Description

I think it would add to the utility of the password store to be able to manually enter the information associated with passwords. I think you can do this sort of by visiting a site where passman detects a password field and modify it to a new URL but it would seem more straight-forward to have an "manual add" option which would default to the current URL to create a new entry. If there's no easy way to detect the password automatically (e.g. various obfuscation "security enhancements" that some sites seem to think are important) then the user could click on the passman badge and copy/paste out the user/pass and still be able to use a non-mnemonic, non-guessable (e.g. highly secure) password on those sites which have utterly broken password security by trying to be "extra" secure by disabling password managers.

Benefit / value

It would help make the internet more secure by unbreaking ignorant fixes.

Risk / caveats

Unfamiliar users might not understand why the passwords aren't auto-filled.

Start by tracing the passman badge, the existing password-field detection flow, and how a detected entry is created. Define the manual-add entry point and the fields it must collect, including the current URL default. Done should allow a logged-in user to create and use a password entry when automatic detection or autofill is unavailable.
