Tried the solutions posted included starting Firefox in "Safe Mode" and it will not save either the login or password. Chrome 84.0.4147.105 has no problem saving both. Comments/suggestions?

If Firefox doesn't offer to save the login (username and password) then you can create a new login yourself manually in Lockwise.

Cor-el's suggestion seemed to be the answer I needed. However, the key symbol doesn't appear in the address bar for me to force a login/password save. (:o(

This login form seems to be normal as far as I can tell (I see Fill Login and Fill Password in the context menu), but I haven't tried to fill the login form and check if Firefox offers to save the password.

Do you have this problem on more websites ?

Note that if you are in permanent Private Browsing mode (Always use Private Browsing mode; Never Remember History) then Firefox may not offer to store a new login.
