Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy S10E phone. Firefox used to (with my permission) autofill all previously saved id/passwords in all apps. Now I receive a message stating 'unlock Firefox'. My phone itself does not have an password and I don't want it to. Please advise, thank you.

Hi

You will need to have a password on your device for this to work.

GRRR!! I don't want to have a password on my phone!! I don't do banking or other stuff like that. I don't understand why it saves some passwords and not others. I only have one app (PetDesk) that it won't save the password for. Why can't this be a choice?! I read in another post here that you can get rid of Unlock Firefox. True or not? I couldn't find a way to do that.
