Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.3) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux .THIS IS REALLY ABOUT SECURITY. Entering a Login Name without pressing "Enter" and then typing Password in the same Login-Input Field gives a Security Problem, because it is not possible to clear/delete the Form Data. (i didn't found any Option yet) "Clear Cache" or "Clear History" doesn't and shouldn't do that. An extra Option is needed for that in the Konqueror-Settings Dialog, it should be easy to find and understand for the User. (i remember now, IE6 have got such an option to remove Form-Data and/or login/password Data) The Option "Clear Form Data" could be inserted into the "Behavior-Section". There is already an "Auto-Completion" Option. AN VERY USEFULL IDEA is: Merging the "Behavior-Section" (including View Animation Once Selection) and "History-Section" (including the Clear History Option) and the "Cache-Section" into ONE Section "Behavior" with i.e. 3 Tabs would be really good, and more easy to "Clear/Delete/Erase" Form Data, History and Cache in ONE STET !!! Please Please Please, this is an important feature request (it should not be so much work), and not just a wishlist ;) Thanks.

(Please correct me if i'm wrong) He wanted to login into a website. But he typed in his login name *and* password in the login edit field, because he forgot to press enter (tab?). Afterwards when he starts to type the login name he gets a history entry that also includes the password. So he wants a functionality that can erase the history for the form data. Don't we have something like this in KControl in KDE HEAD? Christian
Right click on a field, click clear history. I think this was in 3.1, even.
Christian pointed it out correctly, we/i need a functionality to clear form-data (like login fields or any other fields, even the google search field) (if people don't know exactly, just check out IE6 "Auto Completion" in the Settings Menu. (maybe found in the Content-Tab, but i forgot already :P) i found now the entry "Empty/Reset" (don't know exactly on english-KDE version) but that just clear the thing i just entered. the function DOES NOT "Erase" the content from the input fields persistently. the Data still exists after trying the function from the RMB (right mouse button) Menu. :/ thx
Subject: Re: IMPORTANT: Need possibility to Clear/Erase previously entered Form Data Hi Stephan, the security problem is, that if i type in the login/account name, and then forget to press "Tab" or "Enter", then the cursor/focus is still inside the login textfield. then i type the password, and that entry is showing to everyone, who log into i.e. his web-mail account. we need a possibility to clear all form data previously entered in any form-field. (if you have a chance to look at IE6.. i mean something similar like the "Auto Completion" handling. there it is possible to delete form data, login or even passwords) Greetings, Manni Am Montag, 8.

worked out nicely
