Why/User Benefit/User Problem

Unlike Lockwise in desktop Firefox, the Lockwise for Android app does not present an option of a secure random password.

Acceptance Criteria (how do I know when I’m done?)

When a user adds a new account to their Lockwise app or when registering for a new account online, the app provides a random secure password.

Not included

Bitwarden has this feature in their app, so I installed it just to generate passwords, but still using Lockwise which has features we would have to pay for in Bitwarden.

Strongly agree,
a password manager should offer the user an option to generate a secure password "on demand",
this feature is missing from android and firefox addon.

The Addon is able to generate password for a "new account",
but for example regenerating a password for an existing account - that is not straight forwardly performed,
not via "right click" on a password field -> only allowing one to use an existing password for the website,
and not via the "about:logins" view allows only to edit and copy existing passwords - no "generate new secure pass".

This is a very promising "security feature" - making the utilization of password managers more common by users,
making "best practices" of data-security more attainable for all users in their daily activities,
especially via the huge mozilla/firefox platforms.

Is the proper way to discuss the feature of password generation on demand is done in github or via https://bugzilla.mozilla.org?
It's not easy to find the original feature request to incorporate the enhancment for all loackwise products - addon, android, ios, etc.

Thank you,
Elia.
