I use an independent password manager to store my passwords and prefer it over Firefox's because it has a highly customizable generator for creating new passwords. However whenever I am on a new site, Firefox pops up with a prompt to generate a secure new password (it appears as a drop-down from the item text box). My password manager also creates a pop up/drop down, but it is hidden behind Firefox's and I cannot access it. I need to be able to disable the secure password generator prompt. Please take a look at my excellently annotated screenshot, attached.

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

I have my FF preferences setting as "Strict". But somehow Facebook people were able to hack into my FF account, and obtain my password for FB and other passwords? This comes directly from my Firefox preference page Red Warming Box includes & states on Sept 30, 2025 Facebook Hacked & Gained access to my account. Not a person, it states Facebook did it. And to change my FB password ASAP. So I go to my FB account go through their lame motions and they say they will not allow me to do so because I haven't used my account very long and they don't know if it is me trying to change my password. My question is what do I do now and how to prevent any social media outlet of simply hacking into my Mozilla account or my Firefox accounts? Please help. Seems like their should be a law against this type of intrusion gathering save password and etc.

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

The Password Manager is very good, but...

It needs two additional fields.

1) a field for a website name or a note.

2) a 2nd username or email address.

For example, I just added the login information for Bluesky Social. However, "bluesky" is not part of the url. If I later search for "blue" the correct login will not be shown.

Also, the login allows for input of a username or email address. The PW manager should store both.

I have a new e-mail address, so I'm updating all the entries in my about:logins list of passwords. There are a couple of moz-extension entries with very long codes as part of the name. When I click on these in the left-hand column, it appears in the main part of the window where I can edit or remove it. For regular website entries I can click on the link to take me to the site, but with the moz-extension entries I can't do that. Can these be deleted? Thanks!

I want to erase the username and password for my Amazon account. I prefer to sign in manually. I turned off auto fill in settings, but when I want to shop on Amazon and attempt to sign in, Mozilla no longer autofills but it does provide my username which is my e-mail account. I want the popup window to be blank for my username and my password. The only way I can imagine is to stop Mozilla from "memorizing" this information. Is it possible for me to do that?

I’m having such a difficult time with passwords syncing on iPad. For context, I’m up to date on iPadOS, and recent updates for Firefox as well. But for some reason, Firefox will suggest a new strong password for sites that I need to log into that require a new password, and then it won’t update. This is extremely frustrating - I’ll even manually enter the details into Firefox’s password manager, but it won’t save. Does anybody have any idea why this might be happening? Thanks for any tips that might help!

Dear users and support team.

I am now using Zen Browser (based on Firefox) for nearly a month now and loved it ever since. If there was not this one problem, I had, that forced me to switch browsers.

Like in any other browser I have used before, I was able to import and save my passwords from various websites, so that I do not have to remember them fully by myself. I expected, that I could use my fingerprint sensor, or at least my PIN-Code to confirm my passwords, when automatically entering them. However, if i want to log into a website, which requires a password, my password is always automatically, without me ever touching anything entered. So I went into the settings of the browser and toggled the button "Fill usernames and passwords automatically" off. So now they would not pop up automatically anymore and I was happy. This did not last very long however, because, when I wanted to enter the password and authenticate myself before filling in the password by clicking on the pop-up window beneath the password-entering, I can enter my saved passwords without ever scanning my fingerprint reader, typing in my pin or using any other authentication method. I tried various times to change the setting "Require device sign in to fill and manage passwords" from on to off and back again, hoping it would work in some way. I am seriously sad a bit, because I never had a this good and fluid working browser until now. If you cannot help me out here, I see myself forced to use another browser, where I can actually and securely safe my passwords.

Thank you!
