When I try it now on Firefox 3.6 then Firefox exhibits the same issues as Chrome. But when I filed the bug my version of Firefox (that came with Ubuntu) didn't have this issue. I logged into openstreetmap.org at the time, had Firefox remember my password and it did that on the login form, but did not fill out any of the password fields in the preferences. Now it does however. Anyway. IMO the best way to solve this issue is to just redesign the preferences so that they have tabs (like e.g. the Twitter preferences do). Then OAuth settings could also be moved from the main user page into the preferences, and anything password-related could have its own tab. I'm not offering patches though:) There's other stuff that needs to be done to the preferences like making the language selection better. I'd file bugs if Tom wouldn't bite my head off :) ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

I've just checked on another site that (irritatingly) doesn't have my password autofilled, and it has autofill=off on the form only.

The obvious thing to do is just to ignore the fact that the first one is filled in if (a) it has the user's current password and (b) the other one is empty. No idea how easy that is to do without looking at it though. Alternatively there was be something we can do in the page - are there any sort of standards that browsers adhere to about particular classes or names on the fields? It doesn't happen for me in FF by the way, but I am using LastPass rather than the built-in password manager.

I think you're wrong about the bug, btw. I'm using firefox, which fills in one of the password boxes, whereas you assert on the chromium bug report that firefox fills out neither. The whys and wherefores of how I've got Firefox to auto-fill the first box isn't relevant, but if it's annoying for me I suspect it's annoying for other people. I'll make an investigation into what we can do to prevent this from happening. I don't think there's any reason to auto-fill these two password boxes, so I suspect something clever involving randomising the password input fields' id or name will keep them from being filled.

I can also see why someone would be confused when they see the error the rails_port throws at them in this case. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

The description on that bug is still wrong - there is no need to provide either password to change your email address. The only time you need to provide passwords on that page is when you want to change your password.

There's no need to enter your password to change it your preferred languages - if you leave both passwords blank then it won't touch the password. My guess is that your browser filled in the first password automatically and it then thought you were trying to change the password and complained that the two passwords were not the same. None of which has any bearing on the language - if it accepts the changes then he language will be changed.

[OSM-talk] "Preferred Languages" on https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/putusernamehere/account
Hi, Does the field for "Preferred Languages" have any purpose? Does it change the language of the user interface of the website? I tried to change it from English to Greek by putting in "el", but to save the change I had to put in my password. Later it said I had to do something about my email. I didn't understand how to save my changes to test. Looking forward to your help, Niklas ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
