Firefox Android requires my device password in order to view saved passwords, which suggests that passwords are encrypted at rest. However, it can also autofill passwords in webpages without requiring a device password to be entered. This suggests that passwords are unencrypted, at least while the phone is unlocked? (Unsure if device lock state matters.)

I'm wondering, at an app-data level, when are passwords encrypted vs unencrypted?

(Normally Android apps' data are hidden from other processes in secure containers, but certain privileged processes (e.g. especially on a rooted device) can still access this app data. So, I'm wondering if decrypted password data is ever stored in the app's data folder, or does decryption happen exclusively in-memory, or am I misunderstanding it and there's a secret third explanation?)

THIS IS Somewhat difficilt to explain so I hope my complaint/ my explanation here makes sense as i have written it. Let me explain:i had set up my Motorola Stylus 2023 to use Firefox as defailt app for storing passwords and it worked as it should have. Then i had to replace my phone and i got Motorola Stylus 2021 and firefox passwords quit working even though the correct passwords were stored by Firefox.. since this occured Thru investigation i have come to believe/think 5hat Moto App launcher on 2021 model interference is responsible. The moto app launcher on Motorola Stylus 2021 cannot be deleted or forced stopped. Is there another reason and how can i find the answer. Several times when i tried to sign on a particular i got a notice i was using outdated ed / old password but my Firefox password for the site was up to date so something was interfering. This thing of not being able to delete or force stop Moto app 2921auncher really ticks me off because it came preloaded bloatware and my newer Motorola 2023 Stylus functioned proprly and i thvink its because it had no corrupt power uungry Moto App Launcher preinstalled. Input PLEASE

I store my passwords on Firefox, but when I look at the list it shows about half and when that list comes to the end it is immediately followed by all the missing passwords in alphabetical order my question is Can i make it 1 complete list again... This is on my android. I use Firefox on my laptop and they are in one complete list?? Thanks in advance for any help. Jack

My dang keyboard remembers the emails and usernames, but i Can't do that anymore because of this new password manager, just has a key and says passwords, already tried other browsers and they don't have this stupid problem. Why do so many companies just assume to know what everyone wants ? Just stop breaking everything please. They had a great web browser but that's over now. On to the next browser, until they also decide to change everything and make it unusable. Great job guys, thanks for messing everything up. bye

Every password I tried to enter twice for verification never matched. I even had the "show"option engaged, so I could read letter by letter and never ended with to two that were not completely identical. I even got filthy and graphic in my last few responses knowing final responses vulgar in my last .

I logged into my account because my passwords are not coming up and I used to have a 175 + passwords saved and now I only have 35 I've never erased them or reset my Firefox Mozilla account just wondering how I can go about retrieving my information that has been lost
