 20:05:35 UTC
Please describe the problem:
I rely heavily on the built-in password manager in Epiphany to remember my passwords. Unfortunately the password manager does not recognize password fields for a range of sites I use. A few of these are: http://workingwithrails.com and http://vyke.com and http://skandiabanken.no

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enter vyke.com
2. Log in to the web site (assuming you have an account)
3. Use the web site

Actual results:
You get logged in and are able to use the site as it should operate as expected.

Expected results:
On different web sites, the question to remember my password simply isn't asked. As such, the password manager don't remember my password for these sites.

Does this happen every time?
Happens at every visit.

Other information:
The password is remembered at the following sites:
http://safe.tele2.com/no/nor/v2/sc_login.php and http://www.domeneshop.no/ and http://zyb.com

I can't make out from the HTML what makes the faulty sites stand out from the other ones.

Was looking at these. http://workingwithrails.com works with what we have now in master.

The problem with http://vyke.com is that it never submits the form, so the event browsers wait for is just never there. No idea about http://skandiabanken.no, but it seems to be caused by the fact that it does not use normal forms, but java plugins for the login. I would say there's little we can do with those =(.

Sadly we can't fix vyke nor skandiabanken :(.
