Seneste svar på When I sign in to sync I lose most of my saved passwordshttps://support.mozilla.org/da/questions/12684452020-02-15T11:06:38-08:00I don't know what "Sync" is, aside from an option in the security settings in Firefox preferences. 2020-02-15T11:06:38-08:002006hazelmurrayhttps://support.mozilla.org/da/questions/1268445#answer-1290646<p>I don't know what "Sync" is, aside from an option in the security settings in Firefox preferences. (I checked it, just in case it would bring back the lost logins.) Firefox, despite its promises that "refreshing" the browser would not erase my saved logins, did just that. The explanations on this forum are too technical for me, like the old outdated explanations to solve the problems by going to files under "troubleshooting" in the Firefox menu. I have also been signed up for "Lockwise" in spite of not ever intending to or doing it myself; consequently I don't know my password for that. One tab with the login page in Firefox preferences tells me to sign in with my password, the identical screen in another tab says I'm already signed in.
</p><p>If anyone would care to list all the steps to recover my logins, including where each thing they're referring to is located, and what "Sync" is, if it's involved, maybe they could help me solve this without waiting for my tech support person to arrive in a week or two.

I use an add-on that makes backups of my user profile, Just In Case.
Unfortunately, it is not compatible with the current Firefox.
</p><p>Every now and then, open the profile folder and create
a <strong>copy</strong> of the current profile <strong>as is</strong> to another location
on your hard drive. This way you will have a backup.

This should be done with <strong>Firefox Closed. </strong>
</p><p>Note: In case you need to restore from these backups,
you may need to overwrite old or corrupted files.

Second, reset your Firefox Account password to clear all saved data from the Sync server.
Third, paste your saved profile as you did before; then connect that device to Sync using the new password.
Fourth, make sure your passwords are getting saved / not deleted after a number of Firefox launches and exit events.
</p><p>Then one at a time reconnect your other devices back to Sync using the new password. Make sure all the devices are connecting to Sync without data loss, with a number of exit events and restarts before moving on to the next device.
