I Sync my stored passwords in firefox from my computer to my firefox android using the sync settings. When I go to a website to login and I don't see my password or login information entering like it does in my computer. I do put my username manually but when I hit the password it only gives me the option to enter it manually. I tried to uncheck master password in my android and still nothing. I tried to remove account and start over and still nothing. Why is there an option to sync password if that doesn't work?

Hello Firesnake

cool handle btw.

Now, I'm sure you've gone through the settings a hundred times by now so i won't ask you to. Carefully go through this help article and verify with the current environment on your devices : Setup Sync on Firefox

Hello, that didn't help at all. I have access to my bookmark, tabs, history already on my android device. But when it comes to passwords, nothing happens. On my pc, Firefox automatically fills the fields (Pass/Username). On my android device the fields are empty. I can only manually type my passw/username. It does give me the option to save it but then what's the point to sync passw from my pc to my android right?

You can check to see if the passwords are actually syncing with the Password Manager add on:

If they are not synced, since Firefox for Android will auto fill them by default you can find out this way.

Otherwise, resetting sync by removing each of the devices and creating a new account has worked for others in this situation.
