Having a senior moment

TechnoMage2016 · 19 Nov 2019

I hate to admit it, but even though I've done it many times before, I can't remember how to do a printout of all my saved web pages (forums) and my login names and passwords. Three columns on one page. (or several pages)

I have several old ones, that I've printed out in years past, but I'd like to have a new (current) one, if only I could remember how.
I don't know if that info is saved in Windows somewhere or in my browser, Firefox.
I know all that info is saved in there somewhere, but I just can't remember where.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Happy Thanksgiving!

It's saved in Firefox under security

I found a lot in there about 'phishing' but not how to access my saved web sites and the login and passwords to get into them.

On my computer, it's at least two pages,in three columns.

Could you be more specific?

You dont say what version your using View and Delete Stored Passwords in Firefox

TechnoMage2016 · 20 Nov 2019

You touched on the problem. I'm indeed using the latest version of Firefox, and they have indeed changed the screen where I can find a saved password.

I can examine just one entry at a time, and I cannot any longer see a list with all pertinent information, that I may print out.

So all I can do is examine one entry at a time, and write down the information contained in that entry.

Thank you for your response to my question. It's greatly appreciated.

Happy Holidays,
TechnoMage

TechnoMage, can you roll back to the last FF that did those pages for you? I still use 28.x because of the extensions I want.

Be advised with the new FF is uses containers.
It is a tedious process to switch from old to new, new to old for passwords and bookmarks
I take it you use Password Exporter or similar in FF old.

Naaaah! I've decided to just forgetaboutit!

I'm getting too old and tired and my time is too short to waste more time worrying about it.
Thanks to everyone who has offered suggestions.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

They don't make it very easy now a days. So here's what you can do. Go to about:logins in the address bar. For each username and password you can hit the copy button and paste into a text document.

The exact file that the passwords and usernames are stored in is the logins.json file which can be opened with a text editor like Notepad ++. But the username and password will be encrypted so that's useless.

Let me have a look at some Firefox add-ons and see if I can find something useful.

Just checked some 9 pages of password add-ons and I don't see anything that would really help in this matter.

Ideally, you should use a password manager and backup that database to multiple forms of media like CDs, thumb drives, etc. I do this with Keepass. But Keepass isn't really easy for novice people to use. But it's a great program and is compatible with several Android or iPhone Apps that use the same database scheme.
