The "Password for" field is a free text field where you can type what the password is used for, and it does not have any syntax restrictions. Examples might be "Cell phone", "Garage door" or "Sport membership card".
LastQuark: This widget enables you to store passwords that are not related to Web pages. It does not allow you to view any passwords not stored through the widget. This widget is not required, nor useful for using the Wand for regular Web pages.
Can you show a quick "how to" for this widget? How do you recall the data on a site that has already a passwork in wand? I tried Cntl-Enter and it doesn't call up the ID and Password.
If I start fresh to a site, will I type the ID/Password at the server and at the widget? Sorry it is not clear what is the purpose of this widget because I cannot seem to open anything using Opera 9.2 and Vista.
Ctrl+Enter works for me, both the first time and the second time. Which OS are you using, and do you have a single, or more passwords stored? If there is only one entry stored, pressing Ctrl+Enter again will not have any effect.
I use WinXP SP2. I currently have two passwords stored (for testing purposes). It seems that CTRL+Enter keeps working if I use it multiple times, I guess I was confused because the yellow borders of the input fields disappear after the first time.
Double-click the password to copy it.
That works, but that only works if you have the option to show the context menu on double-click enabled. I thought there was something in the widgets specification that allows you to set elements on which clicking doesn't automaticalle enable dragging.
Scipio: * Ctrl+Enter works for me, both the first time and the second time. Which OS are you using, and do you have a single, or more passwords stored? If there is only one entry stored, pressing Ctrl+Enter again will not have any effect. * I find that I often only want to know which username I have for a particular login, and don't need the password in clear text. To avoid accidental exposure of the clear text password it is disabled. It would of course be possible to add a configurable option for it, but I personally don't see the need. * Double-click the password to copy it.
John164: The Password Manager Widget uses Wand to store passwords, so if you back up Wand, you will back up the data in the widget as well. Note that if you make the passwords available to one widget only, you will need to back up the widget as well, otherwise you will not be able to retrieve the passwords by installing a new widget.
Clever widget! A few remarks, though: * After using Ctrl+Enter, the Wand is disabled, I have to reload (F5) the widget to be able to press Ctrl+Enter again. * Is it necessary to have the Show Password button? Is it possible to have the password shown automatically? * It would be nice if I could select the shown password to copy it with Ctrl+C. Clicking on the text now moves the whole widget around.
Entries cannot be changed once committed, but you can always add a new entry and delete the old one. For an entry to qualify as a new one, at least one of the visible fields must be changed.
To put wand on the toolbar, right click it and choose customize. Then drag and drop the buttons you want.
jaso: If you want to translate this widget into Slovak, I would be very happy. The widget doesn't have a language interface yet, so for now just translating all the text will suffice. Once I have a translation, I will add the option for users to choose language. Just message me the translation once it is done.
cjow88: No, the Wand listing is exclusively handled by the Wand, and cannot be influenced by the widget.
jb1957: Wand data are only available on the server they were entered. This widget allows you to store and retrieve passwords that are not necessarily associated with a server. The widget will only be able to access passwords stored through the widget.

Can you sort the listing alphabetically or move at least the listings around?
I still think it's a great widget!
