How do I create a strong password with Mozilla's Password Manager when I'm not prompted by it to do so? And, also can it be used to generate a password for something that is outside of the browser?

Thanks in adavance.

Not able to upload my password files. I get an error message that states: Unable to Read File Firefox does not have permission to read the file. Try changing the file permissions. How do I change the file permission?

Hi People ! First time here, so bare with me. My system (desk top PC) was recently HACKED into recently. Which is a story in itself ! (Did you know, that you can actually phone-up a HACKER on Google ?) So have become extremely aware of u/n & p/w's. Not to mention making A LOT of changes in A LOT of places. For yrs I've been so SICK of coming up with p/w's, OVER AND OVER AGAIN, every place I go. Sorry..., I guess I preaching to the choir here. To the point! I've become more interested in changing over to these 'Passkeys' I keep coming across, instead of p/w's. I have long used the Mozilla Password Manager. (LOVE IT, great work guys !) And am wondering, will IT also use/keep these 'keys' like I'm used to with the MPM ? Thanks for reading and yr time... Sammy

trying to save new password for website, nothign works

clearing cookies

nothing clears

what is wrong with this functionality?

Could this be due to a Firefox update, extension (e.g. LastPass), or syncing?

I’ve noticed in Firefox Password Manager that a large number of saved logins all show the same “last used/updated” date in the past (e.g. July 2020). This includes websites that I know I did not visit or log into at that time.

I am now in a situation where I’m being accused of attempting to access a site on that specific date, but I strongly believe I did not.

Can anyone clarify whether this behaviour could be explained by something like:

- A Firefox update,

- The installation or update of a browser extension (such as LastPass), or

- A syncing/importing process that might change timestamps for multiple entries at once?

I’ve attached screenshots from Firefox to show how this appears....there are LOTS of sites that have this date on them, not just the one that I am being accused of trying to access.

Any insight into why these “used/updated” dates might change in bulk would be extremely helpful.

my password manager has deleted every single password I have which I do not memorize forcing me to start from scratch but I have valueable accounts that I do not remember the password to so is there a way you could return my passwords?

Apparently I set up a Passkey when I log into my credit card account. I just want to delete that and rely only on the standard Username and Password method I've never had a problem with. I thought that could be done through the credit card account but they tell me thats something controlled by the browser. So....how do I just delete this Passkey from Firefox ?

A screen shot is attached showing the Passkey button.

alright having so many bloody sign in for everything i tend to track of what sign in i use for admin purposes... and the password manager is misaligned for stuff and it saves passwords all the time without logging the login...

so Mozilla is the I AM amd the aws is the root

I am a little off kelter...

Um, please forgive my verbal diarrhea, and I just want to get to the bottom of it

people manager has over 200 logins..

maybe some suggestions on taming the growing issue.

thanks

I exported the passwords from Firefox to a .CSV file. I brought the CSV file into Excel. The 3 rightmost columns are labelled timeCreated timeLastUsed timePasswordChanged. The contents appear to be 13 digit integers like 1459431833997 (in Firefox this shown as 'Mar 31, 2016').

Is there a way to have those a human-readable date fields?

I have many on-line accounts, but the Password Manager prohibits acct name, & note (for purpose, date, reference, etc), allowing only a URL, UId, & Pw. It is like having a hundred unremarkable keys on a 10# key ring. Can you think of any way to get around this problem, or better, can the PM have even one more field for user use, if only to name or link to a local account file?

Why the hell do I have to keep signing in to show my passwords? I do not sign out but yet when I try to sign in to anything that I've used a password before the damn thing is not there. I'm getting disgusted with firefox and I've used it only for many years but you keep screwing around with something that worked fine and now it's all screwed up. I wish you would just leave things alone. I was having a problem with getting my bookmarks and favorites but it appears that has been fixed. I had to delete and re-install farefox several times to get all that back but lately it's staying there.

Need to delete a company I used to work for off Firefox, when I go on the page, your system always tries to load their page. I don't want that; I want them removed. https://cms.northstaria.com/

I was trying to register with a new website. Firefox suggested dG@5 as the securely generated password, which being only four characters is obviously insecure. Not surprisingly, it wasn't acceptable, as the website required at least eight characters. I tried deleting the password in both fields and trying again, but Firefox kept suggesting the same insecure password. Even after restarting the registration process I was offered the same password. I have used this feature many times previously, and have never had this happen before. Why has this happened? Is there anything that I can do to stop it happening again? Is there anyway that I can force Firefox to come up with a different password if I don't like its first suggestion? And, is Firefox's system really secure, if it does this?
