Is there a way I can have Firefox permanently offer the option to generate a secure password? Many, many, MANY times Firefox will not recognize that a particular input field is for a password, and therefore does not offer the option to generate one. Considering everything on this forsaken planet requires creating an account now, this minor issue has become very common and annoying for me.

To reiterate: I would like Firefox to always offer to generate a password, regardless of how the input field is labeled or marked up. Thanks!

edit: I don't know how to delete this. turns out this is a known bug on firefox on linux. Firefox cannot actually save payment info, but doesn't serve an error to the user. however in the console it will throw a NS_ERROR_ABORT error: "User canceled OS unlock entry" error when it tries to save. the one solution i looked at seemed way too complicated for me so i am simply going to give up and try to keep my cc closer to me and not get frustrated when it doesn't work.

Hi there I can't find any solution online for this online so hoping someone can help to explain what is causing this issue.

I have been using Firefox since it came out and have never had an issue retrieving a password. Now neither the 'eye' link to view or the 'copy' link works. I even tried the export - that didn't do anything either. The only thing different is that I am now on a newer (for me) iMac 2020 - using macos - SeQuoia 15.7.4

Not sure if this will effect the browsers security but I do use Bitdefendor - Traffic light is not active on Firefox - just Safari.

Recommendations? Thank you Renée
