How to Export Saved Logins and Passwords to CSV File in Firefox
Mozilla Firefox comes with a native option that allows the user to export his saved logins and passwords for web sites. The data will be saved to a CSV file that can be opened with many modern apps like Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice Calc, etc, or modified with Notepad.
Firefox is a popular web browser with its own rendering engine, which is very rare in the Chromium-based browser world. Since 2017, Firefox has the Quantum engine which comes with a refined user interface, codenamed "Photon". The browser doesn't include support for XUL-based add-ons any more, so all of the classic add-ons are deprecated and incompatible. See

Must have add-ons for Firefox Quantum
Thanks to the changes made to the engine and the UI, the browser is amazingly fast. The user interface of Firefox became more responsive and it also starts up noticeably faster. The engine renders web pages much faster than it ever did in the Gecko era.
Modern browsers like Google Chrome allow exporting saved passwords to a file. In Firefox, exporting saved passwords was only possible with the help of extensions. Finally, a native option is now available the built-in Lockwise password manager.
This post will show you how to export Saved Logins and Passwords to a CSV File in Firefox.

- There, click on the button with three dots to open the Lockwise menu.
- Select Export logins... from the menu.
