Hi Windows 10: After installing Microsoft PC Manager am losing login passwords on restart. Searches say I must solve this in Firefox but need step by step help. If I have to remove PC Manager I will. As always thanks much, Lane

How do I create a strong password with Mozilla's Password Manager when I'm not prompted by it to do so? And, also can it be used to generate a password for something that is outside of the browser?

Thanks in adavance.

Not able to upload my password files. I get an error message that states: Unable to Read File Firefox does not have permission to read the file. Try changing the file permissions. How do I change the file permission?

Hi People ! First time here, so bare with me. My system (desk top PC) was recently HACKED into recently. Which is a story in itself ! (Did you know, that you can actually phone-up a HACKER on Google ?) So have become extremely aware of u/n & p/w's. Not to mention making A LOT of changes in A LOT of places. For yrs I've been so SICK of coming up with p/w's, OVER AND OVER AGAIN, every place I go. Sorry..., I guess I preaching to the choir here. To the point! I've become more interested in changing over to these 'Passkeys' I keep coming across, instead of p/w's. I have long used the Mozilla Password Manager. (LOVE IT, great work guys !) And am wondering, will IT also use/keep these 'keys' like I'm used to with the MPM ? Thanks for reading and yr time... Sammy

what is wrong with this functionality?

Could this be due to a Firefox update, extension (e.g. LastPass), or syncing?

I’ve noticed in Firefox Password Manager that a large number of saved logins all show the same “last used/updated” date in the past (e.g. July 2020). This includes websites that I know I did not visit or log into at that time.

I am now in a situation where I’m being accused of attempting to access a site on that specific date, but I strongly believe I did not.

Can anyone clarify whether this behaviour could be explained by something like:

- A Firefox update,

- The installation or update of a browser extension (such as LastPass), or

- A syncing/importing process that might change timestamps for multiple entries at once?

I’ve attached screenshots from Firefox to show how this appears....there are LOTS of sites that have this date on them, not just the one that I am being accused of trying to access.

Any insight into why these “used/updated” dates might change in bulk would be extremely helpful.

my password manager has deleted every single password I have which I do not memorize forcing me to start from scratch but I have valueable accounts that I do not remember the password to so is there a way you could return my passwords?

Apparently I set up a Passkey when I log into my credit card account. I just want to delete that and rely only on the standard Username and Password method I've never had a problem with. I thought that could be done through the credit card account but they tell me thats something controlled by the browser. So....how do I just delete this Passkey from Firefox ?

A screen shot is attached showing the Passkey button.
