Trying to find my password.

I have a Yahoo email account and Firefox has the saved password for it. I've changed the password for my Yahoo email account recently. When Firefox prompted me if I want to update the saved password I must have chosen "NO", I don't remember. I stayed logged in the Yahoo email account for a few days after I've changed the password. I've logged out of the Yahoo account. Now I can't log back in because I don't remember the new password I've created.

I'm wondering if Firefox has the new Yahoo email account password saved somewhere in its cache.

OS: Windows 10. Firefox: 127.0.2 (64-bit).

vopil15234, all passwords are stored in the passwords manager. There is no other location that stores them.

If the Yahoo entry within it still shows the old password then that is all Firefox has.

You can access the passwords manager by clicking the Firefox menu button near the extensions button, and then selecting "Passwords".

Firefox also keeps a backup passwords file on your harddrive, which can contain older passwords that you have subsequently deleted or changed, but it doesn't seem that this will help you here.
