Firefox password manager - multiple logins for HTTP authentication

Question

When you're prompted to login to a site using HTTP authentication (the kind with the pop-up box requesting username/password), Firefox's password manager populates it with only the first stored password for that domain.

Is there a way to have Firefox prompt for WHICH account should be used?

It is unlike the normal HTML login forms in which you can just press the down arrow to select from multiple login accounts.

Answer 1

You may do it with last pass password manager Firefox extension.

Answer 2

One way around this behavior is to create bookmarks for the protected URL which incorporates your username and password:

http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@www.example.com/secretfolder

For example, if the username were Bobby and the password were tables:

http://Bobby:tables@www.example.com/secretfolder

Firefox will ask for confirmation before sending the username and password.

Be warned: Using this method means that anyone with access to your bookmarks will be able to log in. Your credentials would be stored in plain text just like any other bookmark.

This is not Firefox-specific: it should work in any web browser.
