From: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/gff2wj/windows_security_mozilla_firefox/

I never used to get password prompt to edit passwords.

I cant edit,copy or view password without some sort of password.

I dont have and never had a password for Windows.I never made one and windows just starts to desktop by itself.

If I leave field blank and press OK it says (The Username or password is incorrect)

This sounds like similar behavior to https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=347825#c119. We have applied a similar fix in Firefox with https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/1332a388f2276343fd3d4b892d478ed74d03364f which will ship with Firefox 77.

I accidentally filed this issue also and put patches on the newer bug. I'll close this as a duplicate and move over the flags.
