Bumped into the following scenario when switching to chrome->firefox: 1. Installed firefox on device A, created a username with a strong password (right clcik > Generate password). 2. Installed firefox on device B, as the password is very strong I couldn't recall it and had to reset it. 3. Now I can log in on device B, but left out of device A (as the password is 'unrememberable'....

The problem is multiplied as I have FF installed on 4 or 5 devices.

Tried to set a master password on on of the devices, but when trying to log in on one of the others, it is not recognized.

Any thoughts? Thanks

Hi eyalasko, regarding the Master Password, that is local only, so it's normal not to cross over between installations.

In your step 1 and step 2, was it the password for your Firefox Account?

It seems somewhat impractical to use an unmemorable password for that account since it is needed to sync your saved logins. You might need to choose something the old fashioned way.

You can possibly send the password via email to other devices.
