Hi, Lockbox desktop dev here. Some thoughts:
> if there isn't a Chrome plugin, it's not going to be of much use to me
Working on it! We have to get the webextension working in Firefox first, then we'll branch out to other browsers. (Contributors welcome, btw: https://github.com/mozilla-lockbox/lockbox-addon https://github.com/mozilla-lockbox/lockbox-addon)

Well, you can import Chrome passwords into Firefox pretty easily, and set up Firefox Sync, and then you've got all your (Chrome) desktop logins on mobile. Not ideal, but works.

Sure, I definitely understand. I've personally worked on Persona, FxOS, Test Pilot, and Screenshots (and now Lockbox). IMO Mozilla has gotten steadily better at shipping new products, and once we get Lockbox integrated into desktop, it'll have really good chances of long-term survival.
Besides, any new startup might go away; at least with Mozilla products, you can be sure we aren't going to do anything sketchy with your data.
Finally, I'll point out that, if you try Lockbox, it'll give Mozilla's management good signals that they should keep investing in Lockbox :-)
- MasterYoda 8y agoDo you or someone else know if the Lockbox app will feature full password management (like add, delete, edit, generate strong random pw, folders etc) in the future or is it only meant to be a "password access" app?
- bastawhiz 8y agoJust seeing this now. Thanks for the response! Looking forward to the extensions.
