Entry properties plugin - how to remove password prompt?

I have stupid problem with the entry properties plugin - every few edits I accidentally save my post as password protected (firefox password manager automatically fills this field with my blog password and I must clear it).

I do not need this very feature, what is the best way to get rid of it?

Have you tried Flock, Safari or worse case IE :lol:

Well, I'd like to get rid of this field on the screen, not the browser password manager ;-)

In fact, I'd like to get rid of some other fields too, don't think I am to use author switching or custom fields too soon....

My blog password is also saved by the password manager, but I've never had any entries passwordprotected by this.

Are you sure you haven't entered the password by accident in the field for posts and saved it? What happens if you clear the saved passwords for your blog and re-enter them next time you log in, does it still want to protect your entries?

Hi!

Currently there is no way to disable the password input field. It comes from the plugin "EXtended options for properties".

Until now where FF3 autofilled in this field, it was no problem to always haveit.

You can easily patch it out of the PHP file. Maybe since you know somePHP, maybe you'd like to take a stab at adding a config option to the plugin that allows the user to indicate which input fields he wants to see? :)

or maybe its enough to rename the password-field.
