How do I keep my Sync data after resetting password?

I didn't know I need to keep a device on if I want to sync my old data. I read it thoroughly. This is annoying, I don't want to lose my Sync data from this because I didn't know. How do you guys retain your Sync data if I were to reset my password? My computer just got fixed and I don't like this greeting of where all my data like history and bookmarks flushed down because I wasn't signed-in in a device nor did I place a key or something.

Hi,

If you don't have a recovery key and reset your password, your cloud data will be erased. That's because it is encrypted and the only keys letting decipher them are actually your password and recovery key. Without them, there's no way to decrypt your data, and therefore no use in keeping them.

My last resort is to password guess all the way through. I hope I don't get locked out from this.

Alright, since it's tied with my email. Is Mozilla Sync different from Mozilla account? If I create a key now, would it work on Mozilla Sync since it's tied to my email? I just signed in with Google.

Mozilla account is used for Sync. Not sure how do you create a key of you cannot sign in?

I'm going to start fresh. I've come to acceptance. I still have an old profile last updated June 2025. The last time I used my Mozilla and create Sync was 2021. That's pretty old and somehow I no longer remember it.
