In the lasts days somebody keep entering my Facebook account no matter how many times I changed the password. Than I saw the credentials in the pic in my saved access. Am I right? That is suspicious? The unauthorized access to fb came from a chrome user.

Please answer quickly ;)

The entry that shows in the screenshot of the Password Manager is what Firefox Sync uses to store the credentials of the Firefox account that are used to connect to Sync.

If you would remove this entry then Firefox won't be able to login to Sync when you start Firefox.

The chrome://FirefoxAccounts entry in the password manager stores the authentication data (kA and kB) in JSON format.

Firefox uses the "chrome://" protocol to access its internal files and use chrome in other cases like userChrome.css (no relation with Google Chrome).

Does anyone else have access to your Facebook? What about all of your computers on the sync?

If you think there is a security issue, alert Facebook. They may be able to help.
