New Smugmug log in page

Holy Batman, It filled in my PW when picking username in drop? Wow, hope this is fixed, thanks Smug!

Although it doesn't work on a couple other of my sites.

It has worked on my site for a while, but not on the others I work on.scratch

Well, that didn't last long, no auto fill this morning.

I'm pretty sure that the issue is that the login form is sent to the server using JavaScript, which means that there is never a good moment for your browser to ask you if you want to save your username & password. Submitting that form doesn't directly cause the page to advance, so the browser can't tell if it looks like you're logging on or not.

To get your browser to prompt you to save your password, enter this as an HTML block on a hidden page somewhere:

<form action="/" method="post">
  Email: <input type="email" name="username" value=""><br/>
  Password: <input type="password" name="password" value=""><br/>
  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Fake a login" />
</form>

Fill in your login details and hit submit, it just takes you to your homepage. But your browser should offer to save your password for you. If you allow it to save it, then the next time you use the Login link on your site (assuming you have one in the footer or header), it should remember those login details for you. After you've got this working, you can delete that HTML block.

My browser has already remembered my username and PW for a few sites. I can see them going into browser options.
It's just the browser doesn't know when to use them.

I don't think usernames and passwords remembered for one site get re-used on another. I believe the issue is that because of the way SmugMug's login form is submitted, your browser will never prompt you to remember a password on SmugMug. The hack in my previous post simulates a login form which should trigger your browser to offer to save your password for you for that domain.

Firefox asked me if I wanted it to remember my SM login credentials, I told it to remember them and indeed they are stored and accessible via the Firefox admin. But whenever I have to login to SM, the credentials aren't pre-filled. AFAICS, the SM login page doesn't appear to Firefox to be a login page. Maybe there's a missing or duff hook, flag, request or whatever?

Ironically, Firefox will pre-fill my login credentials in the SM Account Settings page, just where I don't need them, as discussed at http://dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=241718

Firefox never gets it wrong on non-SM websites for which it has saved my login credentials. It works faultlessly with WordPress.org, WordPress.com, Google, Bing, uMapper, Yahoo Groups, Feedly, Astrochat, BlueHost, Virginmedia, mapchannels, mymapsplus, Adobe, Vimeo, Flickr, Microsoft, Skype, the list goes on and on...

SM login is the only one it won't work with.

Go figure, SM.
