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?

I receive multiple password requests when using the Firefox browser. Every website, every link change, every everything? How do I turn Firefox's password requirement off?

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to Firefox to get the PIN because Plusnet closed down our email account without telling us, so my old email address is no longer valid..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:

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.
