Is there no way, any longer, to delete all saved passwords?

I searched for this answer in multiple ways. A reply from late 2018 indicated that there was a "delete all" at one time. But reading the current mozilla.org entry on managing passwords (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/password-manager-remember-delete-edit-logins), there is no mention of deleting multiple logins/passwords, only how to delete them one at a time. I tried clearing all my Firefox data, figuring that should do it, but it did not; the logins and passwords are still there. I turned off the "save passwords" option long ago, but there are still over 50 old passwords there. Do I have to really go in and delete them one by one?

The Firefox Lockwise Password Manager doesn't have a feature to delete multiple or all the passwords like was possible with the legacy Password Manager.

You can rename/remove logins.json in the profile folder if you really want to remove all the passwords.

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
