Accessing Mozilla Account Passwords Without Importing Data

Hello. I have a question out of curiosity regarding Mozilla accounts. Suppose I'm at my aunt's house and need to use her PC to retrieve just one password from my Firefox account. Is there a way to access that password without importing all of my account data into her browser?

I’ve tried logging into my account in a private window, but it still imported everything. In the case of Chrome, Google has a Password Manager that lets you access individual passwords without syncing or importing all data to the browser. Does Mozilla have a similar feature? If accessing a single password is possible, why does it seem so difficult? And if it isn't, why is that the case?

Kind regards, Wiktor
