How to See Saved Passwords on Firefox

However, there are times that you may want to check your passwords and other user credentials on Firefox. For example, if you believe that your passwords have been compromised, it's a good idea to change them to protect your privacy. Your user credentials can be compromised in a variety of ways. Maybe you shared your computer/mobile device with someone, maybe you used public a Wi-Fi network, or perhaps you logged into your account in a public place your workplace and forgot to log out. Whatever the reason it would be wise to change your password.

You can also find and change your saved login data in Firefox whenever you want. Here's how:
