Good start to combining passwords between browsers – Firefox Lockwise Review

Easily syncs between Mac/iOS/PC instances of Firefox. Integrates with iOS very well. Works with Chrome, Firefox, others as described in documentation online. Exporting from with Desktop Safari 12 and 13 is a real chore as Apple is constantly striving for better privacy/security within its own ecosystem. However, export from Desktop Safari can be accomplished.. You need a third-party script called “mrc-converter-suite”. to export from Safari. The resulting CSV export file from mrc-converter-suite will have to be re-formatted to Justin Scott’s (deprecated) Password Exporter plugin CSV format. Note the needed format including enclosing quotes for each website. I used Excel. Finally, import the re-formatted CSV file using Justin Scott’s FireFox Password Exporter plugin (will also import) using Firefox Developer Edition Version 53. Once logged into Lockwise, the Safari passwords will be imported and able to be used with Lockwise. It’d be much easier if there was a way to import directly from Safari desktop, but there doesn’t appear to be an automated or easy way to accomplish this using any other program. Because I was ultimately successful in accomplishing this (imported 300 passwords) and I couldn’t do it with any out-of-the-box with any commercial/trial software I tried). Therefore, I’ll give it 4 stars (out of 5) but it takes time, effort and patience.
