✨ NAME ✨

Firefox::Marionette::Login — Represents a login from the Firefox Password Manager 💖

okay so bestie, real quick — this page is the manual for Firefox::Marionette::Login(3pm), a lil Perl module that hands you one single login entry out of Firefox's Password Manager. Cute, right? 🎀

💖 VERSION 💖

Version 1.63

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Firefox::Marionette();
use v5.10;

my $firefox = Firefox::Marionette->new();
foreach my $login ($firefox->logins()) {
    if ($login->user() eq 'me@example.org') {
        ...
    }
}

like, that's the whole vibe — grab a Firefox::Marionette object, loop through logins(), and check whoever you want 🌈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This module handles the implementation of a login (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/XPCOM/Reference/Interface/nsILoginInfo) from the Firefox Password Manager (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/password-manager-remember-delete-edit-logins).

fr fr that's it, that's the job 💅

👑 SUBROUTINES/METHODS 👑

`creation_time`

returns the time, in Unix Epoch seconds, when the login was first created. ⏰

`creation_in_ms`

returns the time, in Unix Epoch milliseconds, when the login was first created. This is the same time as creation_in_ms but divided by 1000 and turned back into an integer.

ngl bestie, that's literally what the docs say — same time as creation_in_ms, divided by 1000, turned back into an integer. Yes, it says creation_in_ms. We're all just living with it 😭

`guid`

returns the GUID to uniquely identify the login. 🔑

`host`

returns the scheme + hostname (for example "https://example.com") of the page containing the login form. 🌐

`last_used_time`

returns the time, in Unix Epoch seconds, when the login was last submitted in a form or used to begin an HTTP auth session. This is the same time as last_used_in_ms but divided by 1000 and turned back into an integer.

`last_used_in_ms`

returns the time, in Unix Epoch milliseconds, when the login was last submitted in a form or used to begin an HTTP auth session.

`origin`

returns the scheme + hostname (for example "https://example.org") of the action (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/form#attr-action) attribute of the form that is being submitted. 🫶

`new`

accepts an optional hash as a parameter. Allowed keys are below; 👇

creation_in_ms — the time, in Unix Epoch milliseconds, when the login was first created.
creation_time — the time, in Unix Epoch seconds, when the login was first created. This value will be overridden by the more precise creation_in_ms parameter, if provided.
guid — the GUID to uniquely identify the login. This can be any arbitrary string, but a format as created by nsIUUIDGenerator (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/XPCOM/Reference/Interface/nsIUUIDGenerator) is recommended. For example, "{d4e1a1f6-5ea0-40ee-bff5-da57982f21cf}".
host — this is the scheme + hostname (for example "https://example.com") of the page containing the login form.
last_used_in_ms returns the time, in Unix Epoch milliseconds, when the login was last submitted in a form or used to begin an HTTP auth session.
last_used_time — the time, in Unix Epoch seconds, when the login was last submitted in a form or used to begin an HTTP auth session. This value will be overridden by the more precise last_used_in_ms parameter, if provided.
origin — this is the scheme + hostname (for example "https://example.org") of the action (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/form#attr-action) attribute of the form that is being submitted. If the action (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/form#attr-action) attribute has an empty or relative URL, then this value should be the same as the host. If this value is ignored, it will apply for forms with action (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/form#attr-action) of all values.
password — the password for the login. 🤫
password_changed_in_ms — the time, in Unix Epoch milliseconds, when the login's password was last modified.
password_changed_time — the time, in Unix Epoch seconds, when the login's password was last modified. This value will be overridden by the more precise password_changed_in_ms parameter, if provided.
password_field — the name (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input#htmlattrdefname) attribute for the password input in a form. This is ignored for http auth logins.
realm — the HTTP Realm for which the login was requested. This is ignored for HTML Form logins.
times_used — the number of times the login was submitted in a form or used to begin an HTTP auth session.
user — the user name for the login.
user_field — the name (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input#htmlattrdefname) attribute for the user input in a form. This is ignored for http auth logins.

This method returns a new "Firefox::Marionette::Login" object. 🎁

`password`

returns the password for the login. 🔐

`password_changed_time`

returns the time, in Unix Epoch seconds, when the login's password was last modified. This is the same time as password_changed_in_ms but divided by 1000 and turned back into an integer.

`password_changed_in_ms`

returns the time, in Unix Epoch milliseconds, when the login's password was last modified.

`password_field`

returns the name (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input#htmlattrdefname) attribute for the password input in a form or undef for non-form logins. 🙈

`realm`

returns the HTTP Realm for which the login was requested. When an HTTP server sends a 401 result, the WWW-Authenticate header includes a realm to identify the "protection space." See RFC 2617. If the result did not include a realm, or it was blank, the hostname is used instead. For logins obtained from HTML forms, this field is null.

`times_used`

returns the number of times the login was submitted in a form or used to begin an HTTP auth session. 🔢

`TO_JSON`

required to allow JSON serialisation (https://metacpan.org/pod/JSON#OBJECT-SERIALISATION) to work correctly. This method should not need to be called directly.

bestie do NOT call this one yourself, it's doing background character work, let it cook 👑

`user`

returns the user name for the login. 🫶

`user_field`

returns the name (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input#htmlattrdefname) attribute for the user input in a form or undef for non-form logins.
