Rated 5 out of 5
by BigB, 4 years agoThis work fine for both Roboform and Dashlane password managers. It is just what I was looking for. It is frustrating that both Roboform and Dashlane display this behaviour, but at least this is a simple solution. It might be worth renaming Roboform-Override? I only stumbled across it when I decided to switch from Dashlane becasue of this behaviour. It did not turn up in my searches of add-0ns. Thanks.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14961437, 5 years agoHi, this used to work but no more! Hopefully the developer will find the time to get it working again. It is such a nuisance to have to go into options and check the option again! Thanks to the developer if he gets this working again.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Dobos, 5 years agoWow! It's been such an inconvenience having to check that box every time Firefox starts. This is great. I just stumbled on this extension when I was searching for the roboform extension to add it back in after it was deleted. Good thinking in naming it that way, hope they don't hassle you about it. I asked roboform about this issue over a year ago and after spinning me some BS they said they were "looking into" enabling the browser password manager alongside roboform, or at least providing it as an option. I guess they are still looking into it...
- Rated 4 out of 5by Papa Doc, 5 years agoTY, I'll give it a try. Be more specific with your details about what EXACTLY this Extension/Add-On does and the perks it is using and what is using it... at least explain in a reply to me!!! TY!
- J.M.A. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13313978, 6 years agoEven with RoboForm Override active, every time Firefox is starting, the setting "Ask to save logins and passwords for websites" is disabled and this add-on is not enabling it again as expected.
There are no options to play with, so I guess I'm not doing anything wrong.
I'd love to see Roboform-Override working properly because it doesn't seem that RoboForm will ever care and stop the forcing of "Ask..." to off. - Rated 5 out of 5by tgold, 6 years agoA great and welcome time saver.
I asked RoboForm for this in January 2018 but their reply was:
"Hello, thanks for your message.
Indeed, RoboForm for Chrome and RoboForm for Firefox will now turn off the built-in password manager, though, the browsers differ and the things those work fine in Chrome may not work properly in Firefox. Thus, RoboForm cannot completely disable the option "Remember logins and passwords for sites" in Firefox just like it does in Chrome. So the user can recheck the option in the browser to run the both built-in password manager and RoboForm after Firefox started (RoboForm will uncheck the option every time the browser runs) and we can do nothing with it."
I am so glad and grateful that someone else was able to do something about it. Developer response
posted 6 years agoIf this problem is common then I will have a look at that too. Can't promise anything though, it's been a long while since I used Chrome.
