Hello again. Still wondering if you have any idea when this will be added. Im growing tired of the issues i'm having with other browsers and am anxious to have this featured added.

I can't really say when this will happen just yet. Some point after OmniWeb 5.5 is running smoothly with WebKit though.

There is one thing about login autofill I like very much about Opera: Username and pw are not filled in automatically. Instead, an orange border around those text fields is shown, indicating that you can press Ctrl-Return, and Opera will login.

That way, it just isn't so obvious that there is a login stored for that page - especially nice if other people regularly use the same account on that computer. Of course, this is really far from secure, but I like to know that others have to really know how to use Opera (they don't, normally) in order to use my forum accounts, e.g.. (At work at the windows box, that is.)

OTOH, this requires learning, and I understand that a browser should be as self-explaining as possible by default. So maybe this could be a config option?

How does this work when you have multiple accounts and passwords for the same page?

I just don't see this as a very useful feature as I would never store a user name and password on a shared system.

It then displays a dialog to choose which login you'd like to use.

You're right, of course, this is by no means a real security feature at all. I would not use this, either, at a machine with more or less public access.

The particular situation is: I own a very small bookstore, and I have only one employee who manages the store when I have a day off. I trust her, she would probably not abuse it if she saw that she could login to a particular site with saved passwords. But I still feel better if it isn't SO obvious that this is possible. And it's the same for my home Mac, where a friend staying for a week might use my Mac while I'm at work, ot sth similar. I will of course leave my account open for use, if he wants to browse around in the net, but I'd like it better if he wouldn't see at first glance that he could use a saved account for a particular site.

And, anyway—how would the solution used at the moment work with different accounts on the same site, a feature that will hopefully be included soon?

I use Fast User Switching for all my multi-user needs. When I had friends visit, I created a brand new account just for them...

That is useful when one has enough RAM and CPU power. I have just delegated some of my older machines to that task.

Ok, touché. :-)

But still—how are you intending to implement multiple keychain entries for one site? It wouldn't make sense to display one of the available user names and display a dialog when the login button was clicked. So what are you going to do? IMHO, a colored border around the entry fields and a keyboard shortcut is a good solution. Maybe with the addition to display the available user name options also when the login button is clicked.

And while implementing that, you could add a preference option to only show colored frames also if there is only one login available. :-)

(BTW: I'm not sure, but I think Safari is able to use multiple logins for one site, isn't it? How is it implemented there?)
