It's also quite disappointing that I can't use my 1Password vault when a website asks for my HTTP password via a standard dialog in Firefox.
PS: I am using Ubuntu so I can't use 1Password as a standalone application; but how does it happen that a website is perfectly capable of blocking my interaction with the browser? Why doesn't Firefox ask for the password as part of the actual webpage instead?
Hadn't tried it in other browsers - does it work at all?
- dylz 7y agoIn this case, the u/p needs to be sent along with the request - which means it needs to be asked for by the browser before the request to the site is ever sent..
- heavenlyblue 7y agoNo, I mean just show a customised page for 403 that also has a username/password that you could put in and log in. The cross-browser modal dialog is entirely anti-Ux.
- silverwind 7y agoBitwarden is able to auto-fill basic auth dialogs in Firefox, but only if there is only a single entry for the page in store. Thought, sometimes it sometimes does not work. I do wish Mozilla would finally do away with the modal auth dialog and use in-tab content that extensions can interact with.
