According to the latest report, the popular web browser Firefox development company Mozilla recently announced that it will end support for its Firefox Lockwise password manager next month. Although the application will continue to work, it will no longer be available for download and will not receive any new updates.
The Firefox Lockwise password manager was announced in 2018 as part of the Mozilla experimental program, a new feature to try before deciding whether to integrate it into the company’s web browser. Like other password managers, Firefox Lockwise lets users check all their credentials stored in the Firefox web browser.
As The Verge pointed out, the app has been released for iOS, Android and desktop, but now most of its features have been integrated into the Mozilla web browser. Therefore, the company has announced that from December 13, 2021, Firefox Lockwise will no longer receive technical support.

Mozilla will end support for the Firefox Lockwise application on Android and iOS from December 13, 2021. You will no longer be able to install or reinstall Firefox Lockwise from the App Store or Google Play Store. iOS version 1.8.1 and Android version 4.0.3 will be the last version of Firefox Lockwise. The app can continue to work on your device, but it will no longer receive support or security updates.
Users can still see their login data saved in the application, but the company recommends migrating Lockwise data to the password manager of Firefox. After December 13th, the app will be removed from the App Store, and no updates – even security updates – will be released for it. Earlier this month, the iOS and Android Firefox browser applications updated new homepages and recommended content to users.
