I noticed that Firefox asks to auto-fill only one password/account data per domain.

But there are multiple websites that have different accounts for subdomains as well.

So it would be convenient to have a password save for seperate subdomains.

Allow password saving for pages in Firefox password manager

Currently, putting a website like https://foo.bar/login into Firefox's password manager will be trimmed to https://foo.bar. Occasionally, pages from the same domain or subdomain will have separate password fields. It would be useful to save passwords to subdomain by default, but allow manual creation of a login for a specific page that would take priority over the subdomain.

Ich stimme zu. Die bisherige Paßwortverwaltung ist schon lange nicht mehr zeitgemäß.

I agree. The current password management system is no longer up to date.

In my case i do have several subdomains who have authorisation which have the same login information - and i do want to crate a password for *.mydomain.com (which isn't possible) or at least for mydomain.com  but when i visit toolA.mydomain.com it requests a password even if one for the domain is stored

This is useful, and I can think of one major example / use case where this would be a huge time saver.

Anyone who applies for jobs online often has to go to a site powered by Workday, a third-party applicant tracking system.

They issue a separate subdomain with its own SSO for every company that uses it (i.e. company-a dot myworkdayjobs dot com, company-b dot myworkdayjobs dot com, etc.).

However, the Firefox password manager only keys into the primary 'myworkdayjobs' domain, and tries to autofill the last password you saved from a different session, even when you're trying to sign up for a new company's Workday-powered site.

I realize there's another Idea listed in the community that has the exact opposite suggestion - essentially consolidating subdomain logins - so maybe the solution is the ability to, by default, save different passwords as entries under a domain, and not try to autofill if the subdomain has not been previously saved; or toggle a domain, when first saved, as using a single sign-on for all subdomains.

Just registering to comment on this issue was a good example, I had 10+ saved logins for "auth0.com" show up while trying to log in.

The list of accounts I have on AWS basically renders the feature completely useless and obnoxiously mixes in 2 accounts I use to shop with, to boot.

Enable password save for subdomains

For multi-tenant sites (like ultipro.com), where the tenant is a subdomain like realpage.ultipro.com, it would be great if Firefox could save username/password for each subdomain. It would have to be optional, since sometimes that isn't the correct behavior, but maybe just a checkbox to let me opt in to saving?

You could make it informational, "You have saved passwords for abc.www.com and 3 other www.com sites. Do you want to save a new password for xyz.www.com?"
