Passwords in the Sidebar available in Release 145

[Isabella]

You can now access your saved passwords right from the sidebar—no more need to open a new tab or window! Just open the sidebar, and your logins are right where you need them, when you need them.

Getting started:

1. Update to Firefox Release (v145 or later).
   
2. Open the Sidebar (via View > Sidebar or the sidebar toggle in your toolbar).
   
3. Click on the Customize Sidebar icon.
4. In the Firefox tools menu, click on the Passwords tool.

I checked out the feature, works pretty neat, thanks!

All I want from this "side bar" is a quick way to turn it off completely. Having a password store in there just makes Firefox more complex and risky to use.

I agree with samyotix, it is a very good idea and looks very convenient, as long it is hidden away until it is needed. I don't think it is necessary to have a password option just sitting there unless you are logging into wherever.

Right Click, customise toolbar and drag the sidebar off.
about:preferences - - uncheck 'Show Sidebar'.

This is a great quality-of-life update! Having passwords accessible directly from the sidebar makes things so much smoother, especially when juggling multiple logins. Just tested it in v145 and it works perfectly. Thanks to the team for continuing to add genuinely useful features, looking forward to seeing what comes next!

Thanks for sharing this information! I’m new here and learning a lot from everyone’s experiences. Does anyone have additional tips or suggestions to improve this http://avtopidol.com

It's 2025.  Please tell me people aren't still storing their password in-browser? With a plethora of high quality password managers available, why is this even being discussed? 

[Anonymous]

Firefox uses AES-256 encryption via Mozilla’s NSS (Network Security Services) to protect passwords.
If you want true protection from anyone with access to your computer, enable a Primary Password. This encrypts the key itself, adding another layer of security.

[JustStopAISucks]

I wasn't complaining about security.  What if I want to use my passwords on another browser?  What about other platforms?  Browsers are meant for BROWSING. Password managers are meant for PASSWORD MANAGING.  I can use my drill to pound a nail in, but I'd much rather use a hammer.  No matter how good Fx is at securing passwords, PW managers will always be better.

Its indeed a nice feature.

Indeed, it is

This is a really convenient update, especially for users who manage multiple logins daily. Quick sidebar access definitely improves workflow and security, something platforms like Rejekibet users will appreciate when switching between tools without breaking focus.
