#3A chrome extension would be great!
We hear ya and we're thinking about it. But, it would be a while before we started to build one. An Android app is up next up on our list...
Re: Firefox Lockbox
#4This is seriously great! If the eventual Android app uses the Autofill API then it would be a good replacement for LastPass or Bitwarden.
Re: Firefox Lockbox
#5So can someone expand on this a little? What are the differences between this and something like LastPass (other than this isn't an add-on). Does it provide app autofill? Does it prevent the same plain text decoding that browser password managers typically have? Is this useful? I'm legit asking because I don't know and would appreciate a security person chiming in.
Re: Firefox Lockbox
#6Love it. I don't love using LastPass, but I don't want to deal with the rough edges of KeePass either. Looking forward to the Android app. +1 for autofill API.
Re: Firefox Lockbox
#7If this is any good I'll be considering it as a replacemnt for Keepass.
A bit off topic, but while looking at this I noticed another expirement - Firefox Side View. It looks like it lets you have two open tabs side-by-side in one browser window. This is exactly why I used the Tile Tabs[0] extension and had to switch to Tile Tabs WE[1] with the Quantum update. I'm happy to see this coming back without the WE workarounds.

Re: Firefox Lockbox
#8From the link, it claims that this "gives access to all the logins you've saved in Firefox", but I thought it was common knowledge that in-browser password storage is insecure? [0,1]
If so, then this doesn't really promote much confidence in a product that appears to be a password manager. If they've addressed this issue, then that should probably be explicitly stated, although I understand the difficulties of that from a marketing perspective.
Maybe the reference to 256-bit encryption is a nod to this, with the expectation that those unfamiliar with the problems wouldn't be familiar with the differences between plain-text and encrypted storage?
Regardless, I think it's pretty promising that a browser is addressing this problem head-on, rather than leaving it to third-party companies to solve in a cross-platform way.

#9For me, 1Password has taken care of this space for years, so I'm curious how this will compare.

The video shows the password being copied (to a clipboard), so I'm guessing it doesn't do autofill. Does iOS support autofill apps?
