Ok, I know I am not supposed to do this. I know my bank doesn't like it, but I do not care.

  • I* want it this way, and I want it to work!

My bank gives me a page with a login page with a Company ID and a User ID field, then after I fill in these two fields and click next, it gives me a password page. Firefox will fill in my password but not the two fields on the previous page. Obviously the bank login page is telling Firefox not to store the data for the 2 fields on the first page, But I want Firefox to do this. Before the update I had an add-on that would auto fill both fields. Now that add-on no longer works with the ravamped Firefox. How do I do this? How do I FORCE some software, preferably Firefox, to store those 2 fields for me?

I use the KeePassHttp-Connector extension. WIth that you can specify which fields to fill - even if they are set not to autocomplete. But its not much use, if you don't use KeePass.

I tried the KeePass utility. It did not work. My banks website is here: https://bankofnevada.ebanking-services.com/EamWeb/account/login.aspx?appId=beb&brand=bankofnevada

If anyone wants to try this to see if their favorite utility will store the information that would be great!!! You can just go to this page, put in 12345 and 12345 for the Company ID and User ID. It will then take you to a one time code page, which you can't get past, but you can use your utility to save the two fields on the first page, then return to the page to see if you were successful.

I would LOVE to have a utility that will do this! Thanks for anyone's help in advance!

The fields on that first page are normal text fields and not part of a login form.

Try this extension.

Separate Security Issue: Update your Flash Player Note: Windows users should download the ActiveX for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the ActiveX.
