Password Management

Every time you enter a username and a password on a Web site, Firefox offers to store this data. If you accept by clicking Remember, the password will be stored on your hard disk in an encrypted format. Next time you access this site, Firefox will automatically fill in the login data.

To review or manage your passwords, open the Password Manager by clicking Edit+Preferences+Security+Show Passwords.... The Password Manager opens with a list of sites and their corresponding usernames. By default, the passwords are not displayed—click on Show Passwords to display them. Delete single or all entries from the list using Remove or Remove All, respectively.

If you are also using the GNOME Keyring or the KDE Wallet to store other passwords, SUSE Linux Enterprise lets you manage these together with the Firefox password manager via CASA (Common Authentication Service Adapter). Learn how to use and configure CASA in the GNOME User Guide or the KDE User Guide.
