How to chose from multiple saved accounts and passwords for basic auth?

I have my webserver "example.com" configured to ask for basic auth credentials on different paths, like "example.com/siteA" and "example.com/siteB". Login and username are different for "siteA" and "siteB".

Firefox will gladly save both sets of username and password when I type them in and login, but unlike with website login forms like Wordpress, there is no built-in way to select an account in this "native" login popup (see attached screenshot).

I could not find a way to edit my stored passwords to distinguish by path, it only stores the host/domain name "example.com".

Is there something I missed or is this currently not supported?
