Firefox mobile needs password generation

[Vanjaman]

From what I've heard Firefox for desktop has a password generator, which is great, but firefox for mobile does not, even though the Lockwise app had it. I think password generation is very important, since not having to remember difficult passwords is the main perk of a password manager. googling for password generation on mobile is less convinient than on a desktop, so I wouldn't be surprised if people just don't do that. Adding password generation to mobile firefox would really improve my user experience 🙂

+1 to this. I know it's a minor thing, but it really is a pain to go to some password generator site, I'd love to see this be integrated like it is on desktop. It's such a QoL improvement.

Great!!!

Great news. I love and trust the desktop version. Looking forward to the mobile function.

@IsabellaAny updates yet?

Hi everyone, we're still working on it! However, if you're really eager to see the work in progress, you can check out the feature on Firefox Nightly: https://www.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/channel/desktop/.

Here is the unpredictable password generator. With this tool, you can fully customize your password by choosing the number of characters, including options for alphabets (both lowercase and uppercase), numbers, and special symbols. It's easy to use and generates a strong password for you in seconds.

Use ProtonPass or Bitwarden. Browser password management is awful

[russbroom]

Frankly, Firefox desktop barely has this feature either, which is a massive oversight in the 21st century!
It only works under specific circumstances, and websites are doing their upmost to make login fields less obvious to browsers now, so it's barely functional anymore.

If I want to manually add a new login via the Firefox password page, there's no attempt whatsoever by Firefox to suggest or generate a password, so I'm off to another browser to get a decent password suggestion, which I then paste into Firefox!
Does this really sound like an ideal solution to the dev's? 😕

I use Firefox across multiple Windows and Linux devices and the password generation feature is a must for providing complexity..

I simply cannot do this on my Android phone and avoid using the phone for creating accounts etc..

Very frustrating as I don't use a third party password manager.

Please introduce this to mobile 🍻

Password generator on Firefox for Android shipped in 130 - see Release Notes here.

We are working on bringing the feature to iOS - stay tuned for updates.

Thanks again for pushing this work forward! 🙌

Allow Firefox on iOS to be a password provider

I am using Firefox on all my devices to store passwords. While this works fine, on Firefox Mobile on iOS it is currently not possible to set Firefox as a password manager, unlike other apps such as Bitwarden and 1password. It would be great if I can use Firefox as a password provider on iOS so I can access passwords for some of the apps I use natively on iOS such as Spotify, Discord and so on in Firefox instead of having to open the Firefox app and copying and pasting the password in my app. 

see also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1466751 and the ‘credential provider’ mentioned here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/password-autofill

(Note: similar ideas have been merged into this thread)

@DouweB thanks for the suggestion! And good news, it's being worked on right now. Stay tuned here for updates.

I am very surprised and glad that this problem will be solved. I hope that someday we will also see the ability to generate a password in the Desktop window with passwords, and not necessarily on the site via a right click
