Why disable suggestion to save password in browser? Why is removed that sugestion if is stored locally?
Hello isf, if you want to discuss long and deep the mentioned points please join the development mailing list.
Here the summary of it,
There are far more secure tools to manage your password locally and they are available in the Trisquel repos, I would discourage use the browser to save passwords, anyone with access to your browser could stole them.
But the real reason behind this is that by having it enabled by default, it enabled by extensión the use of Firefox Relay, so since the first option is debatable insecure and the second is a no go, makes sense to stop promoting to the users this behavior and companion service all at once.
But fear not, you can enable it back, as it only disable the promotion, the feature stays untouched, no data stored there is removed.
Read you on the devel mailing list.
