Generated password

Hi! A few minutes ago I was in the process of signing up for a website- creating an account log-in and password. Firefox asked if I would like to use an automatically generated password- which was displayed. Of course this is nothing new and I always say yes. The password automatically saves (or I guess it asks me first and I say yes) to the password section in the browser settings. Always easy! But this time it did not save it- I tried it twice and neither time it saved. I read some of the support posts and someone advised to make sure it was checked in my iOS settings. It was NOT so I checked it. But strange because it’s always saved all the others? Anyway I was wondering if there’s a way to see recently generated passwords similar to what the iOS password generating and saving tool has been doing for a little while now (not implying anything here!). That’s all I guess, thank you so much!!

It sounds like Firefox didn’t save the generated password this time. Make sure “Offer to save logins and passwords” is enabled in Firefox settings. Unfortunately, Firefox doesn’t have a separate “recently generated passwords” list like iOS, so if it wasn’t saved, it can’t be recovered from the browser. You might need to generate a new password and save it again.
