Like Google, Facebook, Apple... Make it possible for websites to make a Login with Firefox option available so we have a trusted privacy preserving option given to us (and give Firefox some visibility)
One feature I would love is better support for "basic authentication". I mean, when you have an .htaccess file on the server and the site asks you for username and password.
I am in the kinda sad situation that I need multiple users on such a site. But Firefox only allows me to store one username/password combination per host. But I concede, it is probably more of an edge case.
Your idea has received a great deal of votes (kudos) and support here in the Mozilla Connect community, so we are upgrading the status to “Trending idea.” This means it’s now one step closer to reaching our internal teams for review—learn more about The Idea Journey.
Please keep the conversation going (the more details, the better) and stay tuned for updates 😃

@crabelI think it's actually quite common scenario, especially for admins, testers or developers. I've found this bug that seems to be related.
I'd like to add on to what others said, in particular I think copying "Sign in with Apple" is the best option PLUS you can blend it with a service you already offer, Firefox Relay. I would pay for that instantly.
From the Sign in with Apple page / some of my own words, hopefully it all makes sense:
- At your first sign in, apps and websites can ask only for your name and email address to set up an account for you.
- You can use Firefox Relay Mozilla's private email relay service to create and share a unique, random email address that forwards to your personal email. This lets you receive useful messages from the app without sharing your personal email address.
- Mozilla would make the same promise not to track/profile users and only retain information needed to make sure you can sign in and manage the account.
- The service is compatible with the OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect standards, and integrates with the Firefox Relay extension.
This idea has been upgraded to "In review" which means it will be brought to our internal teams for review—learn more about The Idea Journey. As soon as we have another update on its status, we’ll let you know right here in the comment section.
