Some thoughts:&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; if there isn&amp;#x27;t a Chrome plugin, it&amp;#x27;s not going to be of much use to me&lt;p&gt;Working on it! We have to get the webextension working in Firefox first, then we&amp;#x27;ll branch out to other browsers. (Contributors welcome, btw: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;mozilla-lockbox&amp;#x2F;lockbox-addon&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;mozilla-lockbox&amp;#x2F;lockbox-addon&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; I still use Chrome on my laptop (for a multitude of reasons) and if Lockbox doesn&amp;#x27;t interoperate with it, it&amp;#x27;s not a useful tool.&lt;p&gt;Well, you can import Chrome passwords into Firefox pretty easily, and set up Firefox Sync, and then you&amp;#x27;ve got all your (Chrome) desktop logins on mobile. Not ideal, but works.&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; I don&amp;#x27;t want to switch to a product that&amp;#x27;s only going to be retired in a year&lt;p&gt;Sure, I &lt;i&gt;definitely&lt;/i&gt; understand. I&amp;#x27;ve personally worked on Persona, FxOS, Test Pilot, and Screenshots (and now Lockbox). IMO Mozilla has gotten steadily better at shipping new products, and once we get Lockbox integrated into desktop, it&amp;#x27;ll have really good chances of long-term survival.&lt;p&gt;Besides, any new startup might go away; at least with Mozilla products, you can be sure we aren&amp;#x27;t going to do anything sketchy with your data.&lt;p&gt;Finally, I&amp;#x27;ll point out that, if you try Lockbox, it&amp;#x27;ll give Mozilla&amp;#x27;s management good signals that they should keep investing in Lockbox :-)</text></comment>

However, I have no actual knowledge of the Lockbox team&amp;#x27;s roadmap. Just seems reasonable. :-)&lt;p&gt;Heck, all the APIs (and repos) are open, so someone sufficiently motivated could build that right now.</text></comment>
