Hello, 

Don't find the solution for my problem, so here I go :

FF version 84, Windows 10. I authorised FF to register id and passwords, enabled a general password. In the Options section concerning passwords, all cases are checked.

When I enter FF, the general password is asked before visiting a website. Ok. On the website to visit I enter id and password and enter the site. OK. When I visit the site again, I must enter id and password again .... When I go in Lockwise, no id or passwords are registered.

So I don't understand this. If anyone could help ... Thanks.

Does Firefox offer to save the login (username and password) ?

Note that Firefox won't ask to save the password when you are in permanent Private Browsing mode (Always use Private Browsing mode; Never Remember History).

Details like websites remembering you (log you in automatically) are stored in a cookie; You need to keep such a cookie, otherwise you need to login again.

  • create a cookie allow exception with the proper protocol (https:// or http://) to make a website remember you
  • use "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" to let cookies without allow exception expire when Firefox is closed
  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
    Cookies and Site Data: "Manage Permissions"

In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history.

  • do not clear the Cookies
  • do not clear the Site Preferences
  • clearing "Site Preferences" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exceptions for passwords and other website specific data
  • clearing "Cookies" will remove all selected cookies including cookies with an allow exception you may want to keep
