Looks like deleting signons2.txt and signons3.txt from my profile fixed the problem (as mentioned in the thread you referenced). If you add that as a proper response, I can mark that it solves my problem.

Thanks for working through this with us, I really appreciate y'all taking the time to track all of this down.

Downloaded the 2.5.5 package. I'm getting the same results as before, unfortunately. The one difference is that it now reports that an unknown error occurs when I cancel the sync (error number 3).

I should also note, since these issues have sprung up, I've lost all passwords that had been saved, and can't re-save them. For example, each time I log into Gmail, it doesn't remember my password, even though each time I tell it to. – Brian Dukes, on October 29, 2008 02:13

I was able to successfully synch if I unselect Passwords.



I then reselected Passwords, and was prompted for my PIN.


However, when I resynched, it still asked me for my PIN, as before.


After I cancelled (cancelled the PIN prompt twice, cancelled the synch dialog twice), the settings page still said it was synchronoizing, and wouldn't let me try again without restarting the browser.


I saw on another issue that someone had suggested making sure that Saved Passwords was unchecked in the Clear Private Data settings if it wasn't saving your password. I checked that, and it was already unchecked.

I am repeatedly asked for my PIN during the first password sync (on the second computer)

I setup password sync on my work computer, which went fine. I just upgraded Foxmarks to 2.5.3 on my home computer and tried to start the password sync. I entered my PIN to get started. It then successfully synced my bookmarks, and popped up a dialog to enter my PIN. I entered the PIN, and the same dialog appeared again. I tried entering the PIN a few dozen times, with the same results. I eventually clicked Cancel, which left the progress dialog. I had to click Cancel on that dialog twice before it disappeared. After enabling JavaScript logging, I saw the one following error when I clicked Cancel above:

Error: label is null

That is, in fact, what I'm doing in the meantime. Thanks for your consideration of this idea. – Brian Dukes, on September 24, 2008 14:53

Don't fill in forms or passwords

I'd love to use the myVidoop plugin in a write-only mode, where Firefox/Internet Explorer/etc. were still responsible for managing my passwords, they were just also kept online in myVidoop if I needed them from a browser in which they weren't stored. I could then retrieve the password from the cloud if I needed it, but otherwise could keep using the unobtrusive password manager of my choice within my browser (and Google Toolbar for auto-fill). I would also still use myVidoop for OpenID wherever possible. It'd be especially nice if the plugin would do a sync with the browsers password store every-so-often, to keep multiple browsers seamlessly up-to-date.
