How does FF auto-fill in the Login for my router, if it's not saved it in my PWs?

I go to login to my D-Link EBR-2310 wired router . . . http://192.168.0.1/

I click in the User Name cell, and the login pops up (but it does not do this for the PW, fortunately)

. . . How does it do this? I have not saved this Login in my passwords, intentionally . . . and I verify that nothing is there.

I type in random text ("asdfasdf"), and now that appears as an optional login for the router - how did it save that?

Tools / Options / Privacy & Security / Cookies and Site Data / Clear Data / Clear . . . no change

Tools / Options / Privacy & Security / Manage Data / . . . something for D-Link was in here, I clear it . . . no change

Any idea how Firefox saves this, and how I can clear it?
