Add, Edit, and Manage Passwords in Firefox on the Computer

Firefox browser helps store the passwords and login credentials. When we enter our username and password for a website, the browser allows us to save the information for future use.

The Password Manager is accessible from the Settings page. We can edit, delete, and manage our saved logins.

Save Logins and Password

If the password is not saved, the Firefox browser will automatically display a pop-ups asking whether to save the new login information. You can continue to choose the password save.

1. Head to any websites where you want to save credentials.
2. Enter your username and password in the associate fields on the website.
   Firefox browser will prompt a dialogue box to save either or ignore the password.
3. Click the Save button to save your login credentials.
   It will immediately store your username and password and the corresponding site address.

Next time you revisit the same website, the username and password information will be auto-filled. You need to hit the Sign In button to access the account.

4. Select the Saved Password from the list to view.

On the next screen, you can view all your login information saved in the Firefox browser. However, you must authenticate with a system password or biometric to protect your identity.

You can manually copy the password to use on the website.

Change a Saved Password

If you’ve changed a site’s password already stored in the browser, Firefox will prompt you to update the existing password. You can either allow or deny the update.

However, you can manually change the saved password if you do not receive any prompt.

If you want to remove your saved passwords, you can remove them from the browser. Here are the steps to remove the saved login credentials:

2. Choose the Login and Passwords option.
   
3. On the next screen, click the Remove button available next to the website, which login information you want to delete.
   
4. Confirm the removal of the saved password.

A similar feature to save passwords is also available in the Firefox app on Android.

Apart from the logins and passwords, the Firefox browser also offers the option to store the payment credit card information for quick autofilling.
