Hello everyone,

I am just wondering if it is possible to save for the same username on the same website 2 different passwords on different directories.

So for example for username: asd I want my main password for the website to be xxx and for the directory /forum to be yyy. Is this possible? Because it only stores 1 password for the whole website..

Thank you! Thomas

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I installed Firefox

That is currently no longer possible in Firefox 3.6 versions. In past versions that was possible, but at some point it broke websites that used server balancing and redirected to different domain randomly (sometimes 0-99) to log in and the password manager didn't work on such servers. So currently only the main domain is used and not any paths (sub directories) in that domain.
