Firefox Community Forum

Please Help - I'm doing something wrong. Firefox makes me log in to websites when I have saved the password and kept the cookies. Why? Obviously I don't understand firefox's password procedures.

In my settings my user name and password are saved for specific sites. (others I have set to Never remember) Password options are set as follows: Ask to save passwords - ticked Fill usernames and passwords automatically - ticked Suggest strong passwords - ticked Suggest Firefox Relay email masks to protect your email address - ticked Show alerts about passwords for breached websites - ticked Require device sign in to fill and manage passwords - not ticked Use a Primary Password - not ticked Allow Windows single sign-on for Microsoft, work, and school accounts - not ticked

Cookies and Site Data settings are: Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed - ticked In the “Exceptions”/ Exceptions for Cookies and site data option all the web sites which I want to keep and log in automatically are listed with “allow” In other words, I am trying to delete Cookies by default, but keep them for these specific websites, as an exception.

I therefore expect Firefox to automatically log me into those specific websites when I visit them So why does Firefox make me log in again every time I visit those specific websites?

According to Firefox Help, "After you have defined and set your Primary Password, you will be prompted to enter it once for each Firefox session, when Firefox needs access to your stored passwords." But since updating to version 136.0 I get asked for my Primary Password even to see my home page. Why is this?

Hello all "Please enter your master password." This window appears at every turn. Reset? The security key is denied... And I am unable to close the account... It's a dead end for me. Help please ! Eloa

Why do I need to enter the PW every time I start Firefox, even when not accessing the information? This is a ridiculous loss of time. You really want user to migrate to more user friendly browsers?

PILNA POMOC

Dzień dobry, potrzebuję pomocy w odzyskaniu swojego hasła głównego do wszystkich innych haseł. Pomocy. Ustawiłam je ostatnio i zapomniałam go. Bardzo proszę o pomoc bo utracę dostęp do wszystkich innych moich haseł.

Firefox now requires me to use a passkey to log in to YouTube. I don't have (or want) a passkey. My computer locks up solid, and I have to reboot when I cancel the request for a passkey. I can log in to YouTube on my Samsung S10+ tablet and S25 phone without problems. This problem only occurs on my Windows 10 computer. It is impossible to bypass this issue.

Over the past two months, Firefox has asked me to enter my master password more than once... I don't know if this is normal. I know I'm supposed to enter my password when I log in, but after 5 minutes it asks me again. I don't think this is normal.

Could you please comment on this.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Sincerely,

I got a new desktop PC and used PCmover software to migrate all data, apps, and settings to the new PC from the old. Since that time, every time I sign into my primary password to access my passwords, I must repeat my primary password 3 times. What gives? This is getting annoying.

I have used my primary password which i have written down for 2 days now and no problem. I go to use browser tonight 4/12 and it's not accepting my primary password which i have entered correctly several times. Can someone PLEASE HELP as soon as possible???

Thanks!

Normally, when I open my FF browser, a box opens asking for my Primary Password which I enter and then whenever I go to a website for which I have a username and password saved, they are filled in automatically. Occasionally the box for login doesn't open when I first open the browser (I don't know why) and when that happens, I go to Settings|Privacy & Security| click on "Saved passwords", which opens a page listing all the websites for which I have saved usernames & passwords. I finding the entry for the site I wish to log into, click "copy password" and a login box opens asking for my Primary Password which I enter and all is well. I copy the password for the site I want to use and after that, whichever site I visit, the username & password are automatically filled in.

However, this morning, that didn't happen. When I clicked on "Saved passwords", a new tab opened with a header in the middle of the page labelled "Save your passwords to a new spot". The text below the header had several hyperlinks, none of which worked. At the top of the page was a ribbon with the phrase "Please enter your Primary Password to view saved logins & passwords". Beside that phrase was a login button. When I click on the login button it just jumps up & down but no login box opens. I can't login and I can't see my passwords.

I have posted an image of the page in question below.

My FF updated this morning to 137.0.1 (64 bit). Perhaps that is the problem, I don't know. Can anyone offer a solution? Thanks for any ideas you can suggest to solve this problem ~ Boyd

Hello, I very recently changed my Master (Primary) Password and have forgotten the new one, I still remember my old one, but that is irrelevant. Is there any way I would be able to get into see my saved passwords as I have no other access to them other than on this specific device. I do not want to reset my password and lose all saved data.
