The Firefox password management feature shows alerts about logins that were potentially exposed in data breaches. If it’s likely that one of your saved logins was exposed in a known data breach, you’ll see this alert with its associated login.
How Firefox notifies about website breachesFirefox checks the date of a known website breach against the date you saved a password for that website. If the website was breached after you saved your password, you’ll see this alert.
Firefox will also check to see if you’ve reused any of these potentially vulnerable passwords with other logins you’ve saved to Firefox. The browser does this by creating an encrypted list of your breached passwords, then checking it against all saved passwords. Firefox does not keep logs of your plaintext passwords or know them.
Note: Firefox never sends your logins or passwords to third-party services or servers. It keeps all data regarding logins and breaches anonymous.
Turn off website breach alertsDisabling the feature also prevents Firefox from checking to see if you’ve reused these potentially vulnerable passwords on any of your other saved logins.
To see if your email address was part of a breach, sign up for
Mozilla Monitor.
