firefox account view credentials without additional authentication

On my iPhone, if I use the Firefox app and sign in to my Firefox account, I'm able to view my credentials (including passwords) in plain text without entering any additional password, like the master password which I have to enter in Firefox on my desktop. I assumed I would have to enter a master password or use touch ID or something to unlock the credential view. Does this seem like a problem to anyone else? Thanks.

Never mind. I found the setting to enable touch ID and passcode for logins. Thanks.
