I have a new Android cellphone and my Unlock Firefox Password did not transfer to my new phone. How do I set a new Unlock Firefox Password. I'm so frustrated. Thank you for any help you can give.

Hi

Firefox for Android will use your Android device lock screen credentials to lock access to saved passwords. If you set a lock screen password on your new device, you should then be able to access them.

Note that you can also choose to use Biometrics like Fingerprint and Face Recognition to unlock the logins.
