Hi I'm on Ios I forgot a password so went to keychain access where I can normally find saved passwords. It wasn't there. I then went to Firefox preferences and found it there, for copying. There was no password required. That means if I leave my computer on and someone comes past, they can look at saved passwords, and that is a real security issue. I may stop using firefox because of this. Is there a setting to make it more secure? Cheers Martin

Firefox has no connections with keychain access. As to whom has access to your computer that isn't Firefox to resolve but the owner of the computer on how they secure their own logins.

Are you on ios or MacOS? There's a separate forum for the former. Assuming it's the latter, this article may help.
