Firefox securely stores your usernames and passwords for accessing websites, automatically fills them in for you the next time you visit a website, and lets you manage your stored logins with its built-in password management feature. This article will show you how to remember, view, edit, manage, remove and protect your logins in Firefox and also how to disable this feature.

  • To get your passwords everywhere you use Firefox, turn on Sync.
  • If you use the Firefox Lockwise app on your Android or iOS mobile device: Mozilla's support for this app ended on December 13, 2021. See End of support for Firefox Lockwise for details.

Note: On macOS and Windows, OS authentication may be required when accessing stored passwords using edit_fx71aboutconfig Edit, Copy or IG eye (the reveal button, represented by an eye icon). This is not your Mozilla account credentials. See Secure Firefox passwords with device sign-in for more information.

Make Firefox remember usernames and passwords

When you enter a username and password that you haven't already saved for a website, Firefox will ask if you want to save it.

FF70 Password

Tip: Clicking outside of the Save prompt will hide it. To bring it back, just click the key icon on the left side of the address bar. If Firefox does not prompt you to save passwords, see Usernames and passwords are not saved.

In the prompt:

  • To have Firefox remember your username and password, click on Save. The next time you visit the website, Firefox will automatically enter your username and password for you.
    • If you've stored the wrong username or password, just type the right one into the website and Firefox will prompt you to save it. To save the new username and password, click on Update.
  • To tell Firefox to never remember usernames and passwords for the current website, click the drop-down menu and select Never Save. In the future, when you log in to the website, you won't be prompted to save the username and password.
    • If you later change your mind and would like Firefox to ask you to save usernames and passwords for this site, you'll need to go into your Firefox Settings and remove the site's entry from the Privacy & Security panel Exceptions list.
  • To skip saving your username and password this time, click Don't Save. You'll be prompted to save your username and password the next time you visit the site.
Note: Some websites offer to keep you logged in by clicking a checkbox on the site. This is a feature of the website and will work whether or not you have saved your username and password in Firefox.

You can also manually add website logins. Click the menu Fx89menuButton button, select Passwords, click Create New Login at the bottom the + next to the Search Logins Search Passwords box at the top left, add a website address, username and password, and click Save.

Managing multiple accounts for a site

If you have more than one account for a site, Firefox can save all your logins. Each time you log in to a site, you can choose the login information you would like Firefox to use.

Add another login account: To save an additional login for a site, enter the login credentials and click Save when prompted. Use the drop-down arrow to see a list of saved usernames for that site. You can also start typing to narrow the results.

If more than one login is stored for a website, the list of usernames will appear when you click the login field. Select the username you want to log in with.

Importing login and password data

You can also import login data from a .csv (comma separated values) file. See Import login and password data from a file for more information.

Protecting your passwords

If you use the same simple password for everything, you will be more susceptible to identity theft. The Create secure passwords to keep your identity safe article shows you an easy method for creating secure passwords and managing your passwords, as described above, to help you remember them all.

Even though Firefox stores your usernames and passwords on your computer in an encrypted format, someone with access to your computer user profile can still see or use them. The Use a Primary Password to protect stored logins and passwords article shows you how to prevent this and keep you protected in the event your computer is lost or stolen.
