Any details on security and how does it compare in terms of feature to Lastpass, Dashlane and 1Password? (sell it a bit...)

@utestme It is still in its early phases compared to those password managers. The one thing I would say makes it different is the fact that it's open source and the code can be reviewed unlike the others which are mostly proprietary. Firefox is working to provide a suite of privacy respecting products, and they are always looking for feedback. With the right support and feedback from the community, it would hopefully get to the point of being the trustworthy alternative to the other password managers. And Firefox is behind the product, so I bet they take its security very seriously.
Any timeline on this issue: https://github.com/mozilla-lockw...
Most developers use Chrome and Firefox to test so adding a Chrome extension would be great.
@junaid33 No timeline yet but it's certainly on our radar and part of our mid-term strategy
@junaid33 @sandy_sage Ah, that's a dealbreaker for me. Chrome extension would have meant I could replace my 1Password usage, but this has not given me any reason not to keep using it when it works with everything already.
@junaid33 @sandy_sage Great... adding me here to this thread. If it ever becomes available... ping Lastpass users here in the company but mostly on Chrome
I was excited to start using this a few weeks ago as I have been encountering more and more issues with LastPass. My experience was that this is still missing crucial features like auto generated passwords, so decided to keep on looking for an alternative.
@hermann_harris Agreed, I love Firefox and want them to be successful, but this still needs to grow quiet a bit before I'm ready to try it. Auto-import from Lastpass, sharing passwords (and family groups), just to name a couple things.
Hopefully this will encourage people who aren't using a password manager to use one though
@grahampark Fully agree. The basic experience is fantastic and very simple to use so will hopefully have a bright future!
@hermann_harris totally fair; thanks for the feedback! Just as an FYI, password generation is available within Firefox. https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox...
@ryangaddis Thanks for the link. You are right and my apologies for saying that Lockwise did not have this feature even though it has. I just never figured to look for it where it actually is.
I am a great fan of mizilla and this project is great but It is simply not ready for masses yet.
I tried it on my iphone the first day I got the news after updating the firefox but autocompletion is simply a failure maybe one day in the future it will properly autocomplete

@igor_dimovski They are doing an amazing job out there. No other company fights for the open internet as much as they do.
Is there any way to import logins from a different stand alone password manager?
Hunter
@jreichenstein At the moment, I don't think the stand-alone mobile apps allow importing of logins. But the add-on is build into Firefox Browser and it allows importing from other browsers. Importing from other stand-alone password managers is not yet possible. The fact that it is open-source makes it more likely to get feedback from the community and these features get built into it.
I hope Mozilla keeps working on this for a long time. Its a long way from what I see as the gold standard, 1Password, but still lots of opportunities to make something better than 1Password.

@rodrigo_leles1 If you're using the Firefox Browser, I believe you can import and export passwords manually since Lockwise is built into it. But with the stand-alone mobile apps I don't think it's possible yet.
