Since the upgrade several days ago, I have not been able to select my saved password on some pages, instead I always see "Use strong password" to create a new one. I have not changed my password or anything, and can still see my account information in the saved passwords setting. How can I recover the way to input my password?

Apparently, if there are input boxes for both a username and a password on the page, my account is automatically set as before. Meanwhile, if there is only a password box, Firefox does not allow me to select my saved password.

Firefox 130.0.1 Build #2016044751 on Android 14

I type in my username and my password but you have installed a block that DEMANDS I sign up for 2-party verification or whatever its called and I cannot sign up for your 2-party verification because 5 years ago I had a different phone number and your 2-party verification is sending a code to my old number. I have been asking for 5 years how I change my phone number so I can get the code and 5 years ago some man suggested I be a 'bit more patient' so how many more years do you expect me to wait for a reply?

I use Firefox both on macOS and iOS. I have tried removing the application entirely from iOS, and yet old passwords are still appearing on iOS which I've deleted on desktop. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this would be an issue. I have disconnected syncs, signed out and back in, completely uninstalled the app.

Firefox for iPhone. I’m having an issue where Amazon’s text input fields cause a password prompt to appear instead of predictive text, Also the page scrolls to the bottom so you can’t see the text field as you type.

Happens in last several versions of Firefox mobile. Happens in safe mode primarily. All stock settings, accept web filters set to strict. Rebooting, nor reinstalling the app, doesn’t fix problem.

Does Firefox Android encrypt passwords at rest?

Firefox Android requires my device password in order to view saved passwords, which suggests that passwords are encrypted at rest. However, it can also autofill passwords in webpages without requiring a device password to be entered. This suggests that passwords are unencrypted, at least while the phone is unlocked? (Unsure if device lock state matters.)

I'm wondering, at an app-data level, when are passwords encrypted vs unencrypted?

(Normally Android apps' data are hidden from other processes in secure containers, but certain privileged processes (e.g. especially on a rooted device) can still access this app data. So, I'm wondering if decrypted password data is ever stored in the app's data folder, or does decryption happen exclusively in-memory, or am I misunderstanding it and there's a secret third explanation?)
