Exciting news! We're testing passwords in the sidebar in Nightly 138—a new way to access and manage your saved passwords without interrupting your flow. No need to open a new tab or window to look up a password—just open the sidebar, and your logins are right where you need them, when you need them.
1️⃣ Update to the latest Firefox Nightly (138).
2️⃣ Go to Settings > Firefox Labs and follow the instructions to enable Passwords in the Sidebar.
The following video demonstrates how to enable the feature:
We’d love to hear what you think! Your feedback will help shape the future of this feature.
(Please note: the feature is currently available in English only in Nightly, with gradual rollout to additional locales planned.)

Can the performance be improved and / or the view be cached? I have 822 saved passwords. And it takes about three seconds until the entries becomes visible. This is on a MacBook Pro with M1 Pro, that's not the slowest device. It also takes so long every time I switch between the sidebars. I would expect that there is no delay at all after the passwords were loaded once. The about:logins page is much faster.
Also, the font sizes of the labels ("Website", "Username", "Password") are very small on macOS, making it difficult to read.
