I use several websites, e.g. online banking, where I enter a generated code every time I log in. I don't ever want to save this "password", because it's a one-off usage. So I would like to disable the "Do you want to save this password" on particular sites. How can I do that, and if I can't, why not?

hi, in the doorhanger panel there's a drop down where you can set that the credentials should never be stored for the particular page.

Note that you can also enter exceptions manually.

I don't want Firefox to ever save my password for a site. Do I need to specify the sites individually? I use a password manager, Dashlane, that runs rings around anything Firefox can do so this is an unnecessary and complete waste of my time.
