Firefox Does Not Accept Correct Password
Today i was changing my password and 2FA application. I went to my Firefox Account settings and removed my 2FA and Recovery Key. I added my 2FA back again but when i tried to create a new Recovery Key, it didn't work. In the first step of creating a Recovery Key, it asks for a password. I have tried my account password multiple times but it did not accept it. Then i reset my account password and tried again but once again it did not work.

Hi @Strajeti First, clear the cache here: https://accounts.firefox.com
- Click on the lock icon in the url bar
- Then click on the ">" icon that pops up then on More Information
- A window will open up and there is a tab named "Security"
- Click on "View Cookies" then clear out all of them.
- next, try to login again. If this does not work:
let me know and give me a bit more detail
Hi Strajeti
Clear caches to see if that fixes the problem
- Click the menu button and select Options.
- Select the Privacy & Security panel.
- In the Cookies and Site Data section, click Clear Data.
- Remove the check mark in front of Cookies and Site Data.
- For more information about managing site data, see Manage local site storage settings.
- With Cached Web Content check marked, click the Clear button.
- Close the about:preferences page. Any changes you've made will automatically be saved.
- next, try to login again.
If this does not work can you tell bit more detail and what you have done so far.
