Whenever a new password is entered, the computer asked automatically " remember site" and if you don't quickly check "not now", it then automatically recall the user name and password to log in. I did not get to "not now" on time so that anybody who goes to the bank website can go to my account.

Note that a detail like a website remembering you (log you in automatically) is stored in a cookie.

You can use these steps to make a website recognize and remember you:

  • You can create a cookie "Allow" exception to keep specific cookies, especially in case of secure websites and when cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
  • Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: Exceptions

Remove the cookies from a website to make the website forget about you.

hi tracy12, firefox doesn't save passwords automatically unless you explicitly tell it to do so on a individual basis - if you just ignore that doorhanger panel and click nothing, the password you enter on a site will not be stored! if you want to remove a password that is already stored, you can do so in the password manager: Password Manager - Remember, delete and edit logins and passwords in Firefox
