I understand how to work with my list of passwords in Firefox. And I understand that a user name seems to be associated with the specific website that it was used on. Recently I brought up intuit.com and expected there to be only 1 username, but I saw a user name (Yahoo email address) that belongs to a guy that does some work for me. I remember him using my laptop to login to yahoo once to get something from his email. But he didn't use intuit.com. Not sure he even knows what intuit would be.

So I went to the password list in firefox and typed in intuit, his user name didn't appear. I tried typing in his email address but it didn't find it. I'm not worried about any security issues. But I want the name removed from the list of users that pops up.

I deleted the cookies for intuit but the user names still pop up.

Any suggestions on how to get rid of this user name?

Greetings...

In regards to the Firefox Password Generator, I have two questions:

Q #1: Currently, the Firefox Password Generator appears to create random passwords that are 15 characters in length. Is there some way that I can increase the length of the randomly created passwords to a longer length, say 18 characters? Might this setting be contained at some location within "about:config" that I could edit?

Q #2: Currently, it appears that the only way to create a password for a new website in the Firefox Password Generator is when attempting to set the password while on a website. I would like to be able to create a password for a website from within the Firefox Password Generator itself. Is there some way that I could accomplish this task?

Thank you for your attention and assistance! Take care...

Hello! I really enjoy using the Firefox browser. I just wanted to suggest that you have an option to write notes in each password profile that can also be secure. My iPhone has a notes section under each password profile. I use it to write info such as my airline advantage number, the email I used with that particular website, membership numbers, etc. I'm getting up there in age, so while I'm working on simplifying my life it helps to make notes to remember stuff. Can you suggest this idea to the right people at Firefox or Mozilla? Thank you for your help and consideration. Carolyn

Note: I am using an older computer at home right now but do use a new computer at work and will be upgrading at home soon.
