Visible instead of the asterisks stored password

On my site when an account/password is stored by FireFox, whenever the page load the password appears in plain text no asterisks.

It is a feature of the browser or are need of changes in the elements of the form on the Web page?

If 2 or more passwords are stored by Firefox fields in the form are not met by default.

The DOMi shows that there are two input elements for the password field, and if you set the focus to the password field then the two get exchanged through JavaScript code (you get display: inline and other display: no). Also a class = 'focus' is added to the actual #password field.

Firefox will probably store false data entered in the input fields as form data saved, but I don't think that whatever this should either get entered in the fields false, but I do not know how the code of the profile manager would respond to this swap.

There is this code in the main.js file

            if((inputs[i].type == "text" || inputs[i].type == "password") && inputs[i].className.indexOf(o.filterClass)) {
                inputs[i].valueHtml = inputs[i].value;
                inputs[i].onfocus = function ()	{
                    if(this.valueHtml == this.value) this.value = "";
                    if(this.fake) {
                        inputsSwap(this, this.previousSibling);
                        this.previousSibling.focus();
                    }
                    if(o.addClassFocus && !this.fake) {
                        this.className += " " + o.addClassFocus;
                        this.parentNode.className += " parent-" + o.addClassFocus;
                    }
                }
                inputs[i].onblur = function () {
                    if(this.value == "") {
                        this.value = this.valueHtml;
                        if(o.passwordFieldText && this.type == "password") inputsSwap(this, this.nextSibling);
                    }
                    if(o.addClassFocus) {
                        this.className = this.className.replace(o.addClassFocus, "");
                        this.parentNode.className = this.parentNode.className.replace("parent-"+o.addClassFocus, "");
                    }
                }
                if(o.passwordFieldText && inputs[i].type == "password") {
                    var fakeInput = document.createElement("input");
                    fakeInput.type = "text";
                    fakeInput.value = inputs[i].value;
                    fakeInput.className = inputs[i].className;
                    fakeInput.fake = true;
                    inputs[i].parentNode.insertBefore(fakeInput, inputs[i].nextSibling);
                    inputsSwap(inputs[i], null);
                }

  • The use of password for show/hide forms - anyway to keep the setting "does not print?

    I have a George_Johnson script that allows me to enter a password to show/hide the fields selected (keys actually).  It works perfectly, but when I enter the password and buttons appear again, setting general/Common Properties amounts to 'visible' instead of ' visible but does not print ', and the buttons appear when I print the document.  I thought I could change these lines and print buttons...

    case 'password': / / your password goes here

    getField("x").readonly = readonly;

    getField("x").display = readonly? Display.Hidden: display.visible

    App.Alert ("level 1 support is now" + readonly_desc + "d", 3);

    break;

    .. .to change the 3rd line to read as follows: getField("x").display = readonly? display.hidden: display.visible but does not print  (or _but_doesn't_print;)

    but then I started to make syntax errors in the 4th line.  I don't know about Java, but I thought I might get lucky.  I get hot?  What is the "3" that needs to change?  Or is that I started quite wrong?

    Thanks for reading,

    You can't guess correctly that the value can be and expect it to work... You should consult the documentation.

    In this case, what you're looking for is "display.noPrint".

  • I have the two Master Sync activated WITHOUT be asked for master password said at the start of the session and password?

    The basic question is that whenever I start Firefox, I am invited, a few seconds later, my master password, regardless of if I will actually connect a site for which I saved my credentials.
    This same number as well as a replica of his original poster chosen as the best answer has been published on the following link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1039575

    I'm in the same situation as this poster, but I don't want to turn off sync. I need the master password set to protect my passwords stored, and I need the Sync feature enabled to share my profile between different computers that I use.
    If I close the master password prompt at the start of the session and then I go to a page that I recorded the password, I should I get prompted again, and that's all I need. Also, I've installed Sync do NOT share my passwords stored, where the master password invite so that the effect is useless in my case.

    So the question is simply how can I turn off the prompt for password at startup, have it pop up when you access a site that needs a password stored (or ask if I want to save a) and keep the clock running without sharing passwords.

    Thanks in advance.

    No, this is not possible.
    Sync must retrieve the journal of authentication data in password manager and which requires to enter the password to unlock the password.

    The synchronization used in Firefox 34 version then use password manager to store the name (e-mail) and password to use to connect to the synchronization server.
    The chrome://FirefoxAccounts entry in the Password Manager stores (kA and kB) credentials in JSON format.
    Earlier versions of Firefox used to store these data in the signedInUser.json file in the profile folder, but the current version only stores the sessionToken in this file and must the Manager password for the credentials of the synchronization.

  • Why my cd written to show a track instead of the name number to sing?

    Why my playlists on my cd show carved a number of track instead of the name of the song?

    Because your custom CD information is not stored on disk or anywhere elsewhere. iTunes uses the Gracenotes CDDB database to recognize commercial CD and the information for each song. There is a feature called CD Text, which can be used to write the metadata on the drive which will include some CD players in the car, but often, the data is ignored. iTunes cannot read this back.

  • Use another device to meet the requirements of password on Apple TV Apple ID

    There must be an easier way for Apple allow a user to enter - or avoid-their password on Apple TV Apple ID.

    After a long and complex password is created for Apple ID, you enter it on Apple TV takes too much time and effort. In fact, it amounts to discourage having a password Apple ID.

    If a user already has another Apple device at hand (for example iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, Apple computer), why the choice of the user of any possibly unusable device instead of allowing any application was launched on the Apple TV?

    For example, Apple TV could offer the possibility to authenticate a statement using tactile ID on the user's iPhone.

    While the new tvOS supports dictation for the fields of password now and using the iPhone with the remote app installed allows keyboard on the phone to use for entering text on the  TV, but I find your idea interesting.

  • Whenever FF is updated, I lose all my stored passwords.

    Do you hear the names and passwords in the password manager or do you mean that you are connected is no longer on to (remember to) Web sites after the closing and restarting Firefox?

    There is a difference between remembering the name and the password in the password manager and a check box "remember me" on a web page.

    The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and which is sent to the server.

    If that "remember me" cookie is deleted or is corrupted or is not send to the server, then the server remember that you and you must connect once again.
