My school website required users to change login passwords to conform to stricter security standards. Login credentials used to autofill, but now they don't.

I've been dealing with this issue for awhile now, but I think what I did was to remove the login credential information from Mozilla. It never asked me to store the new password and I can't figure out how to get it to autofill again.

The site is not in the exceptions list and when I view site information, under the Security tab, where it lists "Have I saved any passwords for this website?" the answer is "No."

hello, websites can define that the browser shouldn't save passwords in their source-code (though a autocomplete=off parameter in the the form), see Usernames and passwords are not saved

you could use an addon like the following to circumvent such restrictions: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/remember-passwords
