I am using Firefox 58, and have a lot of passwords saved in its password manager. BUT there are websites the passwords no longer work with and I have to enter them manually, even they are there in the listed in the password manager!. Sometimes I have to check the list to get the password to use, so I can enter it manually into the website. Sure hope this makes sense to you;) almost thinking about going back to roboform. need help:) Allen

Please provide public link(s) (no password) for those websites that we can check out. No Personal Information Please !


Warning: There are some web pages that do not allow browsers to record or fill in the log-in information. But if you go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) you can find several add-ons that can override this, and give you better control of your password information. You can also try a Form Filling add-on.
