If anyone’s not sure how to use this bookmarklet:-

1) Follow the link
2) Right-click on the button (!), and bookmark it. It should offer ‘remember password’ as a name. Don’t bookmark the page!!!
3) Go to whatever site you want to log in to, enter your details, don’t log in yet though
4) In the same tab, go bookmarks > remember password. The link was for a load of pure javascript, so it’ll come up with a message but won’t take you away from the page.
5) Click okay, log in, and ‘Do you want to remember this password?’ should come up. If all the numbers in the message were 0 and it doesn’t work, you might need to find something else.

It’s working for me in FF3 with Web Developer Plugin for Firefox ( http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/ ) the same solution is in menu �Forms > Enable autocompletion�. But it seems that it’s necessary to click this option every time when logging to, otherwise the saved password won’t be offered.

Can’t get this to work either. Using firefox 3, os x tiger. Trying to get this to work for Msn hotmail. Tried all of the above, even put the link in the bookmark toolbar for easy access. But to no avail. Password manager won’t offer to remember my Hotmail password. Which is weird, cause on my Xp laptop it’s not a problem. Offers to remember.

Any solutions?

Great tip! :) Just a side note: users of fingerprint password managers like DigitalPersona Password Manager (IE) or FingerAuth Password Manager (Firefox) aren’t affected by this “problem”.

Hey I’m having trouble making it work correctly, it isn’t working for Hotmail, TD, or Yahoo Mail. I did 2 things, 1, I opened the hotmail page, put my password in, then opened the bookmarklet in a new tab and clicked save password link, a windows popup came up saying what it did, but when I hit login Firefox (2.0) didn’t ask to save it.

LK wrote you paste the URL into the same tab before logging in, and then click log in, that didn’t seem to work for me either.

Any suggestions?

Thanks :)

This is awesome! I simply opened the Yahoo login page, and then pasted the URL for the “bookmarklet” in the same browser page. It did it’s thing. Then I put in my password and it worked.
