Can someone tell me step by step how to turn off the command in Firefox that saves and displays my user name and password ( as dots ) whenever I open up a favorite website ? The user name and password are supposed to be secure. Any one can now go to the website, just click continue and get into my secure account.

How do I get into your community of users to read your answer ?

Can you send the answer to my E-mail ? 

 THANKS

What you are talking about is the Password Manager. This will automatically fill in known usernames & passwords.

Only someone with access to your computer user account can see them.
