How do I protect my synced passwords on mobile?

I got the news about lockwise being end of life. I used it as my Android password manager so far.

The email told me to use Firefox instead. So far so good, but: When I log in and sync in Firefox all the passwords or unprotected in the browser. I can simply open Amazon and Firefox happily fills out the login. I have to use my pin/fingerprint to access the list of passwords but while browsing they are leaked.

Where is the setting to protect my passwords? This is unacceptable as a password manager!

Hi

If you open the Firefox for Android menu and select Settings, under Logins and Passwords, you can turn off the autofill function which might be of use.

I hope that this helps.

Hi,

that does seem to work but damn it is inconvenient. Turning off auto fill as a solution feels off.
