Your Mozilla account lets you access Mozilla Services on any device by simply signing in. With a Mozilla account and Firefox Sync, you can get all your bookmarks, passwords, open tabs and more. Protect your account with recovery information and backups to help you sign in if:

  • You forget your password
  • You lose your device
  • Your account is hacked

This article explains how to protect your account with recovery information, to help you get back into your account in case you get locked out.

Set up a secondary email address

Mozilla accounts will let you add a secondary email address as a backup in case you lose access to your primary email address. To learn how, see Add a secondary email address to Mozilla accounts.

Choose an email address that:

  • You use regularly
  • Is different from the one you use to sign in to your Mozilla account

Set up an account recovery key

You can use an account recovery key to sign in to your Mozilla account to regain access to your data in case you forget your password. See Reset your Mozilla account password with Recovery Keys for details.

Tip: Add accounts@firefox.com to your list of allowed senders to keep your email provider from blocking any confirmation code or password reset email and avoid them from going into the spam folder.

Set up more ways to sign in
