"Password Required" multiple times

Unread post by WestOne » 2018-11-10, 09:36

Hello,

I use a master password and I use Sync. When I start PM and visit a site that requires a password from the password manager, the Password Required window appears:
Password Required.jpg

After I've entered the password, the same Password Required window reappears and I need to enter the password again, and often, yet another time. I'm quite sure that this isn't caused by typos.

Is this normal behavior? I believe it began after I started using Sync.

Thanks for the info.

Version: 28.1.0 (64-bit)
Windows 7 Pro

Regards.

Actually I might have a similar problem. Usually after the browser starts it will ask for the password, because it wants to sync my data. Then when I go to a web site that I have my login details stored for (I doubt this is valid English grammar) Pale Moon will ask for the password again. In Tycho it would simply remembered that I have already provided a valid password before.

I also have a similar issue with PaleMoon 28.1.0 64bit. On one site (just the one), my credit union, if I have that tab on top after entering the username, then when the password popup opens, there's a stack of 3 of them. If I move the cursor to another tab, or to my other screen, I get only 1 password dialog. Very odd.
