While I haven't used that plugin, that *kind* of thing is a godsend.
When you set a password, you really want to be sure what you're setting.
It took me ages, once, to crack a typing error. There were so many
combinations that could have gone wrong. The type it in twice things
are no guarantee that you won't make to identical errors without
noticing.
Likewise, they're a sanity-saver when you're typing in one of those
passwords with stupid composition rules (must have one or more capitals,
alien symbols, and Egyptian hieroglyphics etc.).
Geez, if you're going to make strong password rules, be more thoughtful
about it. Must be at least so long, but if you type in a long phrase,
we'll let you type in normally (see what you type, and not have to type
in bloody leet-speak).
Though I've once set a pass phrase to what my opinion of a website was,
because of their damned rules, then had to read it back to their support
staff over the phone, later on.

what Joe Zeff recommends is what moz devs picked up from an add-on that i
installed many releases back. because i am used to it, with a simple
_single_ click of icon on toolbar, preferred to the 5 click needed to use
what is now built in. plus, it is re-sizable.
Saved Password Editor 2.9.6
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/saved-password-editor/
in addition, because firefox does not have, i added;
Password Exporter 1.3.1.1
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/
which will export and import passwords, along with several other goodies.
because some sites i regularly log require cookies, i also have;
Cookies Export/import 1.0.1
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookies-exportimport/
there are other password and cookie handlers, but i find these quick and
easy to keep systems synced. if know that systems have different additions,
then a simple;
cat file1 >> file2
sort -u file2 > file3
just my way of doing things.
