For instance I see only 3 entries there, which relate to banks etc that I chose to enter the password each time. I guess this setting Preferences - security - Passwords Section / Exceptions button remembers the password. I am talking about remembering the *login name which in this case is very long and then i enter a 4 digit password. this is a setting that governs the LOGIN which is the first thing presented when you get to the site. then after you which you enter the password. This is the first question that iceweasel asks not the second thing which is remember the password. Sometimes if you have used multiple usernames and firefox remembers the passwords to more than one, then firefox will make you enter the complete username before it auto fills the password. It this is the case, you will have to delete the extra login name from the remembered passwords list. Also, on the login form, if you press the Down key in the username field, it should show a list of names entered earlier. You can select your id from that list.

The two are inextricably linked; It's possible to have more than one account on a site, with different UIDs and passwords. If only the passwords are stored, how is Iceweasel to know which one is which? Anyhow, there are some sites that, for whatever reason, Iceweasel will not store password or UID/password. It's something to do with the way the relevant login pages are written. -- Regards _ / ) The blindingly obvious is / _)radnever immediately apparent Buy some love at the five and dime You Have Placed A Chill In My Heart - Eurythmics signature.asc Description: PGP signature

If you look at Edit - Preferences - Saved_Passwords... do you see an entry for the library site, possibly with an empty user name? If you delete this entry and afterwards enter username plus password on the site once more then iceweasel should offer you to store the full login credentials again. -- Regards,| http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

If it's filling in the username, but not the password, the site may be remembering you via a cookie. Often there is a 'remember me on this site' checkbox somewhere, but there doesn't have to be.
