Firefox Support Forum

I have login passwords on Firefox desktop but they are not showing in Firefox ios and sync everything is already enabled on both devices having common Firefox account

To save and sync a new password, I put my email in and hit "Sign up or Sign in" - but then it tells me are you sure you want to create this account, because a previous user was in sync on this computer: and it's my same email. If I say yes and continue, it is asking to set a password and create an account. What happened to just signing in? Why did it stop me from doing so and reroute me like this? I'm in same browser and user platform as always on this device. Big snafu for no reason. BTW I signed in now with a different account to Support because I have to sign in to ask the question.

I do not remember my password from almost 3 years ago. I am not sure my passwords still stored in my old firefox account but I found my recovery key. I will try to do password reset but it says resetting password resets the account data. I got the e-mail for password reset but I am not sure to click it if because I am afraid that it resets my data. When I enter it does it provide option for to enter recovery key to not to delete the data I have?

I'm a Chinese user, and all my firefox account in other devices( windows10, IOS) was login in page https://accounts.firefox.com.cn", but using firefox in ubuntu, it was redirect to https://accounts.firefox.com. Even i login with the same e-mail, the data can not be syn, and i have known the reason was there are two different server for Chinese.

But i need a way to syn data in Ubuntu, please tell me how to deal with that. 3Q !

my passwords(logins) did not sync from my pc to new iphone. All i have is the website but no user name nor password. my old iphone has everything. What should i do, i have over 400 logins

Thanks in advance for the help

How can I revert my sync data to what I had been using on my newer computer, following the use of an old outdated computer ? My bookmarks, passwords et al. have reverted to the old data.

I have tried to turn off sync on the older machine that I rarely use. There are many bookmarks that I need to recover now on the new machine. I had everything selected to sync to the newer data on the older machine, but it would not sync. Now my new machine shows the the old data!

Thank much for suggestions! RayneByrd

I'm logged in to the same Firefox account on 4 devices: 2 Windows, iOS, and an Apple laptop. When I changed from my last browser I transferred all my passwords from Opera and Chrome. I can now see my saved passwords on my Windows devices and my iOS phone, but not on my Apple laptop. I use the same account and password across all four devices, but my laptop is the only one which doesn't show my passwords. I've tried re-syncing it, logging out and back in, and nothing has worked. Despite the lack of passwords, I can still see the tabs from other devices. Occasionally, when on the password page, I get a bar across the top asking me to log in with my password, but when I click on the 'Log In' button, nothing happens and the bar eventually disappears. This is despite already being logged in. Perhaps related, I can't set a primary password for my account. As far as I'm aware, I don't have one, and trying to set one tells me that it failed to change. I also occasionally get pop-up windows with something like "Security Center" asking me to create a new password, but even if I put in a password, this fails as well.

Yesterday my company laptop was factory reset by IT team. Today I re-installed firefox and logged into the account. All the logins, history etc are gone now. Is there a way to restore my data?
