    Checked it out: apparently I had a mozilla account at one point in time. Hit ‘forgot password’:

    Note: When you reset your password, you reset your account. You may lose some of your personal information (including history, bookmarks, and passwords). That’s because we encrypt your data with your password to protect your privacy.

    Forgot your password: fuck you.

    This is the exact fucking opposite of the behaviour I’d ever want from a password manager.

      I think that’s what most people want in a password manager. The only way to have a truly secure pw manager is to encrypt it and failsafe to delete. That way if your identity gets stolen or email compromised, it limits the damage.

        Said another way: if a company offering a password manager can recover all your passwords with you just clicking “forgot password”, that means they can read your passwords in plain text (and so can hackers if the company gets hacked).
