For all items with the autocomplete property, display a widget for toggling the setting.
It's a user script I'm working on. See the deal is that some websites won't let you save the userid / password which, depending on perspective, is good or bad for security. If your'e the user, it means you have to find a way to remember the password. Not such a big deal if you have only one password and it's something easy like C00lp@ssw0rD. On the other hand if you are accessing a large number of sites with draconian settings that require passwords that look like this: @#21438W{}@$%dGy, then security may be better served by your having some means for remembering the password. In at least some cases, turning on autocomplete for the item in question will allow you to keep the password in your browser. Note that when I'm done with this project, the user should be able to store ANY password in a VERY secure place and access it from ANYWHERE. That's my objective, anyway. We'll see how far I get. ;-)
So you browse to a site that has autocomplete turned off for the userid and password fields. When this happens, the browser plugin I'm working on will add javascript to the page to allow you to toggle autocomplete on/off.
Question: What I want are little html dialogs or windows as unobtrusive as possible that can be moved if they are in the way and also closed. None of them would be modal. Suggestions? Ideas?
