Since the upgrade several days ago, I have not been able to select my saved password on some pages, instead I always see "Use strong password" to create a new one. I have not changed my password or anything, and can still see my account information in the saved passwords setting. How can I recover the way to input my password?

Apparently, if there are input boxes for both a username and a password on the page, my account is automatically set as before. Meanwhile, if there is only a password box, Firefox does not allow me to select my saved password.

How to get my usernames and passwords to auto-fill again?

When I try to enter a password for any website after a few updates ago, I don't get the option to enter my password that's saved in my password list into the fields anymore. I have to manually search, copy, and paste the information in. The app will then ask me if I want to update or modify the login information that is unchanged from what should already be in my browser.

Regardless of whether I say yes or no, the password remains unselectable when I go back to that website, and when I manually enter the information, it again asks me if I want to update the login information.

Hi,

Firefox android provides no master password/primary password protection so passwords in the Firefox password manager are protected only by your lockscreen swipe(yeah, I thought the same thing you just thought).

I need full protection like on Desktop or I can't sync my passwords to Firefox. However, when temporarily enabling password sync on desktop, for example between two desktop devices it also temporarily enables it on android Firefox that you might have synced as well. The upshot of this for me is that I now have all my passwords on android without wanting them there for the above reasons.

So, how do I remove all passwords on my firefox android, without having to reinstall Firefox on the phone?

Firefox for Android works like SHIT with passwords. Why?

Hello!

I want to easily log into iCloud using my Redmi Note 9 android phone using firefox; so I went into settings and carefully added the URL for iCloud and the password and saved it. BUT, when I then go to iCloud URL and try to log in with my email, the password does NOT work! Why?

I must say, I have less and less regard for both apple and firefox. Why, oh why must it be a royal flucking pain in the ass to simply log into a cloud service on your phone? But for apple and firefox, this is evidently asking too much.

firefox on android manages websites and passwords like a sh!t sandwich. For example: when I do log into iCloud with firefox android manually, it DOES NOT prompt to save the password! How stupid is that? You want to log into a cloud server quickly and easily? Dream on! No can do-oh on firefox. You'd better scribble your password on a post-it note and bring it with you; otherwise firefox with flock you.

It really seems as time marches on, these giant tech corporations get sh!ttier and sh!ttier....unaccountable, indifferent to the peasantry who must suffer needlessly using their sh!tty products.

Time to look for a new android web browser as firefox is rubbish.

Have a great day :-)

Firefox on my Android smartphone is well synchronized with Firefox on the computer. I can see that both contain the same list of logins and passwords. When I must log in other applications, there is a notice that appears saying "unlock faierferox" followed by the sign of fingerprints. But when I try to have my fingerprint recognized, nothing happens.

What should I do?

Thanks for helping.

How to export passwords from Firefox Android in readable format like CSV for other password manager apps like KeePass XC or AuthPass? 

Currently as I'm seeing all Gecko-based browsers especially on mobile not just Firefox but also Mull, Fenix, Waterfox and Iceraven, lacks this.

Is this intentional or should I just keep Chrome as my browser because to jump to Firefox, I need basic things to be covered, which I don't see, Mozilla Firefox team doing on its own. 

Other browsers like Opera have proper in-built system of password manager. 

How unfortunate.

I've seen a topic from years ago, this one https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1416148 On the linked bugzilla page, it is considered fixed, however, a few days ago I started noticing the same issue, namely, on pages from websites on which I have multiple logins, tapping on the desired username doesn't do anything, doesn't fill in the required login details, but the saved passwords firefox popup disappears as if it had filled the proper fields/data.

Firefox 130.0 (Build #2016041319) Android 14,device is moto g34 5G Regardless of the network connection used (mobile data / wifi), behavior is the same. On some days it works, and tapping on the username does fill the input fields, on some other days it doesn't work, tapping on the username doesn't do anything.

Bonsoir, Il m'est absolument impossible d'accéder à mes mots de passes enregistrés sans que mon code d'accès me soit demandé sans cesse une fois derrière l'autre, j'ai essayé avec mon fingerprint et c'est pareil, j'ai redémarré mon cell, vidé le cache de Firefox, toujours pareil, j'ai décidé de jouer le jeu un moment pour voir s'il se tannerait de me demander, et je me suis rendu compte que si je faisais au plus rapide possible entre les fingefprints, qu'il fini par se tromper dans son bug et me donner mon accès, je suis en mesure de répéter l'opération, il me donne accès après une douzaine de tentatives ...

J'utilise un: LG G7 ThinQ Version  : LM-G710AWM Android  : 10

Mes app et mon cell sont à jours.

Merci à l'avance pour votre soutiens

Merci
