More comfortable login to blocked websites
Automatic log-ins are convenient—if they work. However, banking websites and others like that prevent Firefox from saving passwords at times. Some websites prevent automatic logins on purpose, to prevent phishing or Cross-Site Scripting attacks. You can bypass these blocks in some cases.
Attention: Take this step only if you have guaranteed security by means of the add-on Secure Login, and be especially careful for of banking and SSL encrypted data transfer via https.
The block is often controlled through the set attribute ‘autocomplete=off’ in the login form of the website. With a JavaScript, it can be changed. For that, first open the website
https://%20www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/%20forms.html#remember_password.
Then right-click on the button ‘remember password’ and select the command ‘Add bookmark for this link’. If later, on a login page, the option to save the password does not appear, open the site, and then click on the previously created ‘remember password’ bookmark. This will not open a new page, but run the saved JavaScript. Then enter your login data in the website. Firefox again offers the usual saving process.
If however the website is using a different blocking method from ‘autocomplete=off ’, then this script is of no use.
