I can't sign into Firefox Sync on my Android phone, but I can sign in on the computer. On the mobile device it says that the password/user name is wrong.

I am unable to sign into Firefox Sync on my Samsung Galaxy S4, using the exact same password and user name that I successfully sign in on the desktop computer. On the mobile device, I get a message stating that either the user name or password is incorrect. I want to be able to sync Firefox on the computer with Firefox on the phone, especially for the bookmarks, but I'm unable to do so even following the directions in the How-To video.

Hi pitbulllady

I would suggest a) resetting the password on desktop https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ive-lost-my-firefox-sync-account-information#w_iaove-forgotten-my-sync-password-ae-how-do-i-reset-it_2 and then b) trying again on your Android phone or tablet

If the above doesn't help and since we can't read minds :-) we need more troubleshooting details to help you:

  1. What version of Android are you using (e.g. Jellybean 4.1-4.3, Kitkat 4.4, Lollipop 5.0, 5.1, etc)?
  2. What version of Firefox for Android are you using? (please try the latest version which is currently FF37.0.1)
  3. What did you do exactly, what happened and what did you expect? (details please! including the steps in the video you followed)

Cheers!
