Any 3rd-party service, even an add-on or extension to which you've given permission to work in Private mode, will.
The whole point of "Private Browsing" is to *not* store any trace of your browsing session **locally on your computer**; including cookies, entered passwords, history, etc. It changes nothing about how you are presented to the sites you visit during your browsing session - It doesn't even prevent cookies from being placed and used (including being stored by a site) during your current browsing session, unfortunately. It just leaves no trace locally when you're done.
Tracking Protection, as I understand it, is not a protection at all but rather a signal to a site that you wish not to be tracked. It is left up to the site whether or not they comply.
You can set a Master Password in Firefox to encrypt your locally-stored data (else it is all stored in plain text!), and Chrome allows you to use your Google login passphrase or one set specifically, for encryption of your data. Both will store your data in their cloud if you choose and sync that data to every other installation you have set up under that account.
My Firefox login / password both work in Private Window, as long as I'm using existing, established stored logins and passwords.
What it won;t create is any new logins or new passwords, while in Private Windows. Perhaps I should have mentioned that hiccup in my earlier post.
So does programs like LastPass create "NEW" logins and passwords, while in Private Windows?
