Long-time Firefox user. Sync works fine everywhere else. First time attempting sync with Firefox on iOS.

Desktop: Windows: 11, Firefox: 119.0 (64-bit) 2FA enabled with Authenticator code

iPhone 15: iOS 17.1, Firefox: latest version

I log in successfully to Gmail with username and password. Using the same username and password to connect with Firefox Sync, I get "Incorrect password".

Oh my. Senior moment. Trying to get too many things changed and set up at once. From somewhere in my ancient creaky memory, it occurred to me Sync does not use the regular password. Went to my password vault, got my Firefox Sync password, put that in. Everything is fine.
