Firefox Lockwise – Encrypted Password Manager

It's finally official and built into the latest Firefox 70!

With separate mobile apps for easy access everywhere.

Some questions and answers I had as a Bitwarden user:

- It is not possible to import passwords from other password managers, but there are hacks [4]

- It's not yet possible to export passwords.

- For those wondering about 2-FA support, it's in the account optional settings[0]. (only support Authenticator apps so far)

- Disconnecting Firefox Lockwise from Firefox account doesn't mean that you can use Lockwise without it [1].

- Lockwise support master-masswords, just like other password managers, you can set it in the browser settings [2]

- Lockwise don't support secure notes or attachments yet.

I recently switched away from FF's built-in password manager after it stopped syncing my passwords for some reason. (I read this sometimes happens with master passwords set?)

Now I'm using the KeePass database format (with KeePassXC, KeePassXC-Browser and KeePass DX as my clients) and it's honestly much better. More ways to organize my passwords, more features overall and I can just store my passwords in an encrypted file and sync it via my regular file syncing system.

It's a little too tightly coupled to my Firefox account, which I don't like. I use separate profiles for home and work, and usually share the same set of passwords. LastPass or Bitwarden are independent from my browser account, and travel with me if I decide to switch accounts or even browsers.

Is it possible to share password entries with others, like it is in 1Password for example? This is a crucial use case for me, but I understand it’s not universal.

Ok...?

Doesn't seem to support importing accounts yet. Once an option like this is added, I may switch from gopass[0], which is a pain to use on my phone, that I now just SSH into my server.

I would be even happier if Firefox integrated Android password manager integration better.

I can barely use mine. So many bugs and quirks not present literally anywhere else.

I really tried using this switching from Bitwarden. Unfortunately, mass import from another password manager wasn't possible and the feature set seemed limited.

How does this compare to other password managers such as LastPass? Does this offer any improvments?
