Experience the Single Sign On Experience.
This script does not do a plain FORM SUBMIT, but also works for pages that do submissions via Javascript.

Check the home page [http://dy-verse.blogspot.com/search/label/signo...] for updates.

The longer vision for this is not to save the passwords locally, but to save them on a server [technically, on an OpenID Server, as attributes of a person]. Hence, pages that are not really openID enabled, will become enabled with this script. However, OPENID Attribute support will come with version2 and will take some time.

Here is how the script works

- Identifies a form that has a password field to be a login form
- If you are visiting a page first time, enter the user name / password and click the submit button
- This submit could be a simple form submit, or even a javascript call.
- The script remembers the action that you have taken on the page
- After this, whenever you oped the login page, it automatically logs you in.

Features under development
- Better UI and communication to the user
- Encrypt the user name that is stores about:config
- Single Sign on with OpenID, when OpenID will support attribute exchange [version 2.0]. This will store all your user name / passwords on an OpenId server, and will allow single sign on even on sites that dont support OpenId yet.

P.S. : With this i am also experimenting on a way to develop greasemonkey script. Please read my post on this at http://dy-verse.blogspot.com/search/label/greas...
