Hello,
I'm using Roundcube on my Debian Wheezy headless VPS.
Only thing I remember to have changed in configuration
is $rcmail_config['default_host'] set to only host I'm
using, so that the login form does not ask for it.
I have been using this configuration with Opera and several mailboxes for more than year. However, recently I'm trying Firefox and Chrome and none of them offer me to remember the password.
Is this a bug, or I am missing something? Is there a workaround?
The exact version number is 0.7.2-9+deb7u1.
Thanks, aL.

This is a browser/user profile specific thing... nothing to do with roundcube.
Someone must have told Firefox and Chrome on that PC for that user profile NOT to offer to remember passwords in the past...
I have experienced that problem in Chromium too, in 4 different computers (2 debian sids, 1 osx, 1 windows). I tried everything (removing all kinds of local storage related to my roundcube uri didn't seem to work). In the end I had to resort to installing "Autocomplete = on" extension for chrome. But it has to be said, that I use chromium with autosync enabled, so if something was "wrong" in one computer, it probably would have propagated to the other 3.
In Firefox, however, I haven't experienced that problem, and autocomplete works by default.

This is of couse a roundcube thingy, cause it is using the autocomplete="off" attribute at the login password field.
If you maintain the installation, you can turn this off by a config option:
$config['login_autocomplete'] = 0;
If not, there are several workarounds (always depending of your browser). This link http://superuser.com/questions/303691/get-firefox-to-ignore-html-5-autocompl... might point you in the right direction. It has a nice discussion about this attribute and some options to make your firefox storing the password again,
Your opera seemed to have the password already stored for ages - and will continue to fill the field. So will any other browser once you convinced him again to store it again.

Thanks, that was exactly what I've been looking for.
I have changed it to 2 and now it works (tested with Chromium).
Your opera seemed to have the password already stored for ages - and will continue to fill the field. So will any other browser once you convinced him again to store it again.
I have used Opera not only with different mail accounts but also with different boxes over time (new job, new machine) bot Debian and Windows. And before I asked, I have tested this with fresh profiles of both Opera and Chromium.
So I'm pretty sure that Opera (12.x, things might have changed in newer versions) simply ignores this property. And indeed, looking in about:config, there is an option "AutocompleteOff Disables Wand", which is off by default.
It's good to know how it works, though: browsers continue to fill the password once it's stored, no matter that the admin has turned the autocomplete off. So admin can't "force" the browsers to forget it by just changing RC settings.
What they can do though, is that they turn it off *and* force password change, which they are doing periodically anyway. ;-). (*And* due to Opera's cranky behavior, force that setting On somehow.)
Thanks, aL.
P.S.: For those interested, I have started general question on this on Webmasters SE (without answers so far):
