</figure><br><br>This blog post will show you how <em>Firefox Monitor</em> can be used to check for historical breaches (dating back to 2007) and how it can be used as a warning system for future ones.</div><div><em><br>Firefox Monitor</em> was officially released on September 25, 2018 after going through various refinements since June of the same year. The service is a partnership with <em>Have I Been Pwned?</em> (<em>HIBP</em>), an established grandmaster of data breech detection. <em>Have I Been Pwned?</em> provides the data with which the service checks for potential breaches, past and present. Troy Hunt, the security expert behind <em>Have I Been Pwned?</em>, explains why he partnered with <em>Mozilla</em> (<em>Firefox Monitor</em>) in his blog post "<a href="https://www.troyhunt.com/were-baking-have-i-been-pwned-into-firefox-and-1password/">We're Baking Have I Been Pwned into Firefox and 1Password</a>" <em>TroyHunt.com</em> (26 June, 2018). In brief, the hope is that with <em>Firefox's</em> "install base of hundreds of millions of people" the service can offer protection to a greater number of people.</div><div><br>So how does this all work? It's simple - the user can insert an email address and run a search to check for any data breaches since 2007 that may have compromised that email login. If you have a <em>Firefox</em> account you can also sign up to'breach alerts' for multiple email accounts so that you receive real time warnings once a breach is declared. The breach warnings provide information on what data may have been compromised: for example password and bank account details. Armed with this knowledge you have a head-start on the hackers - to change your personal details to prevent your data being abused.</div><div><br>It is also possible to view the complete list of data breaches by company - so if you're curious you can search the data and see who, when and what was compromised. <em>Firefox Monitor</em> also provides security tips and information about hacking, how to mitigate the threat and what to do after a data breach. All in all <em>Firefox Monitor</em> is a great tool for protecting your data and identity online.</div><div><br>If you are interested to know more on how <em>Firefox Monitor</em> came about and where its future may be heading we would highly recommend reading Matt Grimes' blog post "<a href="https://medium.com/@mgrimes/the-road-to-firefox-monitor-7c342c54bf27">The Road to Firefox Monitor</a>" Medium (September 25, 2018). </div><div><br>My <em>Bit-By-Bit</em> guide to using <em>Firefox Monitor</em> follows…<br><br><br></div><h1>Bit-By-Bit</h1><div><br>The <em>Firefox Mozilla</em> service can be accessed by a desktop or mobile device at <a href="https://monitor.firefox.com/">https://monitor.firefox.com</a>. If you are using the <em>Firefox</em> browser and logged into your <em>Firefox</em> account then you click on your profile picture in top right hand corner of the browser to access <em>Firefox Monitor</em> under the list of <em>Firefox Services</em>.</div><div><br></div><h1>Not Signed In</h1><div><em><br>Firefox Monitor</em> provides a lot of functionality even if you do not sign-up/sign-in to a <em>Firefox</em> account.<br><br> <figure class="attachment attachment--preview attachment--lightboxable attachment--png">

</figure><br><br>Originally branded as <em>LockBox</em> in 2018, on May 21 2019 the service was renamed as <em>Lockwise</em> (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1547323">Bugzilla</a>). Initially a browser add-on needed to be installed to use <em>Lockwise</em> on the desktop, but since <em>Firefox</em> version 70, the service has been fully integrated into the <em>Firefox</em> browser (<a href="https://www.theregister.com/2019/10/22/firefox_70/">Celebrate Firefox 70’s</a>) and can now be accessed using the <strong>Login and Passwords</strong> link from the options menu or user account area.<br><br>Since <em>Firefox</em> version 76, <em>Lockwise</em> was integrated further with <em>Firefox Monitor</em> and now if one of your site login passwords has been breached, a breach alert will appear on the <em>Lockwise</em> page next to any saved login service or website that have been compromised. A vulnerable password alert will be displayed if any other saved passwords are similar to any that have been breached in the past with a recommendation to change it (<a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/76.0/releasenotes/">Firefox Release Notes 76.0</a>).<br><br>When you use the <em>Firefox</em> browser and come across a website that requires you to sign-up for an account and create a password, the <em>Firefox Lockwise</em> service uses its integrated random password generator to suggest a password. It is possible to dismiss the randomised password and create your own if preferred.<br><br>So long as you are signed in to your <em>Firefox</em> account on all devices, passwords saved through the <em>Firefox</em> browser on either the desktop, a smart phone or a tablet are stored securely in <em>Firefox Lockwise</em> and then synced across to any device you are signed in to with <em>Firefox</em>. <em>Mozilla</em> confirms on its website that the <em>Lockwise</em> service uses 256-bit encryption to sync passwords between devices. For more details on Lockwise and privacy read the support documentation on how <em>Lockwise</em> handles your data (<a href="https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-lockwise-and-privacy">Firefox Lockwise and Privacy</a>).<br><br>It is possible to unlock <em>Lockwise</em> to view all your saved logins, and manage/delete these. To unlock the <em>Lockwise</em> app on <em>Android</em> and <em>iOS</em>, face identification or touch identification is required, offering an additional layer of protection.<br><br>My Bit-By-Bit guide to using <em>Firefox Lockwise</em> shows how all of this works…<br><br><br></div><h1>Bit-By-Bit</h1><div><br>The <a href="https://lockwise.firefox.com">https://lockwise.firefox.com</a> URL introduces the <em>Firefox Lockwise</em> service and includes links to download the desktop browser and the dedicated <em>Lockwise</em> apps for both Android and iOS.<br><br><br></div><h1>Using Lockwise with the Desktop Firefox Browser</h1><div><br>To use <em>Firefox Lockwise</em> you need to have a <em>Firefox</em> account and be logged in. If you don’t have an account then you can join here: <a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/accounts/">https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/accounts/</a>.<br><br>When you have an account setup, open <em>Firefox</em> and login through the user account area in the top right of the <em>Firefox</em> browser. We’re now ready to use <em>Lockwise</em>!<br><br>Each time we sign-up to a new service online and we’re asked to create a password, <em>Firefox Lockwise</em> kicks in and in most cases will suggest a randomised password.<br><br> <figure class="attachment attachment--preview attachment--lightboxable attachment--png">
