Currently, Firefox Lockwise on Android doesn't have support for a Primary Password, like Firefox on desktop does. Instead, it uses the security provided by your phone to secure your passwords by locking and unlocking the app.

In the app settings, you can change how long it takes for the app to automatically lock again, which will force you to unlock the app again before you will be able to use your passwords.
