1643541 - There is no way to DELETE ALL 100% OF EVERY LOGIN YOU HAVE STORED

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1208194

(Firefox :: about:logins, defect)

Description

[Norm]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:77.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/77.0

Steps to reproduce:

SORRY FOLKS I CANNOT FILE THIS IN GIT HUB. ONLY REPOSITORIES ARE IOS AND ANDROID.

I am a long time customer of 1Password and I am not switching to Lockwise.

Over many years you have collected over 600 of my logins. I want to DELETE ALL OF THEM WITH ONE CLICK.

Actual results:

The one and only screen I can find for Lockwise MAC requires removing each of 637 logins one at a time. THIS IS INSANE. I never signed up for Lockwise and I don't want it even if you paid me.

I am happy with 1Password, they've got a good ten years of development time on you and Lockwise will likely NEVER CATCH UP or offer anything better.

Let's see how your coders like it if I take away global search and replace!

Expected results:

Like any list on a computer, be it in a spreadsheet, computer code, or a database, I should be able on a Mac to press COMMAND-A and select ALL, then press delete or remove.

Or click on the first item, scroll to the last item, and while holding the shift key down, select the last item.

If you want you can program a warning Are You Sure? This is PERMANENT.

This one page of log-in management that can only be managed one entry at a time is a JOKE.

Who in their right mind approved this piece of junk?

I AM LOGGING THIS AS A DEFECT BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IT IS. You have my logins and they are not secure enough for me. I want my logins OFF your servers ASAP.

Lockwise on desktop is just a rebranding of the existing password manager. By default logins are still stored locally.

The Firefox password manager (now branded as Firefox Lockwise in about:logins) has been around since the beginning of Firefox…

We are working on this in the next few weeks in bug 1208194. I agree it's unfortunate that we lost this ability with the rebranding.

You have my logins and they are not secure enough for me.

Btw. you could set a master password in Firefox to improve the security.

Do you use Firefox Sync? If not then the logins aren't on a Mozilla server.

To remove the logins from your local computer you can delete logins.json from Firefox profile folder after quitting Firefox. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles#w_locate-your-profile-folder for how to find your profile folder. This will also log you out of your Sync account (if enabled) but when you sign back in you can disable login sync.

Alternatively you could enable the Browser Console command line (text input) and run the code Services.logins.removeAllLogins().
