Some websites call a function to disable autocomplete, and so the Android browser doesn't save passwords for these websites. I would like to bypass this limitation. Any idea?
Cookie points: Some way to manage/view saved passwords individually. Simply being able to clear all saved passwords isn't cutting it.

I would be really pleased if someone could give me a technical description (a cryptographic one) about how ANDROID stores the user´s private passwords. I mean, how are they are encrypted (if it does)? ¿using what algorithms and keys?
The reason is easy to understand. A normal user gives it´s phone 2 types of passwords that should be protected:
1.- One, is the Google´s main password used by the phone to sync (GMail, Calendar, etc)
2.- The second are the passwords that have been marked in the ANDROID´s browser as: "remembered"
Isn´t hard to imagine a situation in what you phone becames lost and it arrives at hands of someone that (before formatting it) wants to take advantadge or obtain all the phone´s stored passwords.
In fact, reading the internal file system or the SD one, must be almost trivial, and from there obtaining the passwords. ¿How does ANDROID protects the user against it?
Heyas,
I tried searching but did not find anything related from here nor from Google / Bing so here it goes:
Anyone else having the problem that your Mango IE9 mobile browser is not saving any passwords? And if so have you managed to find a solution for it to save them?
I have cookies and history collecting enabled from IE settings.
Thanks in advance!

100 views and not a single comment? Does your WP7 IE save the password data or is it a "feature" that no form data is saved? Anyone?
I too haven't ever been able to figure out how to save form data, however IE has the capability to save .htaccess login form data (like the one when you attempt to configure your router). I would love to see this added in the future.
There might be a workaround, I haven't tried it yet (only tried it on iPhone). Javascript is run browser side, so if you could create a script that alters form data and save it as a bookmark and then just call the bookmark it might work. A simple document.getElementById("formname").value = "username" would work wonderfully. Again, I've only tested it on my previous iPhone.

Hello to ALL!
After almost 2 years since the first Symbian release, I have ported my application,Mobile StrongBOX, to Android (finaly ).
It is available on Google Play, but since I'm new on this forum I ca not post the link to it. The best way to find it is to search for "strongbox" in Google Play.
Mobile StrongBOX is designed for the secure storage of private information, such as photos or videos, passwords, data for bank accounts, documents and anything else you want to protect. The application uses a strong public-key crypto-system that is optimized for mobile phones.
Today we take our phones everywhere we go and we can have our private data with us. Take, for example, private photos: we all have them on our phones, but in case we lose our phone we are in trouble because someone else can view our private photos! The same problem is for any private data that we store on our devices like passwords, bank account information, private documents etc. Mobile StrongBOX is designed to solve this problem, it offers protection so we do not fear any more to take our private data with us.
Encryption is the best type of data protection. There are many solutions that in case of stolen phone allow you to wipe the data on the device, BUT from the point when you lose your phone until you realize that, it can be too late!
Mobile StrongBOX uses strong 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption for data and 1024-bit RSA encryption for keys. Any kind of information can be secured with Mobile StrongBOX. It does protect your data, but also helps you if you have many things to memorize like passwords and credit card PINs. With Mobile StrongBOX you will not have to worry about these things any more!
Storing passwords, PINs, credit card numbers, membership info, login credentials etc. is now very easy and safe. Photos, videos, documents and folders can also be added to strongbox, keeping the hierarchical structure of folders (for example you can encrypt your private photos and videos so no one else can view them).
Key features and advantages over similar apps:
- very strong encryption: 256 AES + 1024 RSA
- not only encrypts items like passwords but files like private documents and photos/videos, too.
- every file or item is encrypted with different a AES key, automatically generated.
- customizable templates: add/remove/rename fields, you can change icons, add your own templates.
- multiple files or folders import(encrypt) / export(decrypt) in one operation.
- you can create sub-folders and group files/items however you like.
- no export needed to view files, view them directly from the app.
- secure erasing of imported files, if you want to.
- search, auto-lock, trash
- you can have multiple strongboxes and switch between them.
- does not contain ads, does not have INTERNET permission
With Mobile StrongBOX you have your private information encrypted in your pocket anywhere, ON-THE-GO.
I have saved usernames and passwords for various websites on the desktop (Windows) PC, for my convenience via Google Chrome. I have several android devices (phones) which are able to access these saved passwords since they are linked together. I want to save these passwords to my PC only. And restrict some from my androids, ie. banks, brokerage houses, Amazon and pay-pal. Now, if I have mobile apps associated with these sites, I can block the passwords and usernames. But, a search via google for the website login page (by-passing the app) will display my username and password. Although the password is not visible, it's still there and allows access to my account. I'm not sure if anyone would know what to look for if my cell was lost or stolen, but it's still unnerving to think it could possibly happen. So, I am searching for a way to segregate my PC from my androids, and still be able to use Crome on all. A Google search gets me answers to all imaginable questions, except for the one I ask. Maybe, I just don't know how to form the question to where Google can understand it.
You should be able to sign out on the other devices.

Create an alternate Gmail address to use on the androids and don't use that Gmail on PC.
Or
Have you tried signing out of chrome browser on the androids and set it to not remember your username and password?

Password Managers have become quite necessary if you don’t want to use the same password everywhere. A lot of people still do that and it is really inviting trouble. But then having different passwords mean you’re more likely to forget them. This is where password managers can help. The best password managers on Android are also available on other platforms. This makes it easier for users to have their passwords available on any device.
Using password managers to keep track of all the passwords is also more secure. Because you can then use the most secure passwords for all your accounts without having to remember them. Having your password manager on your Android phone means you take your passwords with you all the time. Here are the 5 best password managers apps for Android.
