FF87 + Password 2.1.1 not save new passwords

🍱 Features & apps passwords
1

Since installing the extension, the password generator tool has failed.

{
  "details": {
    "data": {},
    "message": "NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.",
    "file": "",
    "line": 0,
    "stack": "",
    "time": 1616727608821
  },
  "error": {
    "name": "TypeError",
    "stack": [],
    "string": "TypeError: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.",
    "fileName": "",
    "lineNumber": 0,
    "columnNumber": 0,
    "message": "NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource."
  }
}

Not sure if either of these are of value:

  • I noticed the time of the log and the time on my Mac are different by one hour. I mention this as there is a “time” listed in the log;
  • The extension notices new password accounts but doesn’t save them to the server when I click on the save icon. The extension’s Toolbar icon continues to show “+1”.

Just looking in NC’s “Logging” and passwords has lists:

  • Error - “Error “Internal Words API Error” in OCA\Passwords\Controller\Api\ServiceApiController::generatePassword”.
  • Warning - “Words service delivered no result”
  • Fatal - “OCA\Passwords\Exception\ApiException: Internal Words API Error”

When Fatal is expanded:

[passwords] Fatal: OCA\Passwords\Exception\ApiException: Internal Words API Error at <<closure>>

What is “Words” service/API?

The words service is the service which is used to gather the data to generate passwords. You can change the service in the app settings if it doesn’t work.

That is not related to the saving of new passwords. Is there any error message that appears in the NC log or the extension log at the time of saving a new password?

You can change the service in the app settings if it doesn’t work.

Where is this? I looked in the NC > Settings > Administration > Passwords, Passwords app > More > Settings (Advanced), and FF Extension > Passwords for NC.

I’ll have to follow up with saving new password issue until I create a new account sometime.

There should be a “Password Generator Service”.

Was set to “watchout4snakes.com”. The only other option is “Random Characters”. I changed it and now it is working.

Thank you for helping!
