Via Bug 556873 – exiting a password field by pressing return fails to disable secure entry mode.Īnd after I use TextExpander a while longer I will comment in more detail about how it compares.
If I exit the password field by clicking in another field, or by clicking the “submit” button, then Firefox properly calls DisableSecureEventInput. When editing a password field on the Mac, Firefox ultimately calls EnableSecureEventInput to prevent other input managers from sniffing the user’s password. THE SOLUTION: Usually when you quit the application that enabled secure input (permanently) it will be disabled and all will be back to normal.
The workaround there is to turn off auto-submit and just use auto-fill then press the button to submit. 1Password is similarly affected by this bug. The workaround is to use the submit button rather than using Return in the password field.

This appears to be a bug they’ve inherited from some Firefox code they use. Problem is, if you use the Return key to submit a form from within its secure field, they won’t turn secure event input off. When these browsers display a password field, they turn on secure event input so that no one, including TextExpander, can peek at your passwords. However, it does have a cause, a workaround, and it does seem to be getting some traction from the Mozilla folks. This bug is particularly infuriating because it doesn’t seem clear to the end user what causes it. There is a bug in Firefox and Chrome where they enable secure input but don’t disable it. The TextExpander folks got back to me quickly with an explanation and I have to assume it is affecting many people. I am trying out “TextExpander” because I was having a problem with Typeit4me where it would stop working often with no reason.
