Hopefully I can explain this well enough for someone to understand what I mean. A few months ago I changed my user IDs and Passwords on all my accounts and apps. For whatever reason, when I went to the Firefox Browser, today, as well as the Firefox Monitor, it would only accept the old user ID and Password. I then went to Lockwise and again, same (old) User ID and Password; however, in the Lockwise App under about Logins, it shows the NEW User ID and Password. I do not understand what that indicates as it is not used to login to the browser, monitor or Lockwise. Let me emphasize I am Semi-Computer literate, but nowhere near a techie, so any thoughts and help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The Lockwise app on a mobile device retrieves its data from the Sync server (i.e. no data is stored on the device).
A desktop device (computer) stores its data in logins.json in the profile folder and can upload its login data to the Sync server.
So maybe you only updated email and password in Lockwise on the desktop and not the actual Firefox Account credentials.

What email and password can you use on the accounts.firefox.com website?
