I read through all the posts I could find, and no help. For instance, on my Samsung Galaxy S10+, when I go to "Passwords and autofill" under Samsung Settings, the only option for autofill is Samsung Pass (ick). This when I am signed in to Firefox, it shows as synced with my laptop, all boxes checked including Passwords. I Never get password autofill on phone and want to fix that. Everything else seems to sync. Laptop running Ubuntu latest version. In my Android Firefox menu, Passwords is not listed. "Desktop site" has a toggle - should that be on to sync? Or what changes with that on or off? Please help me get Password memory and autofill on Android.

Hi

What version number of Firefox for Android is currently installed on your Android device?

If you open the Firefox for Android menu and select Settings followed by Logins and Passwords, you should see the option to "Autofill in other apps".

I hope that this helps.

Thanks, Paul. That was definitely helpful and news to me, and it worked. A little bumpy on the auto-fill, but my saved passwords are sync'd and available. Thanks again!
