  • Master password not on Android phone

    From Dick van Nierop@21:1/5 to All on Sun Feb 21 05:37:36 2021
    I run Firefox 85.1 on PC, laptop (both on W10) and phone (Android One) and have my passwords synchronized. For safety piurposes I use a master password on laptop and PC and would like this also on my phone.
    I can acces my passwords on all devices but am not able to set a master password on my phone. I can not find the item anywhere in the Firefox settings.
    In settings I see the following options:
    Search
    Tabs
    Customize
    Logins and passwords
    Accessibility
    Language
    Set as default browser
    Private brwosing
    Enhanced tracking Protection
    Site permissions
    etc.

    When choosing Logins and passwords there is only
    Save logins and passwords
    Autofill
    Synchronise logins
    Saved logins

    Nowhere the options to set a master password.

    There isn't one.

    Presumably it's assumed you will lock your phone when there is a
    possibility that someone you don't trust could use it.
