Firefox includes built-in password management which allows you to manage the usernames and passwords you use to log in to websites. This article describes why your logins might not be saved.

  2. Click Passwords.
    • The Firefox about:logins page will open in a new tab.

Password Manager software

You may have Password Manager software, maybe as a feature included in security software, that prevents Firefox from storing passwords. Check your Password Manager software settings. For more information, see Where are my logins stored?

Remember Password prompt is not displayed

Some graphics driver versions may have problems to display prompts. To see if this applies to you, follow the steps in Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems.

Websites prohibit password saving

Some websites do not allow for passwords to be saved for security reasons. If you have followed the steps above, but are still not prompted to save a password when logging in to a certain website, that site may have disabled password saving.

Sign in with a one-time email code

Mozilla account supports a passwordless sign-in option for selected services. Instead of entering a password, you can use a one-time code sent to your email address.

When you enter your email on a supported service, Mozilla automatically determines the correct sign-in method. If your account is eligible for the passwordless flow, you’ll receive a one-time code by email. Enter that code on the verification screen to complete sign-in. If the code expires, you can request a new one.

You can use passwordless login when creating a new account for a supported service, or when your existing account lacks a password and is not linked to Google or Apple.

Note: Passwordless login cannot be used for Firefox Sync. Sync requires a password because it uses end-to-end encryption to protect your data.
