Google reports these Mozilla instructions: "To generate a new password

   Click on the password field.
   Right-clickHold down the control key while you click on the password field to open the Context Menu.
   Select Use Generated Password…
   Firefox will generate a password. ...
   Firefox will save the password for this website in Lockwise."

They do NOT work. Both Right-click+Control key while you click on the password field, and Right-click on Password field, to open the Context Menu, does NOT give an option called "Use Generated Password". See attached, duplicate screen shots. Thanks. Mr. Auto-Password.

To clarify, it's referring to the password field on the sign up page of the website itself, not the Firefox Lockwise page.

This is actually incorrect. "The password field" in this context refers to a password field on a specific webpage, not within Lockwise.
