To view your saved passwords in Firefox, follow these simple steps:
- Open Firefox.
- Click the hamburger menu: This is located at the top right corner of the Firefox window. It's represented by three horizontal lines.
- Select "Passwords." A new tab or window will open, displaying your saved logins.
Inside the "Passwords" section, you'll see a list of websites and their corresponding usernames. The passwords themselves are usually hidden for security. To reveal a specific password:
- Find the website you want to view the password for.
- Click the eye icon (usually located to the right of the hidden password).
- You may be prompted to enter your computer's login password for verification. This is a security measure to prevent unauthorized access.
Once you've entered your login credentials (if prompted), the password for the selected website will be displayed.
Important Security Notes:
- Be mindful of who is around when you reveal a password.
- Avoid storing extremely sensitive passwords (e.g., banking passwords) in your browser if you have security concerns. Consider using a dedicated password manager instead.
- Keep your Firefox browser updated to the latest version to ensure you have the latest security features and protections.
