Is it possible to add a feature of a description/comment to the about:logins so that you can specify what the u/p is for?

ie, i have sites using ip addresses (that must not be given hostnames) that have a u/p but could do with a description to say what they are for. ie2, i have a website that is used to connect to different devices where the username is always a certain username, but with a different password per device. Firefox offers to change the password saved (but it would be changing it for all devices, not that particular one).

I have no idea what happened but somehow the primary password I had set up many years ago no longer is working. I have tried every interaction of this password and have even tried to reset the primary password meaning I have lost all of my saved passwords but even then I can not reset the password or even start to re-save my passwords. I can not even sync anything right now with my account.

I am not that computer or code literate and am extremely lost on what to do right now.

I have a handful of different reddit accounts. Each has its own password and they're all saved in Firefox's default password manager.

Say I'm logged out and go to log in. If I click on the first field, which is "Email or username," I'm given only two options: one is my email and the other is one of the usernames. If I click on the second field, which is "Password," I'm given all the passwords I've saved.

Obviously, when I click on "Email or username", I want all the saved usernames to appear. If I could select a password and that would auto-fill the appropriate username, that would be almost as good, but that doesn't work either.

What's most mysterious is that in the saved password list, Firefox doesn't have any information associating my email with reddit specifically. And the one username that I have the option to select is always the same one, and I don't know why it's that one in particular. It's not the oldest, or the newest, or the most recently used.

Any help would be appreciated!

I have swapped to Thunderbird and struggling to get my mailboxes up and running Currently my big stumbling block is that I cannot get Thunderbird to remember my mailbox password. I did try checking the box to use the password manager, and it did store it correctly according to the saved passwords in the 'Saved Logins' dialogue in settings but still the problem persists It has worked on occasions but very intermittent and for the past day or so refuses to connect The password that I give to Thunderbird, and the one saved in Saved Logins is correct and works if I try my webmail alternative login Originally I thought the issue may be my Kaspersky Internet Security butting in but I have the same problem when I pause the protection I am out of ides so any help would be gratefully received Regards Greg

I have a password. It works fine on Wave webmail. It fails on Thunderbird. It is not a typo, I am pasting it from my password storage.

How do I set a password in Thunderbird that works?

My Thunderbird often loses the saved passwords. Probably when the connection is not working properly. Then I always have to type in the many passwords again. How can I save the file with the passwords so that I can restore them with a bat job when calling TB?

I enter the primary password for saved password when starting FF as prompted. It takes password fine and works just fine on sites just as designed and has worked for years. Lately last couple weeks since last update to 132.0.1 I notice a change. I didn't notice before this update. When starting Firefox it asks for primary password which is normal, I enter it and all is fine. I can go to sites and all works fine, passwords and user id are entered when prompted. However, later in the day when I go to a site wanting password, I get the prompt to enter primary password again. That never use to happen, once I entered the primary password, it didn't prompt again unless Firefox was restarted. Has anyone else seen this? Maybe it started and I just didn't notice some time ago. I know it wasn't that long ago the primary password prompt didn't have the little eye so you could see what you typed. I liked that, because FF for whatever reason wasn't always realizing I had the shift key pressed. Now with the eyeball I can see that it doesn't have what I typed, but that is not the problem I am asking about. Below is what Mozilla says about primary password:

Important: After you have defined and set your Primary Password, you will be prompted to enter it once for each Firefox session, when Firefox needs access to your stored passwords. This also applies if you want to add, remove or show a password.
