If you want to back up your saved usernames and passwords or move them to a different application, the Firefox Lockwise Password Manager allows you to export this data to a .csv (comma separated values) file. This feature is available starting in Firefox version 79.

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.
