It would be nice if you could use Touch ID on Mac, instead of a password to protect the passwords manager. Even better would be if you don't have to fill it in when opening Firefox, but when the password manager is activated, as I don't like to fill in my password every single time I'm opening Firefox.

It's a great idea, not for only iMac users but desktop in general like Windows Hello and others types of hardware security.

TouchID requirement when filling in passwords

Please make it possible to authentificate ourselves with Touch ID when logging in with a saved password on MacOS. To have a reference what I mean, check Safari.mac-touch-id-passwort.jpg

I really hope, that this function would be actionable.

TouchID or password everytime we use saved password

Hello everyone,

I recently discovered that the saved password in Firefox is actually VERY weak. Let me explain : in Chrome, everytime we need to use a saved password, it asks us to use TouchID or the password of the open session on MacOS. I find it very nice for password protection. The issue with the actual protection on Firefox is that the passwords are actually only protected when we start the browser or if we go to the saved password menu. Not only there is no verification to use a saved password, but because of that, someone who access the computer just need to press the "reveal password" button to see what it's like, without needing to use the Firfox Password protection.

I don't know if I'm the only one in this situation but since I mainly use Firefox, I would be reassured to have this feature in the next Firefox updates 🙂

Best regards,

This would make me switch to Firefox (instead of Chrome) so this is a very good idea!
