Force Firefox to Remember Passwords

In order to make Mozilla Firefox remember a password, even if the website vendor is using AutoComplete=off to disable this feature, drag’n'drop the following bookmarklet to your Bookmarks Toolbar: Save Passwords.

Everytime you click the link, the script will run on the active tab, find any form elements that have their autocomplete tag set to off, toggle it, and add a smiley emoticon. Of course, Firefox will ask for a confirmation to save the password.

    Thank you! Not being able to log into my university library account without looking up my library card was driving me insane - you’ve saved my sanity!

    It doesn’t work with google adsense login page. The browser don’t offer to remember the password.

    solom, it works finely for me on Firefox 2 on a Mac Intel (https://www.google.com/adsense/). It might be that you have multiple usernames/passwords saved. In that case Firefox waits for you to type something to recall a password. You can fix that by going into “Preferences”, “Security”, “Show Passwords” and delete any passwords you don’t need.

    Thank you so much! Works great for my webmail. I’m not crazy enough to use it for my bank account though. :)
