bold textPasswords and Sign In

Hi,

I had some hardware problems on my old PC and for some reason most likely to do with accounts when I restarted on Win 11 on new PC I had lost the majority of passwords saved to the Browser Password manager.

I have lost my old email address and am having some issues working out whether for some reason on the old system I was using my old email address to log in.

Is there any workaround to trying to determine whether I have a seperate account possibly linked to old mobile or email account that may link to the Password manager that contains my old PC systems password link.

I am setting up a more secure way to save passwords also? Is it better to use a portable hard drive rather than something cloud based for passwords?

I am a senior and at times do make some elementary mistakes with digital literacy so sympathetic answers would be greatly appreciated.

In web forms that ask for my email address Firefox displays a message 'Manage passwords' instead of displaying me email address. I cannot find a way to disable this irritating feature which means I have to write in my email address every time which in turn increases the likelihood of mistyping my address. I have searched all over the place trying to find an answer but without luck. Can someone tel me how to disable this? Thanks.

The Password Manager is very good, but...

It needs two additional fields.

1) a field for a website name or a note.

2) a 2nd username or email address.

For example, I just added the login information for Bluesky Social. However, "bluesky" is not part of the url. If I later search for "blue" the correct login will not be shown.

Also, the login allows for input of a username or email address. The PW manager should store both.
