I have two e mails, but when i try to go to my secondary email [email 1 removed]@gmail.com i always get my primary one, [email 2 removed]@gmail.com. why?

Been working with Last Pass support with this problem and it appears it is a Firefox problem not Last Pass. In the past when I closed my browser and then reopened it later, I had to enter my credentials to log into Last Pass, that all of sudden changed. Now when I open my browser, the credentials are automatically entered, exposing all of my credentials to someone who merely opens my browser. There are several items that lead to a Firefox problem: 1) I have Last Pass also on MS Edge, it acts correctly; 2) If I log out of Last Pass before closing Firefox, then when I reopen Firefox, I must enter my credentials to log into Last Pass. Firefox seems to be "remembering" the status of Last Pass when I close the browser, then reopen. We (myself and Last Pass support team) know all "boxes" that should be checked in Last Pass are and all that should not be checked are not. I even uninstalled Last Pass, no different. I went to uninstall Firefox, but was recommended to "Refresh" so I did, no help! Using Firefox ver. 149.0.2 (64 bit). I see this problem as a security issue, putting all of my credentials for all websites in jeopardy. At this time it seems my only solution is to change browsers to Edge or Chrome, however, I have been a Firefox fan since almost the beginning of Firefox and don't want to give it up--please help.

Hello, I'm really confused about the autofill feature. I've been using this feature for years and noticed that on some website the password field is filled in, but the username is not. I searched the support pages and forum topics, and it seems that is a very common issue. According to what I read, it could be either:

1. The webmaster decided to tell the browser not to fill in the username, but let the password to be filled in.
2. The webpage use some out of standard approach to name the username field, so Firefox is unable to recognize it.

What annoys me is that there's no way to understand if it's the first or the second case, so you just accept it.

It would be very helpful if Firefox could:

1. Provide a way to understand what the real problem is.
2. Add an option to override moronic security approach of the web designer, so the "do-not-fill-in-this-field" property is overridden.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this!

I've just tried to open 2 frequently used sites where my username and password come up automatically, but they are not doing that now. Could you please see that I am still registered for Firefox or did someone place me in another browser without my permission?

I accidentally typed my protonmail password into the field of my username/mail address. I don't remember what more I did (propably answered yes to save) but now there is as autofilled my password for username always I open my Protonmail account. I am using Firefox as browser (should be the newest version) while Emailing.

I tried to delete autofill of Firefox according to the next advise: "go to Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll to "Forms and Autofill," and uncheck "Autofill addresses" to stop saving them"

Then I was astonished. There is no "Forms and Autofill" setting on my Firefox at all!

Protonmail settings didn't help either nor Windows 11 - neither FAQ.

Bank site allows autofill for username but does not allow autofill or manual fill for password. Access to the site worked fine 3 weeks ago. Autofill works with MS Edge.

It's very hard for me to find where to go after clicking on the three line symbol in right hand corner. But when I finally did locate in Settings the section on passwords and sign-in info I turned that off. I was happy until I again signed into Mozilla and Amazon and my email address (which I use for ID) continued to pop up. Why do these things have to be so hard to find and then to make work. Please help. Thank you.

Unable to Log into website after using autofill of credentials. I am able to log in when I manually type in credentials, but not when it is auto-filled. Please help

I asked the following question and was sent to this answer, which does not apply to current versions of Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1228045 My question: how do save a username on Firefox for a website without saving a password because I do not want to save the password?

In doing some trouble shooting they had me clear my cash and I now have to enter the login info for each program where in he past FF entered it automatically.

I can find no way to get FF to do so again.

I have firefox as my default browser with Bitwarden extension. I use yahoo and sign in for browser. I also have outlook for email. Maybe a month back, when signing into yahoo, I would type in the first few letters and bitwarden login options would appear. They still do but selecting one seems to do nothing now. If I open bitwarden and try autofill from the login file, it says it cannot autofill, items must be copied and pasted. Its odd that in yahoo home page login the options appear but do not autofill as they used to maybe a month ago.

Hello !

How can I retrieve password and usernames that are saved in the login forms of visited websites ?

I know how to see "password and login" in Mozilla settings (Private life & Security / Saved Passwords).

But on some websites, the connection to my account is automatic : password and usernames are saved in the login forms (like cookies may be ?), and they are not present in Mozilla setting and Saved Passwords.

I didn't find anything in the web on my request.

Is it possible te recover this recorded data ?

Thank you by advance.
