Have you ever wondered why does not Firefox prompt you to save passwords, for the above mentioned sites? Well the fact of the matter is that they tell Firefox not to, due to security issues. If you are a user and have multiple accounts with yahoo or with any of the above mentioned sites, and you browse them from your home, this is for you. If you are checking your mail from work please stop reading now because if you enable this in your office computer others might get into your mail account.
Considering this event in mind, and to increase your privacy, some sites, including many banks and a few other sites such as Yahoo Mail and Microsoft Passport, tell browsers not to remember passwords for visitors using autocomplete=?off?. This bookmarklet makes the browser ignore autocomplete=?off? temporarily, allowing you to save passwords even on sites that use autocomplete=?off?.
So here is how to make Firefox remember passwords for sites like yahoo, flickr, MSN, Live etc.
Use this bookmarklet ?Remember Password? just before submitting the form with your password in it. When you submit the form, your browser should offer to remember the password. Once your browser has your password stored, it will ignore autocomplete=?off?, so you won?t have to use the bookmarklet each time you visit the site.
To use the bookmarklet, right click and ?Save to Bookmarks? or simply DRAG and DROP in your Firefox Bookmarks bar. When you want to run it, just click it before pressing Login on the form. And you will be prompted if you want to save the form data.
If you have done correctly you should get the dialog box when you press the bookmarklet.
The Remember Password bookmarklet only works on Mozilla Firefox browser.
Thanx, it works!
Worked so far for me!
Thanks
