The password for one of the sites I need to access is similar to this: ^G4rj[I#4+:9 but the extension only saves ^G4rj[I#4+ I don't know if it's the + it has issues with or the : but it won't save the password.

The issue is the : character. I noticed this when doing the rewrite of this extension. The issue was in the way the credentials are stored, with a : separating the username and password.

While the issue is not 100% resolved yet, i fixed it so that passwords can contain a : character.

You can test the new extension (and technically use it in any browser except release firefox) here:
https://github.com/smashedr/auto-auth#install

The plan is to release the new extension as is, then add a fix for the : in usernames in a subsequent update.

@TwisterMc Sorry this took so long but the re-write is finished and the new version is live. This should resolve your issue.

I see you are on Firefox so the update is available now. If it has not already updated you can manually update in about:addons (Ctrl+Shift+A).
