Hello,

Thank you for posting about your login issue.

Please see /questions/1286160 and Firefox asks for authentication (password, voice, face or fingerprint) when accessing passwords.

Also see Use a Primary Password to protect stored logins and passwords and Reset your Primary Password if you've forgotten it.
