How do I prevent my online banking password from automatically filling in?

When I sign onto my online banking account, my password fills in automatically when I enter my username. I tried removing cookies, but it didn't make a difference. How can I block the password from filling in on this one site? (Again - the "how to remove cookies from one site" page on the Firefox website did not help).

Thank you.

And its not a saved password? (under tools/security/saved passwords)? If it is you can delete that line.

Open the password manager. Remove the entries for that site. The next time the manager asks if you want to save the pasword, Just Say No.

Type about:preferences#security<enter> in the address bar.

Under Passwords, select Remember. To check the passwords you have listed, press Saved Passwords.
