Improvement request: configure/use/import global username/password for multiple servers

[rafi-d]

Hi,
There is a list of servers that I like to import. This list is maintained by a third part , that I have an account with (single/same username/ & password of cause). The list does NOT include my username/password.

Every time when I am trying to import it, I need to edit each and every one of the servers, adding my login information.
Can you please add a global setting for username password, and a checkbox per server to optionally use that global login info?

In the import function - also add an option to use that global login info for every server imported (maybe by a checkbox, or some default settings in the format. Adding an option to import from a url (file) canbe helpful too.

It's seems like a small addition that can be very useful to many.

Thanks!

Wouldn't it be easier for either:

1. Your proxy provider to publish the list to you including username and password? For example:
   192.1681.1.2:666:johnConnor:hunterKiller2
   (this is commonly done)
   see https://github.com/foxyproxy/firefox-extension/wiki/Import-Proxy-List

2. If the provider won't do that, open the list in a text editor. use find/replace to insert you username/password on each line before importing into FoxyProxy. For example, if the list is this format:

192.168.0.89:3128 192.168.0.90:2112 192.168.0.91:13371

Find all (.+) and replace with $1:myUsername:myPassword

Tested in VisualCode 1.51.1, Atom 1.52.0, Sublime Text 3.2.2. You can optionally use ^(.+)$ but it is not necessary in the text editors I tested.

Be sure to use turn on regular expression find in your tool.

Hi,
I am aware that I can edit any list. But no, it will not be easier... :) If there is a single login for all, it will be much easier to have a global setting for it to fit all in some "general" setting location, plus provision the servers to use it as default if one was defined (none empty).

And providers cannot proved lists with passwords, since they do not know them, for security reasons (as you can surely imagine).
