That’s a nice feature, and I hope other browsers will adopt something similar soon. Also looking forward to the password generator that’s finally coming in Firefox 69. On a slight tangent, I wish the major browsers would agree on an interoperability standard for their built-in password managers.

Press reports that this is shipping in Fx69 were incorrect.

  No? That’s a bummer. What’s the correct EVA (estimated version of arrival)?

Are you talking about an interop standard for storing/sharing passwords, or for generating them? Because the latter is hobbled significantly by a twisting maze of password requirements and login form implementations by sites (banks, webmail, etc).

  > an interop standard for storing/sharing passwords Is what we need. You can export from Chrome to a CSV, and you can import that CSV into 1Password, but no way to get those passwords into or out of Firefox that I've found (please tell me if you have a method..).

    > "You can export from Chrome to a CSV, and you can import that CSV into 1Password, " It would be nice if there was a way to do this without touching the file system, although I suppose a ram backed filesystem would be a bit better, provided it didn't get swapped. But letting my passwords get stored in plain text on my spinning rust, even for just a minute or two, seems less than ideal.

  There is also this: https://wicg.github.io/change-password-url/index.html https://wicg.github.io/change-password-url/index.html which is an interop standard for websites to expose a "Change your password" page, which is a good place to start. It lets the password manager link directly to "your password for foo.com is expired/known to be leaked/weak, [change it here]"
