I use Firefox Android and Bitwarden Password Manager.

When I try to generate a passkey for some website Firefox asks me for the device to store the passkey. The only suitable Option is "This Device". When I tap it, i am asked for authentification (Fingerprint). After Authentification the website gives me a success message and the whole process is complete but the passkey isn't stored anywhere.

In every other browser on android I am asked for the entry in Bitwarden where the passkey should be stored. On windows this works with Firefox

Is it intended to work only when passkeys are stored in Firefox itself? At least a hint that it doesn't work with external Password Managers would be helpful - lost passkeys are a pain

I was trying to register with a new website. Firefox suggested dG@5 as the securely generated password, which being only four characters is obviously insecure. Not surprisingly, it wasn't acceptable, as the website required at least eight characters. I tried deleting the password in both fields and trying again, but Firefox kept suggesting the same insecure password. Even after restarting the registration process I was offered the same password. I have used this feature many times previously, and have never had this happen before. Why has this happened? Is there anything that I can do to stop it happening again? Is there anyway that I can force Firefox to come up with a different password if I don't like its first suggestion? And, is Firefox's system really secure, if it does this?

Hi,

I had some hardware problems on my old PC and for some reason most likely to do with accounts when I restarted on Win 11 on new PC I had lost the majority of passwords saved to the Browser Password manager.

I have lost my old email address and am having some issues working out whether for some reason on the old system I was using my old email address to log in.

Is there any workaround to trying to determine whether I have a seperate account possibly linked to old mobile or email account that may link to the Password manager that contains my old PC systems password link.

I am setting up a more secure way to save passwords also? Is it better to use a portable hard drive rather than something cloud based for passwords?

I am a senior and at times do make some elementary mistakes with digital literacy so sympathetic answers would be greatly appreciated.

Password Manager will not save a URL larger than the first few words (base URL). But the site necessary to login contains more directions after the "xxx.com", and Password Manager truncates everything after the ".com" so it will not return to the proper site to login.

I have just bought NordPass password manager after seeing it the best recommended on a website. Then I find that Firefox does not recommend it. Does Firefox have a password manager ?

I am able to save passwords during a Firefox session but when I close Firefox and then open it again the passwords are all gone.

I have checked settings for Privacy and Security and have tried various combinations including Remember History and a variety of combinations under Use Custom Settings for History.

I am running Firefox 137.0 (64-bit) under Windows.

Any assistance gratefully received. This is an annoying and time-consuming problem.

Thanks!

I have configured Firefox to use a proxy, and I stored the credentials in the password manager. However, every time I open Firefox, it asks me to enter the credentials again.

How can I store the proxy credentials persistently?

No FireFox icon on my desktop, though icon for Adobe Acrobat, which I just got from FireFox for FREE! Delightful, THANK you very much. How do I access it's Search Engine, which is why came here, sent by the recommendation from my bank's agent, with regards to my passwords FAILING after each new passwords initial acceptance, but told INVALID next time try to use VALIDATED new password. Most FRUSTRATING.

Recently returned to Firefox from a detour in Chrome. One thing that Alphabet was doing that I was satisfied with was their password manager. It suggested complex passwords. Is there a similar feature in Firefox?

How can manually add a web address and password to the saved passwords list? When I visit one particular website I need to enter the password and the SAVE PASSWORD popup doesn't come up.

In the Security Measures overview, under Manage Passwords, I see the following: 3 passwords may have been exposed through data breaches.

All 3 websites with data breaches belong to Facebook.

I permanently deleted all Facebook accounts more than 3 years ago.

Without Facebook accounts, I can't and don't need to change my passwords, right?

Thanks and regards
