#11095: Too many login windows at startup
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter: legion1978 | Owner: rekkanoryo
Type: defect | Status: new
Component: unclassified | Version: 2.6.3
Keywords: login window |
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
At startup (both linux/windows), login window(s) move from one position to
another, making the process very annoying and difficult. Specially if I
have more than 5 accounts.
This comes from the fact that I don't want Pidgin to save my password for
every account, since its a shared computer, so I must fill in the password
every time I wish to login. Again, one or two accounts would be easy, more
than 5 its annoying. Besides, since the login windows move around the
screen (attempting to reconnect I believe) I often end up writing down the
password in the wrong box (or document if I lose focus).
Why dont make a single password protected login box? That way Pidgin can
be set to remember passwords and still be secure to share computer.
[Enhancement]
This might imply a user-based system, where each user has its own startup
user password/set of accounts, again, for the sake of security and
privacy. For example, if Im at work, I might want to "activate" a
different set of accounts, all corporate, without disturbing my
preferences/accounts/buddies configuration back at home.
