how much we fucking with firefox password manager ? i like it because it generates random strings when ever i click on a Create Passwoprd field, but maybe theyre printing out all my passwords and pinning them up on a notice board in the office so they can all laugh at them. this could be happeneing but who knows any thing to day

bitwarden, which i use every day, integrates with firefox and can generate passwords for you pretty easily, but probably not as directly as firefox will. but it can integrate with apps so you dont have to open firefox to retrieve your passwords. bitwarden has stronger encryption but firefox is probably fine for general use.

historically there has been some security issues https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/firefox-master-password-system-has-been-poorly-secured-for-the-past-9-years/ but it seems like the consensus today is that FF password manager is fine as long as you have a good master password and two-factor authentication on your account.

you can read a little more here https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1eaiev9/firefox_password_versus_password_managers/

I don't know the security model of it, but that's not possible with 1Password, which uses Secure Remote Password. And I don't believe you can use Firefox's password manager everywhere, which is a problem. (1Password is available on every major desktop and mobile OS and browser, except KaiOS)
