Whenever you log into a website, the Firefox’s Remember Password prompt will appear on the screen, asking you if you want to remember the website’s username and password. This process saves your time, and you don’t have to remember all the passwords for the numerous websites you visit.
It is a useful feature, but it also has its cons. Without using your passwords regularly, you may forget them with time. In case you forget your password, then don’t worry. You can check the Saved Passwords in the Mozilla Firefox. If you are wondering how to check the passwords, then our guide will help you out.
