You might not have every password memorized by heart, nor do you need to when you use Firefox. With Firefox, users will be able to seamlessly access Firefox saved passwords. This means you can use any password you\u2019ve saved in the browser to log into any online account like your Twitter or Instagram app. No need to open a web page. It\u2019s that seamless and simple. Plus, you can also use biometric security, such as your face or fingerprint, to unlock the app and safely access your accounts. These new features will be available next Tuesday with the latest Firefox on Android release. Here are more details on the upcoming new features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><em>Creating and adding new passwords is easy<\/em><\/strong> &#8211; Now, when you create an account for any app on your mobile device, you can also create and add a new password, which you can save directly in the Firefox browser and you can use it on both mobile and desktop.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/ufi7K7Lg5oowM-o4XXAKRorFv0-GQnv84WzHeR_BAXGH5Lf7XdPfz6RmeWAXnIrTRwi4bC7OMavdJBFAA1Dvv5uZQB7l9j-Ddp7lYdxkLOn-frh_rwOLTrlXDSCVFEJaAhkqtxRY=s0\" alt=\"\" width=\"237\" height=\"478\"\/><figcaption>Create and add new passwords<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><em>Take your passwords with you on the go <\/em><\/strong>&#8211; Now you can easily autofill your password on your phone and use any password you\u2019ve saved in the browser to log into any online account like your Twitter or Instagram app. No need to open a web page.
