How to generate a secure password in Waterfox

When creating a new account on a website, it can be difficult to think of a unique and secure password. When signing up for a new account on a website, Waterfox can generate a secure password for you.

To generate a new password

Waterfox can automatically generate random, secure passwords for you when you’re creating an account:

1. Click the password field on a website. The secure password option will automatically display.
2. Click Use a Securely Generated Password to fill in the field. Waterfox will also save your new login for that site.
   • If the generated password does not meet the website requirements, clicking on the password field will reveal (unmask) the password so you can edit it to meet the requirements.

To view and edit your passwords, see Manage your logins with the Waterfox Password Manager.
