Does anyone know the status of Firefox Lockwise? It looks like, at least on iOS, its development completely stopped. The latest release was about 9 months ago and GitHub repository is also a. Lockwise is capable of generating strong, random passwords. When I visited the Engadget website, for instance, and tried to sign up for a new account, it generated a strong password for me when I clicked into the password field. (Don’t bother trying to use that password, it’s been changed.).

History[edit]

Developed by Mozilla, it was originally named Firefox Lockbox in 2018.^[8] It was renamed 'Lockwise' in May 2019.^[9][10] It was introduced for iOS on 10 July 2018 as part of the Test Pilot program.^[11] On 26 March 2019, it was released for Android.^[12]

On desktop, Lockwise started out as a browser addon. Alphas were released between March and August 2019.^[13] Since Firefox version 70, Lockwise has been integrated into the browser^[14] (accessible at about:logins),^[7] having replaced a basic password manager presented in a popup window.^[15]
