After upgrading to Epiphany 2.16.2-1, all my saved passwords were lost! (this bug still stand in 2.16.2-2)

Even worse, the "Save Password" functionality is not working anymore. Entering a login and a password in a website, then restarting Epiphany, going to that site will not list my login and password.

I started with a clean setup of Epiphany just to be sure (I removed "~/.gnome2/epiphany" directory, and ran "gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/epiphany" from a terminal).

Thanks.
This task depends upon

install gnome-keyring

It *is* installed.

I re-installed it just to be safe, I got the same result.

I just want to know if I'm the only one having this problem or not? (is it my problem or from Arch packaging/compiling)

Thanks for your quick reply.
Ziyad.

It doesn't seem to work for me either... do you happen to also not use gnome for your DE? I use xfce4.

Save Password doesn't work for some sites, i.e. AUR.

I *do* use GNOME.

I just installed (down-graded, actually) to 2.16.1 and 2.14.3 and the problem is there. I also down-graded to "gnome-keyring" 0.4.9-1 and didn't solve the problem.

I tried "LANG=C epiphany" just to make sure it's not a locale problem (I'm using "en_GB.utf8") but to no available.

Thanks all.
Ziyad.

To Roman Kyrylych:
As I said in the first post, it used to work (o.k. not with all sites, like Yahoo mail for example) but it used to work when logging to my modem/router for example.

Also, when I open "Personal Data" from the "Edit" menu and choose the "Passwords" tab, it's completely empty.

Does it work with you? (This is all I want to know at the moment.)

(Sorry about the double post.)
Thanks.
Ziyad.

Same here, doesn't seem to work at all for me. Not really sure if it ever did, though.

You were right, epiphany does remember passwords but after restart they all gone.
I use gnome too and gnome-keyring installed. All latest versions.

It's reported here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6206 that the problem is in xulrunner 1.8.1, xulrunner 1.8.0 works fine.

Thanks, Roman, for your hard work.

I hope it'll be fixed soon. (I don't care that much, it's just annoying and wrong!)
