Login page of Omada Controller does not saving passwords on my chrome / firefox browsers.

Hi  @Barry1980 

Thanks for posting here.

Restricting browsers from automatically saving passwords is primarily based on the following security considerations:  

1. Preventing credential leaks:  
   - Passwords stored in browsers could be stolen by malware or other users on the same device, especially in shared environments like workplaces.  

2. Enforcing strong authentication habits:  
   - Discouraging reliance on autofill reduces the use of weak or reused passwords, encouraging users to manually enter credentials to improve memory and security.  

3. Controlling security boundaries:  
   - Since Omada Controller manages critical network devices (e.g., routers, APs), developers prefer users to log in via two-factor authentication (2FA) or dedicated clients (e.g., Omada App) rather than relying on insecure browser storage.  

4. Mitigating CSRF/phishing risks:  
   - Autofill can be exploited by malicious pages (e.g., fake login forms), whereas manual entry forces users to verify the legitimacy of the login page.  

 

 

If you really want to save your account automatically, you can try this feature in Chrome:

None of the controllers allow password to be saved.

Do you really want someone to use your unattended computer to log in to the controller?

  @GRL our Unifi controller does save its password (for 9 years already) and also our mikrotik and other services does, so why not our omada controller? We have to login with our password that is 24 credentials long , and that is not funny. I repeat, not funny.

We have our omada controller running on Ubuntu with a lot of sites, the same for our Unifi in that same server. So Yes other controllers are saving its password correctly.

Ps, and still we need our Windows (pin)code before login password is filled in. Welcome to Chrome.

I disagree to some extent, mainly because of bullet #2. Here it actually quite the opposite. If passwords cannot be stored, users will resort to easy to remember passwords that might be used in other places too. Allowing to save passwords simplifies the use of autogenerated passwords that are unique, resulting in a much more secure environment.

  @MR.S i know there are other (cloud) based password managers, but thats exactly NOT what i ever want to use... The only manager i use is Chrome (Google) and do this for 14 years already. I never ever want to use another things to keep my passwords save.
