Mozilla will end support for the Firefox Lockwise app on Android and iOS, effective December 13, 2021 as its functionality is being integrated into the Firefox mobile browsers. You will no longer be able to install or reinstall Firefox Lockwise from the App Store or Google Play Store. iOS version 1.8.1 and Android version 4.0.3 will be the last releases for Firefox Lockwise. The application may continue to work on your device, but it will no longer receive support or security updates.

After December 13, 2021, you can continue to access your saved passwords and your password management in the Firefox desktop and mobile browsers.

Firefox for Android version 93 and above already includes Lockwise's support for system-wide autofill. It may need to be enabled via the three dot menu → Settings → Logins and Passwords → Autofill in other apps. Switching this setting from off to on brings up the Android Autofill settings menu where you choose "Firefox".

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.

If you already have a Firefox account

  1. Sign in to your Firefox account.
  2. Sync your login credentials between your Firefox desktop, Android and iOS browsers.

If you have Firefox Lockwise but aren’t using a Firefox browser

  1. Download the browser and create a Firefox Account.
  2. Sync your login credentials between your Firefox desktop, Android and iOS browsers.
