Password Manager warns about password used in an account exposed in a breach but not what account. Why can't Pasword Manager give any detail on the data breach it warns about. Like what account is breached? Would be very helpful to know what account has been exposed!

The 'eye' link to view the password or the 'copy' link doesn't work. I've tried to export the passwords - that didn't download. iMac 2020 - using macos - SeQuoia 15.7.4

Recommendations?

I do not trust google/chrome AT ALL and I have paid for Mozilla Firefox features such as VPN with another reputable antivirus software company but I can't find where or how to install a .csv file to import all passwords over for a permanent transition to Firefox use afterwards. Thank You!

Your settings window is no longer intuitive. I followed the path I usually take to find my saved passwords an d they aren't there. I can't log in to some web sites because I don't remember them without Firefox's help. HELP!

115.40.0esr on Mac OS High Sierra v. 10.13.6

When attempting to enter log in information automatically, the expected notification appears and is confirmed, but the "Logins & Passwords" repository remains empty.

When attempting to enter log in info manually, from the "Logins & Passwords"page, the error message "an error occurred while trying to save this password" pops up after filling the fields under "Create New Login" and hitting the "Save" button.

I know I'm working on borrowed time with this setup, but I'd like to squeeze as much life as I can out of this old Mac, and having a functioning password manager is high priority.

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.

I do not wish any of my passwords to be stored anywhere it isn't absolutely necessary. My own highly secure method I've been using for many years is listing them all on a removable drive that is encrypted and only in my PC's when necessary. Therefore, I wish to disable any and all PW Managers in the software I use. Please instruct me how to permanently disable the PW Manager in all Mozilla software.

Everything is stated above with an explanation of the reason.

Thanks for your help. TJS

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.
