Hello, how can I save my logins, but not password, while the option of "Never to save history" is activated?

more options

I do not want to save any history or cookies, and have my logins only, not passwords, saved. When I enter a social network there is no login remembered, how can I use the option of "Never save history" and keep saving logins, without saving passwords? Thanks

Greetings zak1 Try this: 1) Open the settings 2) In the "Privacy" tab, select "FF will use your setting conservation history" 3) You will see additional options 4) Check the box "Remember the story of these forms" 5) Turn off the "Remember my password on sites" It should work as you want

I hope this answer helped you

Note that you enter permanent Private Browsing mode (Always use Private Browsing mode) if you select "Never Remember History". You can't store new passwords and form data when you are in Private Browsing mode and you can't use the feature of websites remembering you as that is stored in a cookie (cookies expire automatically when you close the Private Browsing mode session).

You would have to visit websites where you want to keep data in regular mode.

You can use an extension to get Private Browsing mode support per tab.

There might be some form-filling add-ons that can autofill just the fields you want using data stored in a location managed by the add-on itself rather than in Firefox's form history.
