Firefox Lockwise: Secure Password Manager

Firefox Lockwise is a password manager built into the Firefox web browser. It securely stores website usernames and passwords and syncs them across devices. Lockwise helps users create strong, unique passwords and auto-fills login credentials on websites.

What is Firefox Lockwise?

Firefox Lockwise is a free, built-in password manager included in Mozilla's Firefox web browser. It provides a way for users to securely store website credentials, including usernames and passwords, and syncs that sensitive information across multiple devices.

Lockwise encourages and helps users create unique, strong passwords for each website. It can generate secure passwords or analyze existing ones. When logging into sites, Lockwise can auto-fill the username and password fields which helps avoid insecure practices like password reuse.

Passwords stored in Lockwise are encrypted so that only the user can access them. A master password protects the Lockwise vault and decrypts credentials for auto-fill. Users can choose to sync passwords between devices for convenience by linking a Firefox account. This allows seamless access to saved logins when switching between desktop and mobile.

As a built-in feature of an established browser, Firefox Lockwise focuses specifically on password security unlike more robust standalone managers. It lacks advanced features but provides essential password protection for Firefox users at no extra cost. Its convenience and security make Lockwise a good basic option for individuals looking to improve their online privacy.
