Mozilla Ending Support for Firefox Lockwise Password Manager in December

Maybe Lockbox could have used a smokin' jingle like this.

An independent password/secret manager with End to End Encryption (E2EE) and external security audit is important for online security.
Right now I consider 1password and Bitwarden as suitable candidates and I am using the former. Bitwarden has free plan but lacks 2 factor authentication (2FA) in that plan and I think paying a little (for me at least) for the added security and convenience is worth it.

I wasn’t even aware Mozilla had a stand-alone password manager. I might of tried it if I knew. Oh well.

It wasn’t that great. You can’t add new logins directly to it or even edit logins in the app. I use firefox for work and I put Lockwise on my personal phone so I had access to passwords in case I needed them.
it’s a moot point now that I have 1Password on my work computer.

If it’s open source, what’s keeping someone from simply wiring up a copy to run standalone and putting it on GitHub for any interested people to use?

Nothing. You can do this if you want.

Bad for those using it. But there are other password management options available. Don’t think it will be missed.

Beyond your very valid point, it’s always worked quite slowly to me; a stark contrast to iCloud Keychain or even Google’s Chrome-embedded password manager.
