Every time I open Firefox and click on the “opensuse forum” bookmark, your site opens and I’m already logged in.
Right now I’m on Tumbleblee; I exported my passwords as instructed by Mozilla, and everything would be fine, but… the password for this forum is missing.
I need it because I want to migrate my passwords and logins to Leap 16.
When I’m on Leap 16, I’m not logged in and I’m asked to register, even though I successfully imported the CSV file: all my other sites are there with their passwords except yours.
Also, I’d like to know how to retrieve my password to access your site from Leap 16.
Issue about:logins in Firefox address bar, you should see what logins you have saved; I see entries for the Forums, bugzilla, etc.
Unless you log out from the Forums before quitting Firefox you are likely recognized by a cookie as already “logged in” on next visit, so logging in once in Leap might do the job.
You have right but … there is no entry for this forum.
When i close your page in firefix and close it, then re-open firefox and click on the bookmark of opensuse forum, i’m logged in.
I register begin of febrary of this year : when i open about:loggins or "parameters - passwords - registred passwords, i have nothing for opensuse.
As you can see below, no opensuse forum
It is a little bit off topic, but: for such cases it is always good to have a standalone passwordmanger like keepassxc. So you can’t loose any passwords and they are stored safely.
Our authentication is handled by id.opensuse.org - so you won’t find it stored under forums.opensuse.org. We use a single sign-on solution so the same username/password is used for multiple openSUSE websites.
You’re probably already logged in because the authentication cookie is pretty long lived. I can’t remember the last time I actually logged in (to my knowledge, the auth token refreshes if you’re in daily, possibly longer).
That’s just the first visit to the forums, he may well have signed up at the IdP before then - we don’t get that information, only the first forum access.
You can probably just reset the password at the login page. But you’re right, there’s no way to extract a password, and even if there was, it wouldn’t be appropriate to share it with anyone.
