I created an account today and let Firefox generate a password, clicked save and everything seemed normal. but when i went to login on another devise and pulled up the password i find is my SSN.

I am baffled how this happened. Why is it not designed it automatically save the created password when creating the password? Why and How did it find and save my SSN? I don't understand how the computer messed that up, I created and saved the password then I gave my information including my SSN to finish creating my account. Then the last step to create the account was to download the app and login on my phone. So I go to my Logins and passwords and find the password it saved was my SSN not the random password it created the account with.

I don't know what to do, probably have to start over if it cannot be recovered. But I want to complain about about Firefox picking out my SSN. Failing to save the password is one thing, But replacing it with my SSN is wrong. And i do not think I made a mistake here when all I did was click two buttons, create password and save password. they popped up one after the other I clicked them both in seconds from one another. My SSN was not on the page at the time, I created and saved the password and gave my SSN in different steps one before the other. I cannot rationalize how this happened.

Open Firefox, click Menu and select Preferences. From the left panel, select Privacy & Security. Scroll to Logins & Passwords, then click Saved Logins. Click Show Passwords.

Hope this helps.
