Mozilla has announced via a support article that it will end support for its Firefox Lockwise password manager by December 13th 2021. The final release versions are 1.8.1 (iOS) and 4.0.3 (Android). Users will no longer be able to download or reinstall Firefox Lockwise from the App Store or Google Play Store after that date.
However, users can continue to access their saved passwords and their password management in the Firefox desktop and mobile browsers.
Firefox Lockwise started in 2018 as a small experimental app called Lockbox. It further developed to allow access to saved passwords and also performed autofills on iOS, Android, and desktop devices. It was later adapted as a Firefox extension and was hopeful to stay for a longer time.
