Fast Access to Password

I use the Firefox password manager build into the Web browser app on android.

Sometimes the autofill doesn't work on some apps/webservices so I need to manually copy the password across.

Since you stopped supporting lockwise, this is a massive pain, I need to click through many menus, and once I change screen the vault locks again meaning it's very cumbersome to copy a username and password.

Is there a shortcut to access the password vault directly? Is it possible to add a widget that launches straight into the vault in the browser?

Hi

Thank you for your patience while we have been looking into the password auto-fill issue in Firefox for Android. I have been advised by our developers that this issue is due to be fixed in Firefox for Android 117, which is due to be made available from the end of this month. Please look out for an update from the Google Play store.

Thank you.
