Hello,

I wonder how do you encrypt my saved passwords on your database? My main concern is whether you can see my saved usernames and passwords for different websites. If no then how can you recover those credentials when I forget my password? I am a graduate student in cybersecurity field and that would be a great help if you could provide me an article which explains how Firefox password manager works with technical details.

Are you talking about the Password Manager in Firefox, or how sync data is stored on the servers?

Sync: The username and password are used to create the encryption.
