Would like to edit the sites field for a given password. At times, companies change their login URL, or a password is incorrectly saved to the wrong URL. The only way to “update” the sites is by creating a new password entry and delete the previous one, which is quite inconvenient, error-prone, and involves copy-pasting passwords.
E.g.,
Sites
login.example.com --> accounts.example.com
Username
Foo
Password
Bar
+42 !!!
Edit site or allow copying all the passwords for a given site to a new entry with a different site.
Not quite sure I understand what’s being asked here. If you go to the password manager in the browser you can edit the site, user name and password:
Have you tried clicking the edit button? There is no way to edit the site portion of the saved password.
@Greymatterprison,
Ah you’re right. I just checked Chrome, Opera and Firefox and they all behave the same way. I believe this is intentional, so that if someone uses the same password for multiple sites, a bad actor (could be a hacker, could be someone you know just doing bad things) on your device could simply edit and change the site address in the passwords menu, go to that site and then be able to login without actually having to know the password.
Valid, and I understand but, not convenient for the actual end user. Especially in a home lab environment when URLs can change often. Maybe have another authentication method for the site portion to be changed?
To me personally and likely half of our users, this seems reasonable — but I suspect that the other half of users will think it’s a “terrible inconvenience”. This is usually how feature requests like this go, unfortunately.
I will go ahead and suggest this to the team anyway. I’ve also upvoted this thread myself.
Thank you, I sincerely appreciate you taking it seriously and actually having dialogue with end users.
