Firefox Lockwise is a deprecated[5] password manager for the Firefox web browser, as well as the mobile operating systems iOS and Android.[6][7] On desktop, Lockwise was simply part of Firefox,[8] whereas on iOS and Android it was available as a standalone app.

If Firefox Sync was activated (with a Firefox account), then Lockwise synced passwords between Firefox installations across devices. It also featured a built-in random password generator.

The application and branding have since been "phased out."[9]
