Hi,

I have used Firefox for a long time on both PC and Android. On my PC, I have a master password whenever I want to autofill my username and password for some websites. On my android phone, I realize that I don't even need to authenticate at all for it to autofill. I downloaded Lockwise, but that still does not authenticate me.

Is there a way to force authentication when autofilling, either through a master password or fingerprint?

I already have the latest version(84.1.2) of Firefox coming from Google Play(auto-update). I get an authentication request whenever I want to view saved logins, but I can access them without authentication when autofilling, either through the browser, or the lockwise app.
