I once installed the SeaMonkey add-on "Remember Password" and was able

it on a new computer in SM 2.9.1, but it doesn't show up anywhere and I
can't recall how to get it put onto the toolbar. Any help, please?
There is now a Remember Passwords 1.0.2 extension available from
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/remember-passwords/>.
This does NOT appear in the Bookmarks Toolbar. Instead, it functions
as if it were an inherent SeaMonkey capability.
To see if you already have it, select [Tools> Add-ons Manager] from the
SeaMonkey menu bar. On the Add-ons Manager window, select the puzzle
piece icon to display extensions. The list is alphabetized, so you
might have to scroll down.
Yep. Got that one installed as you described. So I am to assume that
it works automatically to add the info (or present me the option to add
the info) to the Password Manager whenever I first engage a logon page
and enter the username/password data?
Do you know if it is an update of the older add-on that I mentioned
above (i.e., the password add-on that I could place on the Bookmarks
Toolbar), or is that one something else entirely?
This is quite different from the bookmarklet that you used to use. The
affected code module was changed and then wrapped into a zipped file.
Thus, a different type of extension is now required.
This does not always work because not all logins can be identified as
such. Also, it does not work with logins that are done via scripts
(e.g., JavaScript); see bug #355063 at
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355063>. Having the
extension, however, means that you are indeed able to save many more IDs
and passwords than if you did not have the extension.
See bug #425145 at <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425145>.
May I suggest installing my extension QuickPasswords for working around that bug? It
supports logging in on any site that has input boxes for username and/or passwords,
with or without flash. It also supports copying the password to the clipboard or
making an excel sheet with passwords.
Lastly, you can change a password that is shared on multiple sites.
