Use pattern password for Firefox Master Password in Android

more options

I want to store my Firefox passwords on Android device encrypted. Firefox have only one way for this - enable "Master password". This is secured, but not comfortable to use, because typing master password via keyboard each time is too busily.

Will be good if Firefox for Android can accept Pattern password (Pattern Lock in Android) as master password and unlock password storage via quickly drawing pattern on screen via finger instead of typing password via keyboard.

I understand that this is less secure that classy symbol password, but will be much better that store passwords without any encryption, and very comfortable to use.

What do you think about this? Can you add this feature in future versions?
