This was me for the last 7 or so years. I still had the Lockwise app and everything.
I switched to Bitwarden half a year ago, and I’m very pleased with the transition.
I find it easier to manage with the add-on, and it allows for saving notes and attachments for each login. The built-in 2FA is godsent though. No more hacky solutions like Authy to get 2FA on my PC.
The original reason for why I switched, was because I was scared of my PC getting infected. If you store passwords in Firefox, they can be accessed from a file on the PC. If that’s not a concern for you, you can easily keep using it though.
I only ever use this PC for Searching stuff, social media, watching videos, and typing documents or spreadsheets it’s a trash-picked Chromebook which I put Debian on using the coreboot thing.
I did set the drive to encrypt with LUKS on install so I haven’t been super worried about them being read from the disk, although I probably will switch to Bitwarden or something else soon since Sync is starting to have problems for me, some passwords no longer syncing from Firefox desktop to Firefox Android, which is a bit annoying and could potentially get me in a jam if something happened to this laptop and I couldn’t get back in.

Yeah, the sync can be a bit “effy” sometimes. I’ve noticed it with history and open tabs, probably affects newly-saved passwords as well.
Anyways, Lockwise worked good for me for many years, and its definitely better than nothing.
