save current advanced options as defaults

[dunc05]

Hi Chris,

Love SGP.

Have been using v2.0.1 for years but finally decided I needed a longer PWD so have installed the new bookmarklet.

I just can't seem to get 'save current advanced options as defaults' to work.

I change PWD length to 20 + pick SHA, click the save icon and it display a tick, but when I close it with the X and re-open its back to the default of 10 + MD5

Tried in both FF 44 + Chrome 49 on Windows 10 x64

Any ideas ?

Thanks,
Duncan.

The save feature uses the browser's localStorage. Does your browser's security settings allow the use of localStorage?

It seems to - see screenshots

But when I use the bookmarklet on another page, the local storage is blank and trying to save it doesn't work:

I can replicate your issue in Chrome when Preferences > Advanced > Privacy > Content Settings > Cookies > "Block third-party cookies and site data" is checked. SGP in an iframe is, of course, third-party.

I can also replicate your issue in Safari when Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and website data > "Allow from current website only" is checked, and sometimes when "Allow from websites I visit" is checked.

Do any of those options apply to your browsers?

Hey Chris,

Yes, I have the same setting for Chrome (turning it off allows it to work)

I've tried to add an ALLOW exception - 'http://www.supergenpass.com/mobile/'
which gets cut down to
http://www.supergenpass.com

Doesn't seem to help - am I adding the right thing ? Does it work for you ?

The equivalent in Firefox seems to be
about:preferences#privacy
History
Accept third-party cookies: From visited
[changing to Always allows it to work]

Add an exception in FF doesn't help either

Just a stupid suggestion. but isn't the most important aspect that people want to save as default are the algorithm type and the length? So, why can't you pass that through the javascript/URI. Meaning, anyone can make multiple bookmarklets to fit whatever the destination website they need. If not then have a few options available instead of just one. Say one as is, and another with everything maxed out. I do not think anyone care much about MD5 anymore and having longer password is always better, so why not? Anyone going to use more advanced optional one surely smart enough to hit the delete key a few time if they need shorter password.

@dunc05 You need to add an exception for [*.]chriszarate.github.io and then it works

Thanks that would do it. Adding (allow) [*.]chriszarate.github.io in chrome, and https://chriszarate.github.io for firefox would do the trick.
