Search in Firefox password does not work
Since Mozilla has taken away support for lockwise and integrated all passwords into Firefox browser. It has become harder to access all passwords manually.
In lockwise (ios) it was possible to search through the passwords by giving any keyword as a search key. However in firefox, the search for passwords does not work.
Anyone else having this issue or is it only me ?

Currently, the mobile versions for iOS and Android are on separate code bases from the desktop operating systems. Issues/Bugs in the iOS version are handled on Github on:

I don't use Lockwise or Firefox's built-in password management on my iPad, so I'm not familiar with how those work.
In Firefox for Windows/Mac/Linux, you can search with part of the password, but it is displayed as bullets until you click the "eye" button and enter the Primary password (if you use a Primary password). That part isn't working for you?

Just to clarify, the problem lies with the search functionality. When you open passwords in your IOS devices and search for any keyword, the password tool will not show any hit.
Yes, I see that now on iPad. I don't know whether there is a plan to add that.

But it's already there. The feature exists on Firefox Windows and works fine, it just seems to be broken on IOS.
