The Pocket app and web experience are trusted by millions of people everyday to stay up to date and informed on the topics they care about most, free from clickbait, fake news<\/a> and the pressure and anxiety often felt while on social media<\/a> platforms. Since being acquired in 2017, Pocket is part of the family of products made by Mozilla, the nonprofit-backed tech company building responsible technology that prioritizes people over profits, so internet safety and security are top of mind for our customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to provide additional security benefits such as two-factor authentication to our users, all Pocket accounts will be converted to Firefox accounts, an authentication service powered by Mozilla. For those of you who enjoy logging in to Pocket via Google or Apple, you’ll still benefit from the enhanced security that’s enabled by having Pocket backed by Firefox accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want you to have the best security for your account \u2014 and we\u2019re lucky to be a part of the Mozilla family of products that have a team working full-time on creating the best authentication experience possible. By using a Firefox account<\/a> to access Pocket in any browser or mobile device, you will benefit from Mozilla\u2019s privacy policy, which always puts people first. (To learn how to manage your Firefox account and the data associated with it, click here<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transitioning to a Firefox account is quick and easy! <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Starting July 11, 2023, Pocket users will be prompted to transition to a Firefox account in order to log in and access their Pocket account. Aside from changing how you log in to Pocket, this does not affect your saved items. While optional at first, the transition to a Firefox account in order to log in will be required by August 15, 2023.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Pocket Premium subscribers, converting your account will not impact your subscription. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
