I tried to log on on a site. I put the pswd, Firefox offers to me to 'save password', log fails, I clicked 'show password' to verify, but a larger and strange chain of charactears appears.... what is happening? 

I ' ve scanned for viruses already. I have forticlient for a VPN too.

Some ideas?

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Hola, Conozco 2 casos similar con módems de internet: luego de escribir la contraseña el módem, en tu caso la pagina web, enmascara la contraseña con "caracteres" por lo tanto el Firefox piensa que se escribió una nueva contraseña y la ofrece salvar. Por lo tanto, en estos casos, yo sugiero copiar la contraseña y luego verificar que se haya salvado la correcta. Saludos
