Update:<\/b> Firefox Accounts is now live on AMO.<\/p>\n

In order to provide a more consistent experience across all Mozilla products and services, addons.mozilla.org<\/a> (AMO) will soon begin using Firefox Accounts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During the first stage of the migration, which will begin in a few weeks, you can continue logging in with your current credentials and use the site as you normally would. Once you\u2019re logged in, you will be asked to log in with a Firefox Account to complete the migration. If you don\u2019t have a Firefox Account, you can easily create one during this process.<\/p>\n

Once you are done with the migration, everything associated with your AMO account, such as add-ons you\u2019ve authored or comments you\u2019ve written, will continue to be linked to your account.<\/p>\n

A few weeks after that, when enough people have migrated to Firefox Accounts, old AMO logins will be disabled. This means when you log in with your old AMO credentials, you won\u2019t be able to use the site until you follow the prompt to log in with or create a Firefox Account.<\/p>\n

For more information, please take a look at the Frequently Asked Questions below, or head over to the forums<\/a>. We\u2019re here to help, and we apologize for any inconvenience.<\/p>\n

If you have forgotten your current password:<\/p>\n
