I did something to cause Firefox to no longer remember my password for a URL. How to convice Firebox to remember it again?

I had firefox remember my password for a website I subscribe to. I changed the password recently and firefox won't remember the changed password.

  • Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
  • Highlight an entry in the drop down list
  • Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

If the name doesn't change and you only need to change (update) the stored password then fill the name in the login form and let Firefox fill the wrong password.
You may have to press the Tab key to fill the password field with the old password.
If you replace the wrong password with the new password then Firefox should offer to store the new password via the pop-up dialog from the key icon on the location bar (Firefox 3 versions show a bar at the top).

Use the Remember Password bookmarklet on websites that use "autocomplete=off" to prevent Firefox from saving passwords.

Verify that Firefox has stored the new password.

  • Firefox > Preferences > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"

If that didn't work then remove that name and password in the Password Manager.
