After installing I had to edit the script (line 87) from:

setTimeout(submitFirstPasswordForm, 0);

to:

setTimeout(submitFirstPasswordForm, 100);

It needed a slight timeout before submitting to work for me in Firefox 3.

This is a great script but it needs one extra feature: a way to stop trying and retrying to login when the supplied username/password is incorrect. If that happens, could it stop at the login panel and allow us to enter a new username and password manually? Cheers!

"I'm using FF2.0 and I can't get this script to work. The Allow Password Remembering works great, though. I tested AutoLogin on Yahoo and Gmail and it didn't work for either. However the script "Gmail Auto-Login" works fine.

Can enable such function in sidebar loaded from bookmarks?

you could disable autologin for that site, Kindig

you could ad an if statement, like, if username= username then do nothing (that's not what the code would be, but it would be saying that)

Dunno if anyone else has this problem, but on a webgame I play regularly (www.kingsofchaos.com), the user name field is never filled in, although the email and password are filled in, as they are saved by my password manager. As a result of there not being a username, it causes the 'login' to fail, prompting the try again page to popup, which is again autoloaded without a user name, etc. It creates a loop, and keeps reloading the page without ending until I press stop or close the tab.

Any ideas?

I read the other users comment about download.com so I went there to test. I didn't get any porn (Clint K's problem is likely something that is triggered by script but not caused by the existence of the script), but it did go into an infinite loop of trying to log me in.

I agree with "FirefoxWiz". There needs to be an addition to the script to make it skip the login procedure if you don't have a saved password for the page.

if I have autologin enabled, and I go to a site that has a username/password form it automaticly puts anything in and tries to log me in. Weird! I wish it would only do it on the sites I actually HAVE in my password manager, not every site I go to!!

Oh, forgot to comment. It's an awesome script, but you need to add a part that makes it not log in if the username is 'username'

Clint K,
What happens is that it tries to log in as Username, but download.com says its not an account,
AutoLoginJ doesn't know, so it trys again. So you could say it's endless loop...

A warning:

I had this strange problem with the site download.com, disabling autologinj finally fixed it.

I don't mean to imply that autologinj is a malicious script. Maybe it leaves a person vulnerable to them? Maybe it was just a fluke, but here's what happened...

I just upgraded to firefox 1.5. If I remember correctly, autologinj was already installed on my previous version (1.0.7).

I'm not a regular at download.com, except occasionaly via external links to a piece of software listed there. But today I typed "download.com" in my address bar and was redirected to a porn ad. "www.download.com" had the same result, as did clicking a link to the download.com home page.

So I tried IE. My home page was set to a porn site. I set my home page to google, and after a lot of popups I got out of IE, restarted that browser and was at google.com. I typed in download.com and the site opened up, no problem.

Firefox still didn't like the site though. At this point I wasn't getting the porn ads, but firefox was asking me if I wanted it to remember this login. I hadn't logged in and am not a registered user of download.com.

My browser had been acting a little funny in general, not just on this site. It had crashed a few times and firefox's built-in search (and the googlebar with firefox 1.0.7) were sending me to the google homepage rather than giving me search results, and load times were slow. So I downloaded avast antivirus and did a scan.

I had several viruses: Ad-Agent-C, Trojano-1924, Adware-gen., and P2load. I put those in "the chest". I tried firefox and download.com and got an endless loop of login requests.

I disabled AutoLoginJ and the site works fine now. I reenabled the script and tried again, and again I got the enless loop of login requests, so the problem is clearly reliant on, if not being caused by, this script.

So that's it: a warning.

I did another test, by the way. With the script still enabled I tried a search in the search bar and it worked just fine, and loaded fast as usual.

So I ununstalled the script (along with associated preferences) and now everything's fine.

Finally! This now works with .6.1.4 and Firefox Beta 1 :) I don't think the script has changed recently, but I guess the new version of GM has fixed some things.

 
facted User

Same problem here. In fact, on most pages it doesn't work until I reload the page.

Sometimes cannot auto login under Greasemonkey 0.5.
