I noticed a possible bug or quirk regarding the "Use a Securely Generated Password" feature where it sometimes generates duplicate passwords for websites where the user may have alt accounts. I was attempting to change a password on a duplicate account for a website, and I ultimately decided to change both the password for my alternative account and main account for this website.

The website allowed for me to supply my old password in order to specify a new password within my account. For both accounts, I was allowed to change my password using the "Use a Securely Generated Password" feature. However, the password generated was the same password for both accounts. These accounts have little or no relationship. Is this a limitation of the software or a bug?

Do both accounts have the same username and is the origin (protocol and hostname) the same as Firefox doesn't look at the path name, so if the hostname is the same then Firefox shows the current password ?

Note that you can edit/modify a generated password and possibly add symbols and other characters before accepting it.
