    Firefox Saved Password change?

    Hello everyone,

    I have been reading a lot about this matter.

    There are several addons, such as Password Extension, Password editor. But which to use for my need?

    I let Firefox save my Yahoo email password but now I changed it, and now I have to retype it every time. How can I change the saved password with Firefox?

    If you've changed your Yahoo password and Firefox password manager is still recording the old one, all you need to do is just type in your new password and click the "Change" button at the top right.

    with lastpass there's an option 'never for this page/domain' - it should pop-down when you login

    Simple. Just click the "Never for This Site" button on the top right of toolbar after you log in.

    This will only work if you've never saved the login in Firefox.
    If it's already saved, go to Tools > Options > Security > click on Saved Passwords button and search for the website where you've saved and Remove it.

    Now when you login again, the toolbar that prompts you to save the password will be shown.

    I'd never let Firefox save my password...there are password viewers for it. If I had to 'save my password', I'd rather use a password manager like Lastpass or Keepass...

    But still, the brain is where all my passwords are stored...I find that it has the best encryption
    They call me the mysterious one...
    my motto is...when it's hot, chill baby
