How to Save Passwords in Firefox

Author Info

Last Updated: October 2, 2020

If you consistently sign into websites and hate to have to enter the password each time you sign into the website, try having Firefox save your password. This article should provide you these details.

Steps

Recognize which websites you have already saved the password for, and if you have Firefox watching to automatically save your passwords for you without it bothering you. Open the "Options" button from the hamburger menu in the top right corner of the Firefox browser, click the "Security" tab from the left corner and "Make sure Save Passwords in Firefox" is checked; double check what sites are automatically being saved from the "Saved Logins" button from this page.
Log out if you are logged in. This process will depend on the page that you are signed into and no one website will have the same process of another.
Type in your username and password and click the "Complete the sign-in"-like button to continue.
It says "Would you like Firefox to remember this login" and displays your username and protected password.
Type in the first digit or letter of your username, click the username entry and tab over to the password and see if it auto-fills your password. Both should then be prefilled, leaving you to click the "Complete the sign-in"-like button.

If you should have to change your password and need to update the password entry, no worries. Fill in the complete username and tab over to the password to manually enter the new one. Type in your password and complete the sign-in. Firefox will ask you whether or not you want to update the listing.
