I have a great problem with my passwords on Firefox.
For example I automatically get access to my passport.yandex.ru and that suggests that Firefox-Privacy&Security-Saved Logins includes the login and password for yandex. But when I try to log in using data for passport.yandex.ru from Saved Logins I see the notice that I use wrong password. This means that I can get my mail only through my own computer wherein the access is automatic. How to resolve the issue through finding that password?

Most don't show your password but only your login and unless you reset your password it probably will not give you the password. And since yandex.ru isn't a FF program you need to reset your password to get access to it again.
Hi ieahsan1, if I understand your question:
- You saved the login for the site, and the saved login works
- You viewed the current username and password in the Saved Logins dialog
- That combination does not work in other browsers or on other computers
That does seem impossible, unless the saved login is wrong and what is keeping you logged into the site is a cookie.

You're right and saved login+password, it seems, is having old password. So Westend thinks I have to reset login+password to get access again. But I can lose my mail data because I can lose access to my mail.yandex.ru So, I dunno how to resolve the issue.
The same story is about Firefox log in when I cannot get access to my Inbox under Ieahsan log. The password marked in Saved Logs is wrong too.

You can double-click the username and password fields in the Password Manager to edit either of these fields if you need to correct or update an entry.
Dudes and lads, please, explain me whether Firefox can keep log in without correct password saved. If it possible then assist me to find that correct password

Firefox can keep you logged in to a site if the site set a persistent cookie and the cookie is not cleared. In that case, the Password Manager is not used because you never go to the log in form.
I think you may need to reset your password to a password you know before the cookie expires, but that's just my theory.

Well, is there any option to find out that cookie and pull out that password?

Sites that know anything about security do not store passwords in cookies. Instead, they store a session identifier that links your requests to a live session on the server.
The complication is that I have many data on my mail.yandex.ru but yandex team wanna get my phone, VISA and other data for unclear reasons. This is why I need to try to find my pass before I will reset it.
