One use-case I hit recently is when having multiple Private Windows. Assuming visiting a site, B, and wanting to use two different username+password combinations.

If Window A->Site A needs to remain open but Window B->Site B is closed, and a new Private Window (opened using File > New Private Window) that we'll call Window C visits Site B the expectation is this is a 'clean' session.

But Window C->Site B then presents the same auto-generated password as was created in Window B->Site B even when using a different username.

ALL Private Windows have to be closed for the 'session' to be removed so that new passwords are generated.




I would expect two private windows to be using two separate isolated containers and according to the bug report, different containers won't generate the very same password.


All private tabs share the same container and it is only thrown away when you close them all. Otherwise you would not be able to move tabs between private windows for instance


>>> Otherwise you would not be able to move tabs between private windows for instance

I am not sure how this is related, but I can have multiple containers running within the same Windows and I can drg and drop these tabs between Windows without them changing their containers.
