I don't know if it's possible for iCloud's security to go any lower: https://www.xda-developers.com/icloud-windows-photos-from-st...

There is absolutely no detail or evidence provided in that article that. Literally just “some people are saying”

Biometric or password is necessary for every access (which may be an inconvenience for some).
Basically, the addon communicates with a native application on the OS (the iCloud application on Windows or the password application on macOS) so there is nothing stored in Firefox.
Currently you need to use biometric or password to access your keys.
If you use the extension will it make a copy of the passwords locally, or does it still require biometric on every password access ?
Also would be nice to have logs and see exactly which passwords re being retrieved by the add on. I know it’s apple made but still feels like an extra vector.
