Offering passwords should start with active subdomain

[aev]

Right now, the password manager offers passwords and credentials for all subdomains given the active domain, sorting credentials by name, alphabetically. That means I have to put in mental labor to match the active subdomain to the list of passwords and credentials, which luckily (thank you!) do mention for which subdomain they're stored.

Every time I go to log into my AWS accounts, the password manager shows an onslaught of matches for the domain amazon.com, which is almost never what I need. AWS has many a subdomain and the passwords all are tied to the specific subdomain.

Please make it so that the password manager starts by offering passwords and credentials from the active (most specific) subdomain, ending with the least specific and thus least likely match (domain). Sorting can happen on subdomain if they are of equal specificity, and by credential within a subdomain (suppose you're a developer and have multiple accounts to test an application, or a social media manager maintaining multiple accounts for multiple customers).

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

@aev there's a similar idea here on Connect: Passwords save for subdomains 

If this aligns with what you're asking, we can merge the two threads and combine the votes - which will also help keep the conversation focused in one space. Just let me know 😃

No, that is a different use case. That is not the problem I'm experiencing.

In my case, it's not so much that Firefox allows only 1 password per subdomain, it's more that it shows all passwords for all subdomains instead of limiting itself to the password of the one I'm visiting.

This is particularly problematic on very large web sites like Amazon.com, which also has a subdomain for AWS, for Seller Central, for Vendor Central, and probably several others. Firefox will show me the passwords for all of those, which is not useful in the slightest.

It might do that as a secondary option. But the primary option should be as specific as possible.
