What does this mean for iOS Lockwise users who use it as a system-level password manager? Will we be able to use Firefox for the same purpose? I had to switch back to Safari from Firefox on iOS because the latter had so many issues and missing features by comparison. Lockwise was the only solution from a developer I trust for syncing passwords between Ubuntu and iOS, and iCloud passwords are unavailable on Linux. I really hope iOS Firefox is updated to support system-level password management!

TFA answers your question.

  Could you elaborate? I'm not sure what TFA stands for in this context. If you meant 2FA (two factor authentication), that doesn't solve the problem of managing passwords.

    TFA = The F*cking Article, a version of RTFM, basically. > Note: Firefox for iOS will already sync your saved Lockwise passwords. You can currently only use those inside Firefox. Check back for updates in December 2021 on how to use Firefox for iOS as your system-wide password manager.

      Oh, I see that now. I could have sworn that wasn't there when I read the article initially? In any case, I'm glad iOS users will still have that functionality!

        Based on all the other confusion in this thread, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't.

It looks like iOS Firefox will be updated to backfill this functionality: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/r0kpke/lockwise_is_officially_dying/hlt1u19/?context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/r0kpke/lockwise_is... Thanks for looking out for us, Mozilla! :)
