Firefox – How to ask Firefox to suggest a password when filling out registration form on the web

firefoxpassword-generationpassword-managementpasswords

I am familiar with Safari on my Mac. Safari usually can recognize a registration form prompting for a new password. In such case, Safari automatically offers to generate a new random password.

Does Firefox 71 offer such a feature? I have somehow managed to save passwords in Firefox. But Firefox never offers to generate a password.

Firefox never offers to generate a password

You need to right click in a password field (Firefox 70+):

Firefox 70 includes a new ‘securely generated password’ option that works in HTML password fields.

To use it, users simply right click in an empty password box on a sign-up page or register form, then select the Fill Password > Use a Securely Generated Password option.
