Killing Lockwise in Firefox 70

[Mr. Man-wai Chang]

I could not find it in add-ons. How can I disable or even remove it?

Well, I do NOT need any tools to remember nor collect passwords.

You must have a Firefox Account so that you can access Lockwise.

Not really since Firefox 70.

"Firefox Lockwise is built into Firefox 70 and over."

REF:
<https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manage-passwords-firefox-desktop-firefox-lockwise>
and <https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/70.0/releasenotes/>

The user just has to disable the settings for saving and auto-filling
logins.

I like that it now has a password generator.

To access it type 'about:preferences#privacy' then scroll down to the
Logins and Passwords heading and click 'Saved Passwords'.

Would like to remove it, not a trace left. :)

The password manager is not removable from Firefox. Is there a reason
why turning it off is not enough? Maybe we can provide a better solution.

Why isn't Lockwise just an optional add-on? Silly....

I don't want accidents. I've never used built-in password managers in
browsers, never liked the idea at all. It's just silly and insecure.

That does NOT mean Lockwise was a bad password manager as a tool. Just
that I do not use that kind of tools.

I can assure you that all you need to do is turn it off, and no
accidents will occur. :)

You never know. Removing the module completely is better.
