How to recover forgotten Master Password?

more options

Hello to whom it many concern. I have recently used the service "Firefox Lockwise", and apparently whilst entering the master password that I used upon creation of this service, it is telling me it is incorrect. Can I recover the master password, and change it?

Hi Adam, the traditional "Master Password" is specific to each installation of Firefox and protects against physical access to your logins. There is no method of recovery because it's purely a local setting.

That is different from your Firefox Account login, which is used for Sync.

Please do not reset any passwords until someone more familiar with the interaction can explain what is safe to do (i.e., won't cause data loss).
