Autofill not working for lorex camera gui

So having an issue with logging into lorex video cameras gui. The cameras in question are E893AB

So if have BW fill get this error

camera

If I copy and paste the password out of BW works fine - so I know the password is correct in BW… I have tried adding a space and then deleting it in case there was some typing script or something when BW autofills it.

This has been going on since I have had them, so multiple versions firefox, have tried other browsers, have also tried just the browsers autofill this also fails… You have to type in the password, or copy and paste it.

Currently using FF 130 on windows 10, the BW addon is 2024.8.1, but like said this has been going on for quite some time… I have just been manually typing or copy paste… Not like I login to their guis all that often… But it is annoying… The info on the cameras

@johnpoz Welcome to the forum!

Is there a URL for this? I don;t see anything that looks like your screenshot when I go to lorex.com.

It has nothing to do with lorex.com - it has to do with the management gui of the camera itself.

the url in question for 1 of my cameras is http:// 10.1.1.65

Here is the source of the page

it wouldn’t let me post the source in a code block, here is the source of the page in a link

Sorry, I am unable to test this.

I didn’t think anyone without a lorex camera would - but thanks for trying… I have posted up the source of the login page…

Its so weird, the forms are filled in, but when it submit you get that error that login is not correct. But if you just copy and paste the password that is in BW it works…

There are several features of that source code that might interfere with auto-filling (and pasting, for that matter):

<form autocomplete="off"> 


<input id="login_psw" onpaste="return false" type="text" maxlength="64" class="fn-width163 fn-mart3">

 

Not all browsers honor the autocomplete and onpaste attributes, so there may also be event handlers that trigger scripts to modify the auto-filled information.

Again thanks for taking the time to look into it, yeah that is what I was thinking - but if I actually paste in a copy of the password, it does work… Its just the autofill that doesn’t.

If doesn’t work, doesn’t work - its easy enough password to just type, or paste it in but just annoying… And I rarely even directly connect to the camera’s management gui anyway… Was hoping there was some way around it is all :wink:

The login to the nvr management gui works with autofill from BW… stupid cameras :wink: heheh

When I was first setting them up and changed the password, and autofill wasn’t working I was like wtf! I know that password is correct, then when manually typed in it worked… And its been bugging me ever since that I can’t get autofill to work… Tried all 3 major browsers, with their own password save and fill features… Nothing seems to be able to work unless you manually type the password, and or paste it in… Good thing its not like most of my passwords that are 20 random characters in length…

You might want to try Bitwarden’s drag-and-drop transfer, as well (click the “Password” label on the password field, then drag the password onto the password input field on the login form). If this works, it is a more secure option that copy & paste.
