Avoid Google Chrome login message box?

6

7

Is there any addon or setting how to avoid a "login popup" in the Google chrome? There is an addon which can fill (and sumbit) the login data inside the web page, but I cannot find anything which would automatically confirm the popup dialogue used for https site logins.

I have used such addon for Firefox, called AutoAuth, but no luck in Chrome so far.

An example of a site displaying a login popup: Secure FTP Test Server, courtesy of Chilkat Software, Inc.. To enter the site use the username test and password test (see Welcome to SecureFTP-Test.com).

Based on this Stackoverflow answer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2485207/2934514#2934514 I have tried to use AutoLogin script from http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/750, but either it is not working, or I did not install it properly.

It seems that script does exactly the same as the addons I have tried before, i.e. login within the page, not the https dialogue based login. – Suma – 2010-09-23T10:11:08.890

what has https got to do with dialog boxes? What webpages throw a popup to login? – barlop – 2010-09-27T19:20:03.273

You can try accessing e.g. https://wiki.bistudio.com (I know you cannot access it, as you do not have account there, but you should still get the https login dialog).

i'm getting a security certificate not trusted when I visit that site. – Vervious – 2010-09-29T02:14:02.280

I have edited the question. There is a publicly accessible site test site which anyone can use to see what I mean. – Suma – 2010-09-29T06:38:04.693

Some Chrome extensions that could help:

LastPass
Google Autologin
Auto Login

I did the following with Firefox and LastPass :

  1. Login to ftp.secureftp-test.com, letting LastPass remember the password
  2. Went into the LastPass Vault and clicked Edit of ftp://ftp.secureftp-test.com/
  3. Put a check-mark in Auto Login and OK
  4. Set ftp://ftp.secureftp-test.com/ as my home page

Now whenever I start Firefox, I'm immediately logged-into ftp.secureftp-test.com.

Unfortunatelly all of them see to do exactly the thing I am not interested about, i.e. login using web form. None of them handles https login dialog. – Suma – 2010-09-28T11:52:25.907

@Suma: LastPass does handle https and login dialog - it's a very complete and free product. Did you under-vote? – harrymc – 2010-09-28T12:07:34.177

I admit I did not try LastPass - it does too much for me. I am not looking for a password manager nor a password online storage, I already have a solution for both of this which I am unwilling to change (basically what is described in http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2008/09/11b.html).

I have tried LastPass now. Still I see no change with the login on the https://wiki.bistudio.com/ site. The login dialog is shown and I have to confirm it.

– Suma – 2010-09-28T15:10:21.217

LastPass is supposed to give AFTER the login is finished successfully a bar on top of the page with options. Do you get it? – harrymc – 2010-09-28T15:18:39.740

Not for this particular site. I will check if I will find some other site using the same login method so that anyone can try what I mean. – Suma – 2010-09-28T15:23:47.440

Never used it, but the LastPass menu has entry Sites -> Add site. – harrymc – 2010-09-28T16:14:35.690

When I use Sites, I can login without prompt. This however does not solve why I need it, because I have wiki.bistudio.com as a home page, and in that situation it still gives the prompt (it also gives it when I type the address in the address bar, only not when I navigate through Sites). – Suma – 2010-09-28T18:48:20.137

Perhaps it's best to ask the developers thru the LastPass forums at http://forums.lastpass.com/. They do answer, but registration is required.

@Suma: I added to the answer more info about my experiment with ftp.secureftp-test.com – harrymc – 2010-09-29T19:29:55.423

Unfortunately it does not seem to work this way for Chrome, at least not for me. – Suma – 2010-09-29T20:47:24.917

I am awarding you the bounty, as this is definitely the most helpfull answer (it is the only one anyway). However, as it actually does not solve my issue, I am not marking it as accepted. – Suma – 2010-10-04T07:51:02.970

Thanks, and sorry your issue isn't fully solved. It must be a problem of LastPass under Chrome, so you might go to the forums and try to get it fixed. LastPass is a wonderful tool I couldn't live without, so it's a pity for it to be badly implemented in Chrome. – harrymc – 2010-10-04T08:06:25.803
