![]() From Engadget article: "Mozilla's Firefox is introducing some new features that will make it easier and more secure to log in to apps on Android, matching some of the features available via Google Chrome. Unless I'm missing something, there is no setting to select picking up UID/passwords from apps. Afraid someone will have to confirm that it made it to release or not. Now, I'm not absolutely sure that Ver 93 Firefox did actually have the capability baked in as advertised.I still see the LockWise logo on the Password management page (per the attached image). The new features will arrive with the Firefox 93 update, which will start rolling out on October 5th, 2021." The update will give you the ability to save and autofill passwords for Android apps using Firefox, or unlock them using your face or fingerprints." Also "Mozilla introduced all of this to time up with Cybersecurity Awareness month, which is October in case you didn't know. See the attached image for Login save settings. Firefox never offers to save the app login data. All the logins are stored UID and password pairs in Firefox password manager, no duplicates of the same site. The login is picked up correctly if the web site is offered in Firefox but not picked up by Firefox as an app. The Password fill works as it should from the Web Page of the same App entity, say Amazon for example.ฤก. ![]() All the available settings are as they should be set. ![]() Something is clearly broken in External App password from Firefox for Android. In Android 10.0 Long Press on the UID or Password box will bring up an "Autofill" box but it does nothing and does not offer a UID or Password anywhere for external apps. The same text box also appears below the password box after manually entering the User ID and selecting CONTINUE to get to the Password entry box (but only in 8.1) If you Long Press the User ID or Password box in 8.1 it offers a Paste selection but it's not a UID or Password, just the last Cut item. The 8.1 Android version will pop up a text box below the User ID entry that says "Unlock Firefox" but selecting the text box does nothing. The 7.0 Android version never offers a valid saved login for external apps. "Autofill in other Apps" selection never appears in the menu for the above set up but does appear in an Android 8.1 version with the same Firefox version of 94.1.2. ![]()
