When I tried to sign in to Firefox to view passwords using the CORRECT username and password it failed. I was able to access the passwords by signing in using my PIN.

My question is: why did Firefox reject my correct username and password?

Type in the search bar and look for the preference :

Change its value to   false.

McCoy: Thanks very much for you prompt reply. Your solution did the trick! And it's a good thing because I was lost in all the Help articles and about ready to reinstall FF which of course, would not have fixed the problem. Really, really, appreciate the clear, concise solution you offered!
