Hmm, I can't reproduce this in Opera or Chrome. In opera://settings/addresses, I have 3 entries each with their own email address. None of them are suggested in the email field on the site. Same with https://www.join.me/login.aspx.

In that settings location I have 6 physical addresses 3 of which have email addresses none of which are the ones that show up in 6 email addresses that show up when I click in the email field at join.me!

@burnout426 said in How do I get only site-specific user names and passwords?:

For sites that use autocomplete="off", see https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/autocomplete?_category=extensions.

Cool. Well, I'll add that to my arsenal of things but it seems that it will just add more entries to fields when I click on them No saying that I'll actually get the right one!

@donq Ha! 403? Interesting. I can get there from any browser... And Chrome suggests some random email address for it, anyway.

I think that all of this is saying that none of it works anywhere and that browsers suck. If coders of web pages were uniform in their actions then maybe things would work better but my only hope of having anything work anywhere near well is to get a better password manager. At least, that's my takeaway!

Thanks for looking into those.

@donq it happens more often that not.

Here are a few examples:
https://www.tompkinstrust.com/ - no user name
https://we.windstream.com - no user name
https://app.reputation.com/auth - a long list of email addresses (none of which are the user for this site)
https://www.join.me/ - click on login then a long list of email addresses (none of which are the user for this site)

Those are not just random examples - they are the first 4 links in my bookmarks. (The fifth link worked like it's supposed to!) So in this sample 80% of sites fail. Not a good average!

@leocg the one in opera is basically automated - included in the browser. Instead of ever trying to use that one (reminder - it doesn't appear to work for my use case) I'm going to try to find a better password manager. Or to just flail along as I do now.

Opera's behavior (and perhaps Chromium's) is fine for most folks. It doesn't work for me. No worries - I'm used to working around other people and getting things closer to the way I want them. I have 5 competing browsers open on my desktop and another 5 on my phone (not the same ones) right now. I use Opera as my primary browser when logging in to most things and it does a very poor job, on its own, of making that work. For my use case!

Well... Thanks for the replies. I'm giving up and will seek a better password manager (I have three outside of automated ones in opera) and will just take the extra steps and use those.

@5zveqzrhwv I mean... Two of the two last websites didn't populate the user correctly. In fact, the latest one of them isn't suggesting anything when I start typing characters in the user box.

@leocg Well.. That's not the behavior I see I use Opera on a lot of different devices and I see the same behaviors everywhere - without having copied my profile from machine to machine - so I'm thinking it's part of how the program works. I do, again, have well over 1000 different user names and yet... I think that computers should be smarter than this!

@sgunhouse The user is in "passwords" for the site. When I click in the user field I see 6 options and none of them have anything to do with the site. If I type the first character of the username (after I look that up elsewhere) I get a list of all of the usernames I have that begin with that character. However, how would I know what the right username to pick is? And how would I know what the first character is, regardless? I do not believe they're using an external logon. This behavior is seen across a non-negligible number of websites (not most or anything like that but enough that it happens to me every day and it's a PITA).

I go to a site where I know I have an account. I click in the "user" field and Opera proposes a list of 6 user names.

1: I don't know what user name I use for this site
2: I do know that the user names suggested are not correct

I have over 1115 different online accounts (user names/email addresses). I do not want to have to look each user name up every time I go to a web site to log in. I do save my credentials when I log on to pages. I do not "save this physical address with this email address" because that would be stupid - I'd end up with a list of 1115 addresses to choose from.

I would like usernames, passwords, email and physical addresses to be disassociated from one another in the "save" portion of the user manager of Opera. I have a limited number of real physical addresses.

Or, hey! What's a better way for me to control and deal with this? It's really bugging me that I have to look up each user name. I do not know what the user name is!!!

TIA
