I bought a second laptop. The second laptop keeps insisting on a master password to sync passwords with my first. I have NEVER set up a master password on my first and I am stuck! There is no option to import from the SAME browser. My first laptop keeps downloading a CSV file that my second refuses to acknowledge that it IS a CSV file.

Firefox (on 2nd laptop) asks me if i want to save passwords and autofill, I always say yes BUT ZERO autofill. Back to the paper age. I have had to write down my pass words from my first and write them in every time. I have run every malicious software and sacn can I can find.

Ideas anyone please.

You can temporarily set the Primary Password and use that password instead of OS Authentication to export the logins if you can't get this to work.
