To get started, simply install the version above. After restart you will have a new context menu entry "Retrieve a Password" in all edit boxes:
QuickPasswords Context Menu
This will be displayed as soon as you right-click in any textbox.

Clicking the button will open the built-in (Firefox / Thunderbird / SeaMonkey) Password Manager window. QuickPasswords will also try to fill the password filter dialog with a suitable text so that only relevant entries should be displayed.

The Password Manager

When invoking it from a web page, then the easiest way to use QuickPasswords is to double-click on the highlighted item - this will attempt to log you in by matching the stored information from Firefox's built in login manager. Should this fail to find a suitable form field then appropriate context menu items will be created

Any password can also be copied by pressing the [Copy Password!] button. Obviously this will only be useful if you have already stored passwords in the password manager. You can check that the option Tools / Options / Security > Remember Passwords for Sites is enabled.

I don't know how to store passwords! (skip this, I already know!)


How do I make Firefox remember my usernames and passwords?

QuickPasswords will only be able to find passwords that are previously stored, which can be easily done with the built in functionality - if you are not sure, please have a look at the following article first:
Firefox Support: How do I make Firefox remember my usernames and passwords?

There also is more detailed info on various related settings here: Options window - Security panel.

But Firefox doesn't prompt me for storing passwords!

First check that the option Tools / Options / Security > Remember Passwords for Sites is enabled.

Not prompting for password storage can also be caused by a site that has a non-standard way of asking for passwords. For instance the site might use Flash or some clever Javascript preventing you from using the built in Password Manager. In that case, I highly recommend using the Saved Password Editor extension, which gives you full control on creating passwords and all aspects of how they are inserted into a page. It is an ideal companion to QuickPasswords.
