When I back up the information on my computer I want to insure I'm also backing up the login information, i.e. usernames and passwords. I think that, at least some, of that information is in ff but not necessarily all of it. Is the automatic login all in ff or is it in Windows 10 somewhere?
Thanks a lot.
Mike

Re: Auto-fill logins
If you are asking about logging into web sites, the information will be in Firefox if that is the browser you use for the particular site.
If you are talking about logging into the Windows user account, that's stored by Windows.
