I am browsing a website that I am automatically logged into when I log on to the page, through Firefox. My username comes up but I cannot remember the password for the website. When I go to "Saved Passwords" in Firefox it is not there in my list of saved passwords. It has to be saved somewhere on Firefox, where can I view the login information?

Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.

If you can't remember your password to that site then you need to look for a link on that site to reset the current password and let the server send you a new password.

Thank you for the reply.

So in other words, I can't view the password in the cookie.
