Firefox lets you control whether or not to autofill your logins and passwords.

Firefox automatically saves and fills in your login information by default, so you wouldn't have to enter them every time. This article explains how you can control whether or not to autofill your passwords. __TOC__ =Enable/disable login autofill= #[[Template:fx29menu]] #[[Template:openlockwise70]] The Firefox ''about:logins'' page will open in a new tab. #[[Template:lockwisesettings]] #* The Firefox [[Template:optionsorpreferences]] {menu Privacy & Security} panel will open to the '''Logins and Passwords''' section. #; [[Image:Fx80settings-LoginsAndPasswords]] #Add a checkmark next to '''Autofill logins and passwords''' to enable it, or uncheck to disable it. {note}'''Note:''' Some websites have a limit on the length of the password field.
