my mobile app seems to always have the p. w. & log. ins available where as my desktop will pop-up asks me to at least once "sign. in" .. I believe they are synced .. am concerned for a phone gran & aitomatically having P.W. access to my sites .. am I missing a setting?

The question says it all. I have set up a primary password. On my laptop, I am asked to enter it when I look up a password on my password list. When I look up a password on the mobile app, I am not prompted for the primary password. I can reveal or copy any password. It seems like anyone who got access to my phone could get all the passwords.

After version 149, I find I am asked to provide the Windows password in order to modify or copy saved passwords (but not fill when visiting a site). I had already set a primary password to secure my saved passwords, so this never should have happened. Turning off this setting also prompts for the Windows password. In v151, I recommend that Firefox allow the primary password to be used instead, for both managing passwords and turning off the "require device sign in" setting.

I can understand trying to force password security and encryption upon users who do not have a primary password set, but that should have been accomplished by prompting the user to set a primary password. Users with primary passwords should have been excepted from the change. "Require device sign in" should never have been an option - local system passwords are not designed for this use, and no consumer-grade app should have access to them.

As a CISSP I never recommend that anyone use browser-based password managers at all, but I do use the Firefox one for some non-critical sites. This discovery has been an annoyance, but worse, it reveals a poor understanding of security on the part of Mozilla.

I used to access the passwords and addresses stored on Firefox by putting in my Primary Password. But now it keeps asking me for a PIN. I can't sign in to Firefox to get the PIN because Plusnet closed down our email account without telling us, so my old email address is no longer valid.. We now use Gmail. But I can't change my email address on Firefox as it wants to send the link to my old email address, which no longer exists.. I have a secondary email address on my account, but it goes to my phone, and I don't do emails on my phone. I tried to change it, but to do so, Mozilla want to send a link (or maybe a pass number) to my old primary email address, which no longer exists.

What can I do?

If you are going to email me, please use my new email address: DougRoss70@Gmail.com Do NOT try to email me at my old email address:

I keep getting stopped trying to access my paypal account. FF is asking for a pin number. I didn't even know I had one. When I try to change it, it tells me find the sign in options but I can't locate it. Why oh why is this asking me for this verification.

The username for some website might contain sensitive private information like phone number, identity card number, etc. It would be better if the primary password is required before revealing the password manager page.

bold text whenever I go to a password needed site (account), firefox says passwords blocked and asks for a touch ID or a Firefox (?) password WHICH I DON'T HAVE. Can i change my Firefox password? If so, how??

When I want to view passwords Firefox is asking windows credentials which I don't have. Now I can't get access. It used to ask for my Firefox password what happened.

Suddenly to use Passwords list on Firefox Windows is demanding I sign into Windows, where previously I used the special "master" password I use only on Firefox. I want to disable this intrusion.

Having forgotten the last few figures of my primary password, I am stunned to find that you offer no way to reclaim or rest it without losing all of my saved sites and passwords.

I went to view a password and a dialog box pop up saying that I need to sign in to my Windows Login Credentials which apparently I do not know as it will not let me in. Tried my Microsoft office and also locked out. Will let me change my master Mozilla Log In and auto fill but can not view. How can I disable this

I have always used a master password for years and I love it. Ever since the last update came in it will not keep my passwords after I shut my computer down. I have to re enter them every day. How can I fix this?
