Delete all passwords on Firefox Android
Hi,
Firefox android provides no master password/primary password protection so passwords in the Firefox password manager are protected only by your lockscreen swipe(yeah, I thought the same thing you just thought).
I need full protection like on Desktop or I can't sync my passwords to Firefox. However, when temporarily enabling password sync on desktop, for example between two desktop devices it also temporarily enables it on android Firefox that you might have synced as well. The upshot of this for me is that I now have all my passwords on android without wanting them there for the above reasons.
So, how do I remove all passwords on my firefox android, without having to reinstall Firefox on the phone?

Hi
If you firstly go into your Firefox Sync settings, you can deselect passwords as an item to be synced. With this done, head to the Passwords option in the Firefox for Android menu and delete all of your saved passwords.
I hope that this helps.
I should have emphasized the fact that I have hundreds of passwords in the password manager. I need a way to delete them ALL at once - just something the equivalent of a simple 'delete al passwords' button.
That is not a feature in Firefox for Android. An alternative approach would be to clear all data from the app and sync back your bookmarks from your desktop copy of Firefox.
Thanks for the confirmation.
No problem, glad we could help.
