saved credit card label/description field

[jdpes]

In safari, there is the ability to add a text name or label to a saved credit card. This is useful if you have many cards and can't remember or don't want to memorize which number corresponds to which card.  This would be great to add to firefox

Feature to add nicknames for passwords

There are occasions where you use credit/debit card number and generated random email alias to login certain websites. A feature to set nicknames for saved login/password would be great to identify the login information easily.

Please add this - I need to use both personal and business cards in the same browser. Without a customisable name this feature is hamstrung.

There is a developer discussion at the link below which seems to indicate a fix was at least in the testing phase a year ago, but it still hasn't made it to production:

When you have more than 20 credit cards, managed for three different people, having a "nickname" is crucial so you can make the correct card choice. It is really difficult to try and remember the ending numbers for this many cards when most other payment saves allow a nickname field!!!!

A bug open for seven years:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1443042

Chromium allows saving card nicknames:

Safari allows saving card nicknames:

Edge allows saving a nickname:

Firefox is the only browser that does not.

Every financial institution web site allows nicknaming accounts, payees, etc.

This is a basic usability feature!

Imagine having a phonebook that only displays the first name of the person, and you know 10 Johns.

s'il vous plait, à la rigueur, juste un petit champ en texte libre : les utilisateurs trouveront bien comment en faire bon usage pour retrouver facilement la carte recherchée.  c'est exaspérant de devoir comparer ces numéros enregistrés à ceux de nos différentes cartes ...

please, at the very least, just a small free text field: users will be able to figure out how to make good use of it to easily find the card they are looking for. it's exasperating to have to compare these registered numbers with those of our various cards ...

Just wanted to say that this would be super useful. I have two cards (which are the same card technically, one's a virtual version of the card) and I can't differentiate between the two or any of the other cards that is unless I remember the last 4 digits of every single card I have.

Hey, here's what my utterly useless "choose a card window" looks like:



FIX THIS.

@JonFirefox  
Can you explain the latest update to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1443042

Seems this is going backwards and this will never be fixed. It is such an obvious UX deficiency and should be addressed. Other browsers allow for this functionality.

And Mozilla wonders why Firefox is losing market share

[tmm89]

I moved to Safari due to this issue (and a few others).  I really like(d) FF, but ease-of-use is critical and Safari is doing a much better job at privacy and security these days.

Another, regular, annoyance with the saved CC card function is that it stores the expiry year as 4 digits and when a form requires 2 digits it always prompt to update the expiry date. It doesn't recognise that nothing has changed, it's just a 2 vs 4 digit formatting variance.

However, that's very minor compared to be able to confidently select the right card via a nickname.

I do make small donations to Mozilla as I use both FF & TB and because I can. I also firmly believe in their ethos and always have. But it is small irritating things like such as this, which are probably quite fixable which makes me doubt myself every time I use a credit card, if only for a second and then vanishes.

After using FF for so long, will I stop using FF because of this - of course not, but I have started to use Open in MS Edge extension a lot more for credit card purchases because of this.

there should be a way to add nickname as thats the only way to differentiate various stored ones..
