Hello

I'm web developer and I have a ton of websites on my xampp server on localhost. Many of those are Joomla websites and each has different and long Admin password which I would like to be remembered by FireFox password manager. When previewed locally they these have addresses like this: http://localhost/some-website-name-1 http://localhost/some-website-name-2 etc. Problem is that FF password manager remembers em like this: "http://localhost", website name is not remembered, which means that I cannot use FF password manager for storing passwords on localhost, because all localhost website names are stored with same URL.

Is it possible to modify FF password manager to remember full website name on localhost? So that website is remembered like "http://localhost/some-website-name-1" instead of just "http://localhost".

I guess that an option to manually edit remembered sites would solve this issue as well.

Thanks

Regards

Hi,

You could try double-clicking inside a username field which would hopefully bring up a drop-down list of the stored names. Usually when a name is selected thus from a list, Firefox fills in the correct corresponding password.

If the name is the same for all those domains (paths) then you can't use the Firefox Password Manager to store different passwords for each sub domain.

You will have to look for another password manager or form fill extension that allows for such a differentiation.

2 dumdidadida: - password manager works OK, but problem is that if I try to store password for this website name: "http://localhost/myweb1" Instead of "http://localhost/myweb1" FF password manager (FFPM) stores it like this "http://localhost". It cuts off "myweb1" So If I have 100 websites on my localhost server, all with different names http://localhost/myweb1, http://localhost/someotherwebname, etc, FFPM stores all of them like this "http://localhost", so FF treats all of them like same web.

This problem exists only on my localhost apache XAMPP server where I'm developing websites.

2 cor-el: - I tried to use "Saved passwords editor" FF extension, but if I manually edit saved "http://localhost" URL, and change it into "http://localhost/myweb1" FF doesn't prompt for saved password anymore, when I try to log in.

Anyway, Ill just continue to use text file with passwords, like I was doing from the start :)

Thanks for your replies.

Regards
