Password Manager
Henry
you delete all but one? There are some sites I have 3 and 4 entries
listed.
David E. Ross
With a Windows installation of SeaMonkey, you can select more than one
entry. Just select an entry and then hold the CTRL key while selecting
the others. Then select the "Remove" button (NOT the "Remove All"
button).

My question is can I remove the extra Password Manager entries for the
same site and just leave one site listed in Password Manager or does
Password Manager use more than one entry for some reason?

you can remove whatever you want to remove

museum artifact code you have there."
I don't know what that means, but it makes me afraid to delete the
duplicate entries. Can I do harm? Please explain.

If you can login from different pages and/or login entries on the same
site, the manager save the login details for each entry you use. If
you don't need them all, then delete all but one. But it's hard to
know what entry goes to what page.

take a look at each entry and make sure they're not
duplicates. If they're dups, then delete them. If
they're not dups, and each one is different, then don't
delete them. For example, you may log into
hotmail.com, but the server may be live.2.com or
live.3.com or something similar.
As for "museum artifact code" he's talking about the
password manager it self. The code is ancient and
belongs in a museum.
If you want to see your passwords better, then I've
attached something that works great. Just save it to
your hard drive, then use the Browser, and click on
File, Open File, find the file, and open it from there.
It will give you a list of all your passwords. A lot
better than the current password manager, imo though!

The Password Manager works just perfectly in my opinion, at least for
me! No need for lists and manually adding the passwords anywhere. ;)

well, as you said, thats your opinion. For others, it
works great!

The program you attached works great. Here are some entries (without
passwords) that I have. Can I delete all but one of each of them?
https://www.comcast.com wa0...@arrl.net
https://www.comcast.com wa0...@arrl.net
https://www.paypal.com 1
https://www.paypal.com wa0...@arrl.net
https://www.paypal.com 1
https://www.paypal.com 1
https://www.paypal.com 1
This is where I don't know what's safe to delete.
Thanks for you program.

becareful, cause the password could be on another line.
For instance, on some sites, you will have a page
just for your user name first, then on the next page
will be your password. So, in SM, that will be 2
entries.
If you want then do this: make a backup copy of the .s
and key3.db files. The .s is the password file, and
the key3.db give you access to the file. Once that is
done, then visit those sites, and see what happens. If
nothing, then go ahead and delete them. You won't
cause a problem, cause you can always replace the
password file.
As for the "program" that I attached: its not a
program, but a piece of html javascript.

I think there may be some confusion here. The list of passwords only holds
passwords which you used (as some time) to log into a page which was
protected by login/password. If you delete the saved entry for a particular
page such that the browser no longer has a saved login/password for it,
you will be prompted again (and will again be able to have the browser
save it).
So ... you can delete them all if you like. You will just be asked to re-enter
them the next time you go to one of those protected pages.
As far as the duplicates go, if two entries have the same Site, User Name
and Password, then I believe the duplicates are not used. They shouldn't
even be there, but I've see duplicates even on (reasonably) current versions
of SeaMonkey.
Best Regards,
Henry
for hanging in there with me.
The Password Manager examples I gave before were the name of the site
and the user ID as seen, all on a single line. The passwords were on
the same line but I just deleted the passwords.

its an 8 digit file that ends in .s such as 98765432.s

I believe that I have deleted a few duplicates that I have found in my
passwords, only to have one or two return. I just, thought no more of it
and left them alone.

The only time I bother to delete duplicate entries is when the "log on"
dialog box offers me duplicate username selections. When I check, I
usually find one of the username/password entries is incorrect.

Duplicate entries might be a symptom of Bug 392360 (but not necessarily
so). See <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=392360>.
