Hello there, so after forgetting my password and resetting it, I lost all my synced data previously, including passwords, bookmarks, and settings. Is there a way to get that back?

Hi Jose

Unless you have that data on your other device or in a backup of your Firefox profile, it will not be possible to recover it.

Firefox Sync deletes data in transit between devices when the password is changed as a security measure to protect your data in transit from interception by malicious third parties.
