Hi all.

I suppose this applies as much to Firefox on the desktop as it does to iOS, really.

I'm having real trouble with passwords, now that I've moved over from Safari to Firefox & Apple have seen fit to create a standalone Passwords app. (Life was so much simpler before they did that!)

I have the extension installed, but I'm getting mis-matches between the two (or three if you count the phone, meaning: Passwords App, Firefox Desktop & Firefox iOS).

I suppose the way it should work in my head is that when Firefox asks me if I want to save a password, it should save it to the passwords app (although I have no problem if it saves the password into the Firefox preferences too) & when I go to log in somewhere, it should call the password from the passwords app, but it doesn't seem to be doing that, I'm just getting multiple versions of log-ins everywhere.

I just had to reset my Instagram log-in. Firefox generated the password & it's now saved in the Firefox passwords list but it hasn't appeared in the Passwords app.

Shouldn't the extension be keeping them synchronised?

I have many on-line accounts, but the Password Manager prohibits acct name, & note (for purpose, date, reference, etc), allowing only a URL, UId, & Pw. It is like having a hundred unremarkable keys on a 10# key ring. Can you think of any way to get around this problem, or better, can the PM have even one more field for user use, if only to name or link to a local account file?

Why the hell do I have to keep signing in to show my passwords? I do not sign out but yet when I try to sign in to anything that I've used a password before the damn thing is not there. I'm getting disgusted with firefox and I've used it only for many years but you keep screwing around with something that worked fine and now it's all screwed up. I wish you would just leave things alone. I was having a problem with getting my bookmarks and favorites but it appears that has been fixed. I had to delete and re-install farefox several times to get all that back but lately it's staying there.

I wana use fire fox to not allow for google and windows to have complete and utter control over the open web, so I wana use fire fox, one issue, I cant fully transfer all my accounts from google to fire fox, and when I sign in, and my phone tries to search for a password to use, it doesn't use Firefox password manager, so if there could be an update to add cleanly transferring passwords and bookmarks on mobile that would be amazing

Need to delete a company I used to work for off Firefox, when I go on the page, your system always tries to load their page. I don't want that; I want them removed. https://cms.northstaria.com/

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

We are looking to block the ability for a user to store or access saved credentials in the built-in password manager within firefox on mac and we used the following plist to push out a policy via JAMF

While we were able to get the password autofill/prompt disabled, we can still access the manager to view or add credentials manually.

Looking to see if there are some other parameters that can be used to accomplish this ?

<plist version="1.0">

 <dict>
   <key>DisableMasterPasswordCreation</key>
   <true/>
   <key>PrimaryPassword</key>
   <false/>
   <key>OfferToSaveLogins</key>
   <false/>
   <key>OfferToSaveLoginsDefault</key>
   <false/>
   <key>PasswordManagerEnabled</key>
   <false/>
 </dict>

</plist>

just recently my firefox just stopped using all the saved logins and passwords i had saved to my account. but the account is still logged in but says there is no passwords saved to the saved logins and passwords. i tried looking online for solutions but i couldn't find or figure out anything that matched what was happening to me or at a similar time. i have checked the login.json files and it is not corrupt, i tried to see if maybe the extensions i have may have deleted them somehow but they shouldnt be able to do that. i don't know or remember literally any of my passwords because firefox was holding them and would auto fill them and now it says they're gone and they don't have any saved in the browser. i was legitimately ready to try deciphering my passwords from my files to literally get anywhere near to what they could have been

I just purchased 1Password because I need a password manager. I like Firefox and want to continue using it as my browser. My operating system is Windows 11 on a new Dell laptop.

But when I try to use the 1Password icon in the browser to save login information, I get only 3 choices: monitor, relay, and Firefox VPN. None works for 1Password.

I am very frustrated about this and hope my fellow Firefoxers can help me. I am disappointed Firefox offers no tech support.

With the password settings for my domain, it seems to count the saved passwords as if they are for the same account, even though they are different. It also doesn’t show an image or label to indicate which account each password belongs to.

I guess it's just too simple for my needs. Without a field where I'm able to assign a recognizable name to an entry I'm in the position of having to memorize url's, instead of passwords. No gain. Frustrating!!!
