<div dir="ltr">Ryan, <div><br></div><div>Here’s the problem. A common use case for wanting to enter a new login manually is when the automatic system failed to capture it and prompt you to remember. In the case, the page may have transitioned to landing page which lacks any login forms. Since we won’t show the key icon on the landing page, this affordance is not useful to manually enter the credentials. </div><div><br></div><div>Longer term, I’m hoping it’s rare that users need to manually enter login info, but if they do, I think the right place to provide it is in the “Management UI” in the preferences. </div><div><br></div><div>-chris</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 6, 2015 at 3:06 PM, Ryan Feeley <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rfeeley@mozilla.com" target="_blank">rfeeley@mozilla.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><span class=""><br><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Feb 6, 2015, at 5:57 PM, Nicholas Alexander <<a href="mailto:nalexander@mozilla.com" target="_blank">nalexander@mozilla.com</a>> wrote:</div><br><div><span style="font-family:Helvetica;font-size:18px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;float:none;display:inline!important">My point is that this won't make sense.
