Password not in Lockwise --- Where is it?

Firefox 77.0.1, Win 10 Home (latest forced update)

I see many of my passwords are stored in Lockwise. However, one site I frequently go to (pianote.com) and which automatically logs in, is not stored in Lockwise. I searched both alphabetically and "last used" and could not find it. I'm guessing it must be stored in Firefox's old password storage, but I can not locate it. Searched all through the menu options (including "logins and passwords" and "options"), and everything redirects me to Lockwise. The password must be stored somewhere. It's really bugging me that I can't find it.

Background:

I previously used Lastpass. I exported the passwords to CSV and imported to Firefox. Then uninstalled LastPass. Most of these seem to have made it to Lockwise.

I've also disabled 'sync' and 'disconnected' this machine from my phone. Firefox still 'knows' the pianote.com username and password.

Solved. Some web sites ask "Keep Me Signed In". Apparently, if you say yes, a Cookie is created which is used by the site to short-circuit the login process. I deleted all cookies for pianote.com, and that forced the login process and now the login info is stored in Firefox for syncing across my other devices.
