I have multiple gmail accounts and I want firefox to remember the password only for some of them. How do I do that?

Whenever I login with an account that firefox is not set to remember it asks me every time, and if I want to choose not to remember it, I should choose "Never remember passwords for this site", but I don't want that since I have some accounts that I want their password saved.

hello, you can just click on "Never remember passwords for this site" - this won't affect your currently stored passwords for gmail but won't show the doorhanger panel for new passwords...

Hi stukov


To skip saving your username and password this time, click the drop-down menu and select "Not Now". You'll be prompted to save your username and password the next time you visit the site.

That is my problem. Let me give you an example. 3 google accounts:

  1. account_one
  2. account_two
  3. account_three

Currently, I have saved the credentials for account_one and account_two; and I do not want to save anything for account_three, nor I want any reminder each time I log in with account_three whether I want to save my password for it or not. If I press "Not now", the next time that I' ll try to login, the same reminder will pop up and I dont want that.

Is there any way to do it?
