Firefox Logins and Passwords treats two of my similar looking emails as same login credentials.

I have two email IDs -

@abc.com and @xyz.abc.com

I need Firefox to treat them as different login credentials. Right now, Firefox is looking at abc.com part of the email ID only and thus treating them both as same. So, every time I change password of one, it asks me to update the other email's saved password.

Hi ninad116,

I understand you're having issues with your saved Logins & Passwords being treated as the same credentials.

Did you check the Exceptions log to make sure that the email site is not listed?

To check :

  1. Click the menu icon in your browser
  2. Click Options
  3. Click Privacy & Security on the left panel
  4. Under Logins and Passwords click on Exceptions...
  5. If the site is listed click Remove Website and then Save Changes

Are you using Firefox Lockwise ?

There are other password extensions you could try : Password Managers
