How do I update my passwords?

I forgot to say that I keep my passwords in my FF browser.

Are you able to connect to your Mozilla account and Sync your passwords that way? (Connect Firefox on another device without a QR code)

Or is the problem that you can't get an email needed to connect this installation of Firefox.

Thank you for replying! I don't know about sync...I do not own a cellphone, which is why I need to get my passwords updated on my FF passwords (the only place I keep them), and I thought that was only used for cellphones.? Since I only use FF (Mozilla) on both laptops, am I able to do this? Yes, I am (obviously) unable to use QR codes. I'll try your link. I can do it without having my up-to-date laptop with me?

I'm sorry if I sound completely ignorant, but I guess I am.

Thank you, again!

So when I click on the triple horizontal lines in the upper right-hand corner for the drop-down, there is supposed to be a sync and save data choice to click on, but there isn't one in my drop-down. I tried to log into my account, but a confirmation code needs to be sent to my email to sign in, so that is defeated already.

Thank you, again, jscher2000!

Funny, because I was able to log into the Mozilla support community without needing to get a confirmation code...

Hi Hashachar70, there are two separate things here, because Firefox on this old laptop cannot update the passwords from your other laptop on its own:

1. To update one saved password manually: go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Passwords, find the site, click Edit, change the password and save it. Or log in to the site once with the new password and Firefox should offer to update the saved password.

2. To sync all of them: on this old laptop, go to Settings > Sync and sign in with the same Mozilla account you used on your normal laptop, then make sure Passwords sync is turned on. You do not need a cell phone for this - the sign-in confirmation is sent to your email.

The catch is the last part: if you cannot open your email because its password is the one that is out of date, fix that first - use the email provider's "forgot password" / account recovery on this laptop, or use the password saved in Firefox on this laptop for that email account (Settings > Privacy & Security > Passwords). Once you can open the email, you can confirm the Mozilla account sign-in and Sync will bring the newer passwords over. Without Sync and without the other laptop here, there is unfortunately no way for this laptop to know the newer passwords.
