Description Götz Waschk 2009-05-12 05:52:06 UTC 
This is epiphany 2.27.1 on Mandriva Cooker. I cannot save passwords and I'm not even asked by epiphany if I want to.
Comment 1 Xan Lopez 2009-05-12 06:00:56 UTC 
What kind of passwords? HTTP auth is supported, you need to compile WebKitGTK+ with support for it with --enable-gnomekeyring.
Comment 2 Götz Waschk 2009-05-12 06:36:56 UTC 
Yes, for instance the bugzilla password. I have webkit 1.1.6 compiled with keyring support.
Comment 3 Xan Lopez 2009-05-12 06:48:19 UTC 
That's a known issue, yes.
Comment 4 Götz Waschk 2009-05-30 20:10:59 UTC 
still happens in 2.27.2

Still seems to happen in Epiphany 2.28.0. Any news?

When there's progress we'll update the bug, as usual. In any case things like bugzilla work just fine, since you are automatically logged in through cookies.

I have this issue too. I am new to bug reporting in GNOME, so please don't jump down my throat if this is the wrong place.
Comment 9 Ivan Storck 2009-11-08 21:50:05 UTC 
can this bug be moved from unconfirmed to new please?

Currently working on DOM bindings for WebKitGTK+, which should allow us to fix this without ugly hacks. If we can't get that done on time we'll use JSC to detect password forms in pages, and do this anyway for 2.30.

Pushed 4b6b634eafc02928b7865057f6f745f14735a78b implementing saving forms. This is a work in progress, but already works - please test, and report bugs for sites/problems =).
