Would you like to export your saved passwords from Firefox so that you can use them on another device? We'll show you how..
Mozilla Firefox will automatically save your passwords upon request . In newer browser versions, the passwords are also managed via the so-called Firefox Lockwise. At the same time, the saved passwords are recorded in a local profile. If you now want to export the access data, you can either pull the passwords as clear text from Firefox Lockwise or save the profile folder - the second option, however, only allows the import in the same browser. We explain both methods below.
Firefox Lockwise is a password manager service from Mozilla, with which you can use your passwords on all your devices via sync. The online function is optional - passwords can also only be saved locally and are therefore more secure against unauthorized access. You can export your access data as a CSV file and import it into other browsers or into a new Firefox installation. Follow our step-by-step instructions or take a look at the brief instructions .
Note for the import: If the entry " Import credentials from file " is not available in the Firefox Lockwise menu, the function may be deactivated. Activate this via the Firefox configuration editor (about: config). There you change the setting for " signon.management.page.fileImport.enabled " to " true "..
