.. you are not helping the users or developer by asking for features by way of down voting. You only manage that less people use it and so less interest = less development. Here is the official place for feature requests is here:

http://quickpasswords.mozdev.org/bugs.html

The thing with importing is that it is "iffy" because it needs concrete specs on what happens
1. if the login already exists (should it just overwrite the password? prompt?)
2. if the field names have changed. This happens more often than you think, the password manager doesn't store the date so we do not know whether this is newer or older.

So please suggest at the link above for a proper feature management.

thanks for your review. Hope to improve the tool soon.

... the Saved Password Editor Addon does this very well and it works perfectly with QuickPasswords (I did not want to compete with it). However we have 2 features for changing existing information - 1. when logging in the field names can be automatically corrected - 2. you can change stored passwords with "unified Password change" button = the button with the red pencil.

thanks for the 5 stars! :-)

Please use the Saved Password Editor Addon for this. QuickPasswords does not want to replicate the functionality of this excellent Addon, and both Addons work perfectly together.

It is mentioned at the bottom of About this Addon: "If you work a lot with passwords (who doesn't?) be sure to check out the awesome Saved Password Editor it is quite a good addition and fully compatible with QuickPasswords."

I also have described it in my support pages, where you can also get direct support via the mail link at the bottom of the page: http://quickpasswords.mozdev.org/index.html#edit_password

Yes it is secure - it doesn't do any communication with the "outside world". the only way you get passwords over back and forth is via the built in "Sync" mechanism of Firefox, and AFAIK it uses Mozilla servers and encrypts the information.

BTW, Addons published AMO must give a privacy statement if they transmit any user data, they are very strict about this. QuickPasswords simply works with the passwords stored on your local machine and inserts them to pages / clipboard.

One thing QuickPasswords doesn't do is display passwords on the screen (as I find this counterproductive), I leave that to other addons. For more control over your passwords, I recommend also installing "Saved Password Editor".

It is a little tricky - the password manager usually only stores the domain (Host) and not the exact login page. Also, when you are on a domain, you usually have to click on some other page elements in order to get a login prompt and this is not easy to automate as it is completely up to the developer of each web site how this works. It can also set up cookies and session data which is hard to control in an automated manner.

I could certainly add a "go to domain" function, but it wouldn't necessary open the right page (your login page), so it might not be as useful as you would wish for. to discuss in detail, please create an official feature request here:

QuickPasswords uses Firefox's built in password store (and has all the advantages of that including Sync), encyrption used is Triple-DES. You can add better security by using Firefox options > security > change master password and choosing a secure one here, and never install addons / plugins from sources you do not know and trust. Ideally you should only install Addons from addons.mozilla.org to be safe.

...Thanks for the feedback. I know that once you get into the password manager window there are no additional checks, and I thought long and hard about whether they should be introduced - like they are when the user clicks on the [Show Passwords] button.

IMO asking for the Master Password just _once_ is sufficient; I want to avoid for the user having to do any additional clicks or actions. Instead in 2.7 I have added a "Lock" icon to the password manager - if you plan on leaving your browser open unattended, simply click it to snap the lock shut before you close the manager.

The password manager will then ask for the master password next time you use QuickPasswords or do any password related operation. Here is the related feature request page at Bugzilla:

thanks for the 5 stars! :)

OK, so now that this is fixed, lets move on to new features... Eventually I will have to come up with an even easier way of using it, something like an on page control, but that is going to take some time. In the meantime, you can suggest new features here:

====================
Phil's review went like this:

(rated 1 out of 5 stars)
There are NO instructions for loading websites into this program. It "found" a user/pw for only one site. This one. and that was wrong. IN Getting Started, he says:"Obviously this will only be useful if you have already stored passwords in the password manager." I'd say it's EQUALLY OBVIOUS that you have to tell us how. I rate this as JUNK

====================
Reacting to this review I added the following section to my post-installation instructions:

http://quickpasswords.mozdev.org/installation.html#whatsThePasswordManager
..., so hopefully this also going to be helpful for people new to the concept of storing Passwords in Firefox.
====================

thanks for using QuickPasswords!
