How to set FF to only complete password once I entered the login?

I would like FF to only fill in the password after I manually filled in (or authorized fill-in) of the username. In other words - don't auto-fill the password until I chose to.

The idea is to avoid the new popular usage of hidden forms to mine the stored auto-fill data.

You can set this pref to false on the about:config page.

  • signon.autofillForms = false

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

Everywhere. Here's an example: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/users/auth

I want the password to be auto completed only after I fill in the username, or after I approve autofill somehow.

Thanks, it didn't work from the settings page but worked from the about:config page :)
