I-Firefox Community Forum

I believe that Firefox had a recent update which was auto implemented after-which my entire collection of saved passwords disappeared off of my Desktop computer. Over the next couple or more weeks I reconstructed many of the passwords and was heading back to normal. Today, for unknown reason my entire collection of saved passwords have again been erased and I do not know how and assume they are not recoverable so am back to square one. On my home computer I have it set to not allow auto updates and have a Firefox update waiting and hesitate to allow it, expecting the same result there to my saved passwords. Nothing significant has been done to or with my computer in this same time period so am at a loss as to why this happened not just once but now twice with cause unknown (I am unaware of any second Firefox update in the interim which could have caused this but cannot rule this out).

Hey! Hope you're all doing well. This is a request more than a question. Is it possible to include a short notes field in the stored passwords area? Often, the login address for a service/website/account is completely different than the name the the business service/website/account name. And if a user can't remember what the sign-up login link is called, it can be an enormous pain in the memory banks to try to remember what it is or think of a way to find the info.

Is it possible to add a field for notes where users can note details like that? Or does that introduce safety risks?

I just thought I'd put that out there, cause there's nothing more frustrating (maybe) than having to stop when you're on a roll to reconstruct how you access an account. On top of having to send out 2nd verifications to all our devices, set up special all access pins, etc.

Honestly, its getting crazy out here with all the steps it takes into to log into our digital worlds. That one little step, would make accessing our digital lives a sliver more simple. At least for me. I have no idea if anyone else feels this way.

That's my 22-cents (inflation). Hopefully this will make its way into your suggestion box. Thanks!

Ich habe seit einiger Zeit das Problem, dass sowohl in Firefox als auch in der Thunderbird-SW die Passwortmanager unregelmäßig automatisch (?) gelöscht werden. Sämtliche Passwörter habe ich in einer Datei gesichert, es ist aber unheimlich lästig, wenn ich dauernd die Datei wieder einlesen muss. Auf meinem Laptop habe ich dieses Problem nicht. Beide Geräte werden mit Windows 11 betrieben.

l cannot access my saved passwords in firefox.wehn l open passwords, l am unabel to view or use my savwd passwords. please help me recover access to my saved passwords.

After the last upate on browser all password disappear. I can`t to create new password and browser don`t ask me to remember password. How to restore my password? It`s don`t synchronysed with browser on the other device!!!

I use Proton Pass and sometimes it pops up and sometimes not. Extension is installed. But Firefox pops up to manage password while it is not activated. See image. What can I do to have reliable Proton Pass. Thanks

So, now I've followed your previous advice and reset my password. I've gotten into my Firefox account, which is nice. I've set a Passkey and a Recovery Key. Your site suggests saving the Recovery Key in a Password Manager. So, I downloaded it to do so. But, your browser won't save the pdf that it downloaded! It wants a csv file. What do I do now? Other than write it down, which I've already done, but, that didn't work last time. Both my password and my passkey were unrecognized, which is what got me here and now.

Thanks again, Toña

Every time Firefox (on Windows desktop) updates it loses all passwords. I am able to recover them by syncing from my Firefox Android. Surely, there is a better solution than that. Is there a way to protect the passwords in a file or is there a Firefox setting that needs to be changed?
