You log in using your forum username and password; if you tick the “Remember profile” box, these will be saved using the Firefox password manager (this works whether you’ve enabled saving your passwords or not). It’s coupled to the DSWP account infrastructure, showing forum usernames for those players who are registered there, and knowing about who you have marked as friends/foes on the forum (shown in bold in the player list; the bar can optionally display a popup whenever any of them joins or leaves the game — the STFU checkbox suppresses the popup). |

| * Password management is unfinished — when you first type your username and password and tick “Remember the profile”, everything works fine, but when you change your forum password and try to repeat the “first time” steps, nothing happens. You’ll have to delete the old profile first via the Firefox password manager (Tools > Options > Security tab > Saved passwords button), and then you can save a new profile via the bar. (Presumably this is a non-existent problem if you //are// allowing the FF password management to save everything, since the username, password and cookies are identical to the web ones.) | * Password management is unfinished — when you first type your username and password and tick “Remember the profile”, everything works fine, but when you change your forum password and try to repeat the “first time” steps, nothing happens.
