i noticed importing passwords from FF to chrome or other browsers wont work unless i turn the primary password off!

is that true? or there is a better way to do it?

if i need to temporarily turn primary password off isn't that a risky thing to do?!

You can export the logins in Firefox in the Lockwise Password Manager to a CSV file and import this file in others browser if they support importing CSV.

You normally have to close a browser to import its passwords to another browser. I suggest you do that.

chrome asks to close FF , Edge doesnt. but anyways, passwords wont sync unless i turn off the primary password. (even if FF is closed)

Did you try to use a CSV file to transfer the passwords as that would be the normal way ?

You can delete the CSV file once you are done transferring the logins if you do not want to keep it in a safe place as a backup.
