Hi! I could not find an answer anywhere, so here is my question:

Can I access my saved passwords in a broswer that is not firefox?

Background: I have a company phone which does not allow me to install firefox. I was hoping through the accounts.firefox.com login I would get access, but with no success.

Thank you!

No, that is not possible, you can only connect to Sync using Firefox as data on the Sync server is encrypted and needs a special key and software connect to Sync and decrypt. You can export the logins on a desktop device to a CSV file and email that file to the mobile device or use a USB drive to inspect this file.

Firefox for Android has an "Autofill in other apps" feature, but I've never tried it so I'm not really clear on how it works. See: Turn on/off saved logins, login sync and login autofill in Firefox for Android.

Oh, but you can't install Firefox for Android. Hmm...

Are you allowed to install Bitwarden (https://bitwarden.com/), or another password manager? You could transfer your saved logins to Bitwarden and use the Bitwarden add-on in your Firefox for Windows (or other password manager, etc.).
