Since the blow up User Id's and Passwords to various sites no longer pop in by clicking in the requestors. I was able to retreive my UIDs and Passwords but I now have to obtain them from the Hamburger, Passworkds, etc. for each site I visit that requires a login. Twice for each site...one foe UID and again for Password. That is currently the worst problem I am facing but other damage was done with the update.

Suggestions for fixes are welcome.

I need to edit the hidden passwords. There are two types of passwords. I don't know their specific names.

1) When you use the Password Manager you can view, edit, or delete passwords for specific sites. This is NOT what I'm referring to. 2) When you go to any site, before you do anything else, clicking on the login box, it displays a list of passwords from some hidden location I can't find.

I incorrectly typed in a user name ending in with .gmial (ai reversed) instead of gmail (correct). Now it shows up on the list of automatic entries when I click on the login box. It sometimes ends up as the entry that doesn't work.

Where and how do I edit the hidden password list?

Preferred Choice for Saved Passwords depending on Domain

Hey folks and folkins.

I save all my passwords to my firefox.

I created a password for privileged access to my firefox at configuration time at some service. Recently (about half a year ago!) I created a new user at the same service (the same domain). The new login was used two times and is now stalled to log-in. It was simply a monitoring user.

Each time I visit the domain I get prompted with the monitoring user instead. I can not simply focus the username and select my previous user from the drop-down. Nor does firefox-password learn my preference (which is a good thing, I guess).

Nonetheless: I have to delete the username, write the first character of my user and then I can select my password. I find it cumbersome since I do this multiple times a day.

Imho there are privacy solutions which could be applied. I don't see any existing options in the UI.

Sincerly, Thomas

I open a window on chatgpt.com. I clic on "connexion" to connect me. on the new page, I clic in the field used to connect with a mail address. there is the dashlane icon in it. normally, a subwindow opens, showing the differents identifiants I can use, I clic on the one I choose, but now, this subwindow appears AND disapears immediately, it is not possible to clic on it, it is so fast it is not possible to read in it. this is very new, a few days only. I gave the latests versions of dashlane (6.2637) and firefox (155.0.1). the last version od dashlane was installed the 3 od september, and it has well worked after. Nota : I have also a smaller problem with webmail (of free), the identifiant field is well done, but not the password field.

Why Can't Firefox's Auto-Fill Put in the Correct Passwords for Firefox/Mozilla's own Sites?

Sometime I can sign in, sometimes I can't, and have no idea why this is so. I tried logging in to the Mozilla Support site, but at first the auto-fill kept putting in log-in info for a completely other site. Then when I looked up the correct info, and entered it manually, I got: "Your account has been blocked after multiple consecutive login attempts"

And that's all, no mention of what options I had, reset the password, or how long I would be blocked from logging in, nothing, but that my account was blocked!! Then I tried to log into the community forum, and that went fine, so why not the log in to the Support site???? I've logged into both many times previously, yet all too often, there is some glitch or another, stopping me from logging in. Why does FF's own auto-fill feature not get it right? Isn't that the point to it, so we can be logged in automatically?

If I'm having some kind of issue with the browser, and need to seek help, the last thing I want to deal with is being prevented from even getting to do so! How can I get this to stop happening?

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.

A list of logins appears that aren't related to the site

Not sure I understand this.... I know all about the saved logins & passwords that I can find under settings and I use that list regularly. But sometimes I have a site that isn't listed in my list. Perhaps it's been a very long time since I used it etc...

But when I click on the user or login field for the site, a list of user names will appear and it's obvious that these are not related to this site. For example I'm on a specific site this morning and I see a list of 6 user names, including my regular email address, another email that I sometimes use, 3 variations of a common user name I use, and a long number.

If I go to the saved password list and search for this site, it isn't listed. If I sort by user name, I can't really search for the usernames that are more common but I can look for the long number and 1 variation of the user name

  • Bulleted list item I see the long number and the site it's associated with and it's not this site.
  • Bulleted list item I do not see the specific variation of the user name

So....

  • Bulleted list item Why does the user name that is a long number appear in a list when I click on the user field at the website when it's associated with another website?
  • Bulleted list item Why does a variation of the user name appear in the same list when it is not shown anywhere in the saved password list.

I've seen it happen many times and what's really strange is that on 1 site clicking on the user name field will bring up a list that contains unassociated user names and another website might bring up a different list of unassociated user names! Really strange. Where are these tidbits of information being saved?

auto-fill fields not properly submitting

I've seen this on a few sites and it sounds like this person also experienced this. It happens on Linux and Window. I don't think it's a new bug/behavior.

I'll use vanguard.com as an example.

1. Visit investor.vanguard.com site. Click that you'd like to log on. 2. I'll be placed on a login.vanguard.com page that displays a Username field and a Password field. Because I've logged in before, those fields are yellow and filled in with the proper values. (In the case of the password field, it's all stars, but when I click to reveal the password, it's the correct password.) 3. Click on the "Log In". 4. The browser rerenders the page claiming that the userid or password is wrong.

But if I follow the above steps, but add a step:

2.5. I slightly edit both (one is not sufficient) fields, removing a character and putting it back in so the values are edited but not changed. As I do this the fields become white instead of yellow.

Now when I reach step (4), I'm actually logged in without complaints.

The underlying AJAX request is pretty cryptic, so I can't quickly spot/debug what happens at that level, but I assume the page is not passing the field values visible as yellow. on the page.

Am I misunderstanding how the yellow auto-fill works? (On most sites it works as I expected and no reediting the autofilled fields is necessary.)

Can this be fixed or should I put up with it?

At some point I thought it would be a good idea to save my password for Amex and wells fargo so that I didn't have to enter it every time. When I go to their websites from firefox, they automatically populate at the sign in screen. How do I erase that ?
