Firefox Community Forum

I use an independent password manager to store my passwords and prefer it over Firefox's because it has a highly customizable generator for creating new passwords. However whenever I am on a new site, Firefox pops up with a prompt to generate a secure new password (it appears as a drop-down from the item text box). My password manager also creates a pop up/drop down, but it is hidden behind Firefox's and I cannot access it. I need to be able to disable the secure password generator prompt. Please take a look at my excellently annotated screenshot, attached.

Hello Can someone help me find all my saved passwords on Firefox ? I can't find them even though I always click on "save" when I want a password saved. Where are they ? I am on my PC running Windows 10 Thank you

I have a new e-mail address, so I'm updating all the entries in my about:logins list of passwords. There are a couple of moz-extension entries with very long codes as part of the name. When I click on these in the left-hand column, it appears in the main part of the window where I can edit or remove it. For regular website entries I can click on the link to take me to the site, but with the moz-extension entries I can't do that. Can these be deleted? Thanks!

Hi,

I had some hardware problems on my old PC and for some reason most likely to do with accounts when I restarted on Win 11 on new PC I had lost the majority of passwords saved to the Browser Password manager.

I have lost my old email address and am having some issues working out whether for some reason on the old system I was using my old email address to log in.

Is there any workaround to trying to determine whether I have a seperate account possibly linked to old mobile or email account that may link to the Password manager that contains my old PC systems password link.

I am setting up a more secure way to save passwords also? Is it better to use a portable hard drive rather than something cloud based for passwords?

I am a senior and at times do make some elementary mistakes with digital literacy so sympathetic answers would be greatly appreciated.

Hi People ! First time here, so bare with me. My system (desk top PC) was recently HACKED into recently. Which is a story in itself ! (Did you know, that you can actually phone-up a HACKER on Google ?) So have become extremely aware of u/n & p/w's. Not to mention making A LOT of changes in A LOT of places. For yrs I've been so SICK of coming up with p/w's, OVER AND OVER AGAIN, every place I go. Sorry..., I guess I preaching to the choir here. To the point! I've become more interested in changing over to these 'Passkeys' I keep coming across, instead of p/w's. I have long used the Mozilla Password Manager. (LOVE IT, great work guys !) And am wondering, will IT also use/keep these 'keys' like I'm used to with the MPM ? Thanks for reading and yr time... Sammy

I guess it's just too simple for my needs. Without a field where I'm able to assign a recognizable name to an entry I'm in the position of having to memorize url's, instead of passwords. No gain. Frustrating!!!

The Password Manager is very good, but...

It needs two additional fields.

1) a field for a website name or a note.

2) a 2nd username or email address.

For example, I just added the login information for Bluesky Social. However, "bluesky" is not part of the url. If I later search for "blue" the correct login will not be shown.

Also, the login allows for input of a username or email address. The PW manager should store both.

I am able to save passwords during a Firefox session but when I close Firefox and then open it again the passwords are all gone.

I have checked settings for Privacy and Security and have tried various combinations including Remember History and a variety of combinations under Use Custom Settings for History.

I am running Firefox 137.0 (64-bit) under Windows.

Any assistance gratefully received. This is an annoying and time-consuming problem.

Thanks!

Why the hell do I have to keep signing in to show my passwords? I do not sign out but yet when I try to sign in to anything that I've used a password before the damn thing is not there. I'm getting disgusted with firefox and I've used it only for many years but you keep screwing around with something that worked fine and now it's all screwed up. I wish you would just leave things alone. I was having a problem with getting my bookmarks and favorites but it appears that has been fixed. I had to delete and re-install farefox several times to get all that back but lately it's staying there.

I have several log in users that pop up when I try to log into web sights. I cant figure out hw to get rid of the wrong ones -- they dot show in saved pass words.. please advise
