hi team 

I am a multi decade, firefox in Mozilla supporter

About five years ago, had to transition to iPhone

The best solution was Lockwise for managing passwords, retaining cross platform support using firefox sync

In the last week or so Lockwise started automatically logging me out at least every day. This is extremely annoying and frustrating.

I would ditch lockwise, however it is the only solution to get Firefox sync passwords on iOS

Please advise - that seems like a bug in Lockwise that was recently introduced as a regression

It seems like Firefox password is not supported as a source in Firefox yet either on iPhone otherwise I would switch to that

thanks! i suppose i do remember it was deprecated all this time - has been working for so long :)

i remember not being able to switch at the time because Firefox system wide autofill didnt work

the instructions in that article to enable it worked tho! just tested - an app could pull up firefox password store
