Its just the browser's normal 'save password' thing, but now with great UI for managing saved logins.

E2E encrypted with your Mozilla account password. If you forget your password and lose/reset every device that you have firefox installed on, you will lose the database. The firefox lockwise app is a login db replicator/ui for devices you don't want a full FF install on.

I've been using it for years since, again, its just the normal save password function that's existed for decades. Completely frictionless experience. The UI, accessible through the menu or about:logins, has options now to manually add/edit/copy logins. And it suggests auto generated random passwords when creating new accounts.

It also pairs with an app called Lockwise now! It means you can generate passwords and even auto-fill them in other native mobile apps these days. At least I can fairly easily on Android. Found it much easier for my luddite to be comfortable adopting over things like LastPass/OnePass.
