This feature is available starting in Firefox version 78. Update Firefox to the latest release to use this feature.
If you want to move your saved usernames and passwords to a different application, Firefox Lockwise allows you to export this data to a .csv
(comma separated values) file.
Warning: Your passwords in the exported file will not be encrypted and will be in a readable form to anyone who can view this file. Do not upload online, email or share the exported file. Delete this file when finished.
Export usernames and passwords
- Click the menu button
to open the menu panel.
- Click . The Firefox Lockwise about:logins page will open in a new tab.
- Click the Firefox Lockwise menu (three dots), then click
- A dialog box will appear to remind you that passwords are saved as readable text. Click the button to continue.
- You will be prompted to enter your operating system password (or authenticate using your fingerprint, face or voice login if enabled). This is not your Firefox Account password, this is usually the password used to unlock your computer.
