Bug#548601: epiphany-webkit: Password database migration is a headache

[Marc Fargas]

Package: epiphany-webkit
Version: 2.28.0-3
Severity: normal

Hi ther e,

I just opened Epiphany (awesome browser by the way) and it started
asking me "epiphany-browser wants access to the stored password
for..." for every password that I had saved in Epiphany from time to
time.

I guess epiphany was migration my password database from some storage
to some other storage, but having to press the "Allow Always" button
about 50 times to get my browser up and running... When this shiny new
epiphany makes it into testing, and further into stable will really
piss a lot of people.

Either Epihany should say "I'm going to do X, and for that I'll read
all your passwords, are you ok?" or tell the same and "You will now
have to click XXXX times in the 'Always Allow' button". But presenting
such dialogs withouth any previous warning is a bad thing IMHO.

Regards,
Marc
