I have a small usability suggestion regarding browser password managers.

When a website changes its domain (for example, from example-old.com to example-new.com), existing saved login entries keep the old domain. In many browsers, users cannot edit the domain field of the saved login.

As a result, users must delete the existing password and create a new one, which is inconvenient when managing many accounts.

A simple improvement would be to allow editing the domain/URL field of an existing saved login entry.

Example: example-old.com → example-new.com

Instead of deleting the login, users could just update the domain.

It’s a small feature, but it would significantly improve password management usability.

Thanks for your work on building great products.

Hi all.

I suppose this applies as much to Firefox on the desktop as it does to iOS, really.

I'm having real trouble with passwords, now that I've moved over from Safari to Firefox & Apple have seen fit to create a standalone Passwords app. (Life was so much simpler before they did that!)

I have the extension installed, but I'm getting mis-matches between the two (or three if you count the phone, meaning: Passwords App, Firefox Desktop & Firefox iOS).

I suppose the way it should work in my head is that when Firefox asks me if I want to save a password, it should save it to the passwords app (although I have no problem if it saves the password into the Firefox preferences too) & when I go to log in somewhere, it should call the password from the passwords app, but it doesn't seem to be doing that, I'm just getting multiple versions of log-ins everywhere.

I just had to reset my Instagram log-in. Firefox generated the password & it's now saved in the Firefox passwords list but it hasn't appeared in the Passwords app.

Shouldn't the extension be keeping them synchronised?

Why all of a sudden I cannot reacht my saved passwords anymore. Also it does nit prefill the saved passwords anymore when going to a website. How come Firefox/Mozilla keeps changing these essential things?? It makes it very much so less productive.

I've included a screenshot of what I get when clikcing on the Password tab. The information displayed in this wcreen also does not work. Clicking on Sync, does just nothing, just showing Sync in grey... Clicking on Login above just show this screen screen again. Useless.

Hi everyone 🙋♂

FF password manager seams to record password only for the root website as a reference regardless where we are in the website so... if we need two different psds inside a specific website, we're screwed ! Per instance :

For Fsi.com/account I set one password = p1 and for Fsi.com/webmail I set another password = p2

FF password manager store both passwords under Fsi.com so... the latest set overrides the first set.

How can we force FF password manager to reference the whole website path and not only the website root path ?

Best regards, iBenny

When I am asked for a new password, it seems Firefox pops up with a suggestion. I have "Ask to save passwords" turned off. I want 1Password to generate my passwords and the pop-ups do not follow my 1Password specs. Therefore, I think Firefox is displaying the pop-ups. Is this a known bug?

Does the attached screen grab look like a Firefox pop-up? Tell me what to look for please. If you want the Troubleshooting Info I'll need some time to figure that out and send. Thanks in advance. ~fm

I use Firefox Android and Bitwarden Password Manager.

When I try to generate a passkey for some website Firefox asks me for the device to store the passkey. The only suitable Option is "This Device". When I tap it, i am asked for authentification (Fingerprint). After Authentification the website gives me a success message and the whole process is complete but the passkey isn't stored anywhere.

In every other browser on android I am asked for the entry in Bitwarden where the passkey should be stored. On windows this works with Firefox

Is it intended to work only when passkeys are stored in Firefox itself? At least a hint that it doesn't work with external Password Managers would be helpful - lost passkeys are a pain
