I created a Primary Password for the Firefox on my Laptop. I must have written it down incorrectly because Laptop Firefox doesn't recognize the Primary Password when enter it.
Since Laptop Firefox doesn't recognize my Primary Password, I am unable to log into any websites *on my Laptop*. Even if I enter the user name & password manually (vs. trying to use the saved passwords), the Laptop Firefox just asks for the Primary Password.
I am able to access my Firefox account on my Desktop PC and my phone. All three of the devices (laptop, phone, desktop) were being synced, but I turned off the sync when this problem began.
I have read on the Mozilla site that if I have forgotten the Primary Password, then I can "reset" it, however this means I will lose all of my user names and passwords.
I have also read that if I have forgotten my *Account Password*, then I can use my Recovery Key to reset it.
>>Can I use my Recovery Key to reset the Laptop Firefox *Primary Password* without loss of data?
I found the place to reset the Laptop Primary Password, but did not click it because I was afraid everything would be deleted when I clicked "Reset".
>>If my Recovery Key cannot help me reset the Laptop Primary Passwor, does that mean I will lose the user names/passwords for the entire account across all of my other devices (phone, desktop PC)
>>If I Uninstall/Reinstall the Laptop Firefox App, would that eliminate the Laptop Primary Password requirement? In other words, if I did a fresh reinstall of the Firefox app on my Laptop, & then tried to log into my Laptop Firefox account, would it still ask for Primary Password?
Thank you for reading all of this.
