Bug Description

Both these pages:
Ubuntu Single Sign On
Lauchpad Login Service (should I file another bug?)
are not keepassx friendly, and potentially to any other software that fills the user/pass automatically for the user, using the window title (webpage title). It's a simple 'Log In' instead of e.g. 'SSO Log In' and 'Launchpad Log In'.

Agreed. We should be more descriptive with those titles. Perhaps "{service name}: login or register"? No need for a separate bug for the launchpad service

Yes, that would be perfect. I thought it should be relatively easy to fix, but the bug's been around for over a year now :(

@karni: is this an escalation request from Ubuntu One or just a personal observation?

Oh, no! Thank you Stuart, that's purely personal observation. This is not an escalation request :)

FYI, KeyPassX is being recommended in the new Canonical Password Policy so this is bound to be more of an issue going forward.

Would be really cool to revive this one. It's just a title.. :')

Password managers should use the actual URL to disambiguate and not only rely on the page's title for identification. While the change is potentially simple, not changing anything is even simpler and since this has been around for almost 9 years with only 2 people interested / marked as affected, I think it's not really necessary.
