I have a website where it s storing a username and password. That part
works ok.

The problem is I have another page on the same site and directory where I
have <input type="password" name = 'somename' >

When the page is displayed a password is filled out. It is the same password
I use for another page on the same web site. How do I get rid of the
password for this page, while keeping it for the original page? It seems the
first line of code with type = 'password' gets the password. It does not
matter what the name of the input line is, having the type= 'password' seems
to be the trigger.

Thanks

-------- Original-Nachricht --------

Goto Tools ... View Saved Passwords

There should be at least two entries for that website (for two different
places). If not, then I cannot help ... ;-)

If yes:
If you cannot remember your password, let it display. Delete all
entries. At next access you will be prompted again for the password to
save.

I see the problem. The password storage mechanism is for the site, not to a
specific path or page. The other problem is it senses type='password' and
not the name of the field. i.e. name = 'notapassword' would still be
recognized as a password even though it is only being masked with the
password type. In my case I have a field named secret-phrase. But Firefox
doesn't dig down lower than type and the domain name.
