Firefox users encounter an issue with password saving while using the web browser. This free web browsing platform offers services to browse and gather information through the internet, providing data to users. When you're navigating websites, creating accounts, and need to log in again, you'd expect Firefox to have saved your password data. If you find yourself in a similar situation, read on, as we'll address the issue of Firefox not saving passwords.

Error: Firefox won't remember passwords

A password is the gateway to your digital accounts, without which you can't even access them. Hence, keeping it safe is crucial to access your digital accounts and fetch the required information. On the other hand, Firefox or Mozilla Firefox is a web browser that provides a free platform to browse the internet and gather desired data. When an error bothers you, you need to resolve it. To troubleshoot the issue, you need to figure out the reason behind it.

If Firefox doesn't save your password and you forget it and try to guess it, you might end up locking your account, which requires a reset through a link or the “Forgot Password” option – a somewhat complicated process. Also, if you don't have a recovery email on your account, you won't be able to retrieve a lost password, wasting your time and ultimately rendering the account recovery process futile.

However, before you can troubleshoot the problem, you need to understand why Firefox isn't saving passwords in the first place.

Fact: Mozilla is a non-profit, and Firefox is developed by Mozilla. You can be confident that they won't sell your data to third parties. So, you can use Firefox without any hesitation.

Why doesn't Firefox remember my password?

Mozilla Firefox or simply Firefox is a web browser developed by the non-profit organization Mozilla Foundation, renowned for its speed. It enables you to browse through the floating information on the internet and use it for your purpose. Hence, when the web browser fails to remember passwords, you must figure out the reasons.

Here are some reasons why Firefox might not be saving your passwords:

• If you forgot to save the password: During account creation, you set up a Login ID and password. After completing this process, you must click the "Save Password" option. If you missed this step, Firefox won't remember your password.
• Website blocks saving passwords: Some sites don't allow password saving as part of their privacy policy, especially after auto-filling forms. In such cases, you'll have to recall login credentials each time you log in, and Firefox can't assist you here.
• If you forgot to change Firefox's password-saving settings: If you disabled the save-password option and forgot to change it back, Firefox won't retain the credentials you're looking for.
• If you forgot to manually add a site: Firefox has an option to add websites. If you didn't add frequently visited sites, Firefox won't be able to track your passwords.

If you choose to clear data to free up space, all of your data will be removed, including passwords. In some cases, Firefox will forget passwords added after the reset.

These are some reasons why Firefox might not be saving passwords. Fix these issues soon to avoid getting locked out of your accounts or unable to access websites or sign in.
