I knew this was inevitable and was why I held off trying or moving to this.

Not open-source, 3rd-party trackers in the android app, no easily accessible 3rd-party audits (that I can find), an unintuitive UI (no easy 1-button copy, clunky item entry*, etc.), and roughly 1 security incident every 1.5 years. Are they the worst? No. Are there better ones? Yes. *The number of people at work which put their username in the URL field is astounding. We also have people saving personal passwords into…
I'd also say it's integration with Firefox on Android is just a broken, miserable experience. (I mostly blame FF for this, because it used to be great) https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/9773
LastPass has stagnated last few years after being bought out and raising prices for no additional benefit

#123When do we fork Firefox because Mozilla is a failure at their job? They've managed to lose almost all their market popularity, mobile Firefox share is almost nonexistent, they pay their executives extremely disproportionately compared to most nonprofits, they have expanded into countless failed side projects (Firefox OS, Firefox Send) and vestigial side projects they aren't good at (Pocket, Firefox Focus, Firefox Rea…
Personally I like Pocket although there are certainly places where it could use improvement.
Last time I tried it you couldn't update titles. Which is very limiting. Some web pages have great titles and other web pages don't.

#124So I have lockwise but I have two different firefox identities/profiles to separate work and personal. I'm an Apple eco-system person, but keychain/icloud ties itself to my login/apple user id.
Anyone know of a password manager that:
a) integrates and is native in MacOS
b) integrates in iOS
c) synchronizes across platforms
d) allows for separation of identities and selection when autofilling in
1) browsers
2) iOS applications

#125Never used it, but it does seem like 'zilla rather enjoys shutting stuff down if it's somehow useful.. probably to concentrate more on what really matters... such as minor useless UI tweaks, "hamburger" menus and turning tabs into buttons..
This bile was brought to you by the "Choose an application to open the ftp link." dialog in Firefox.

#126Very sad to see Lockwise being sunsetted. It provided good basis for new product that actually could be a competitor to 1password. However, I felt in guts it will have problem with traction, because it seemed too opinionated for me. I have noticed some people wanted to use Lockwise just like a password manager. However, by a long time it was a read-only client for Firefox Sync. No silly OTP calculator to cover Google…
The functionality as been subsumed into Firefox.

#127I try to give Mozilla some benefits of doubt and wasted 5 min trying to search for an official note, PR , blog or something that provides more detail, in a simple and clear manner to explain the situation. They could have worded it as All Lockwise functions being integrated into Firefox, iOS version coming in December. Nope, this is it. Or may be it is me being dumb. But judging from some comments here this support d…
Yeah, it's poor messaging.
Re: End of Support for Firefox Lockwise
#128While Firefox does have export/import - I'm wondering if there's a free and secure password manager with an API?
Re: End of Support for Firefox Lockwise
#129I see Mozilla on a long way down. Firefox loses market share quarter by quarter, Thunderbird basically looks like it did 15 years ago and all the other projects are not real successes or have long been abandoned. Now, if Mozilla announces a new product I don't care at all, because I expect that it will be abandoned sooner or later.
Mozilla should really focus on buildind a world class, fast and secure browser. And if this is successfull then start new things.

Wait so it lets you store your 2FA secrets and your password in the same place? That sounds counterintuitive.
It's super useful for a few sites I visit frequently who require 2FA but I don't need that security. But yeah, otherwise it's a pretty remarkably bad idea.
When you sign in to a website from your phone using a saved password and use that same phone for 2fa, it's pretty much the same thing.
The whole meme that saving the 2fa seed to password managers is a bad idea needs to die. Most of the advantages of 2fa are still present when using a password manager.
