Starting with Firefox 70 and later, Mozilla will make available a new feature that will notify you if any of your saved codes has been leaked and is circulating on the internet. This will be done through a partnership between the company and the website - service Have I Been Pwned.
Mozilla has started to slowly integrate the independent service into Firefox and the new password manager access Firefox Lockwise. Mozilla is also reportedly considering other premium services based on these characteristics in the future.
To do this integration, Firefox will scan all the saved logins and passwords you use, so it can compare them to Have I Been Pwned's database of leaked data. So if something is found, Firefox will notify you asking you to change code access.
When a violation is detected, Mozilla will add a notification next to the profile of your Firefox Lockwise account as shown in the mockup below provided by the company.
Mozilla will also plan to display statistics on the percentage of breaches associated with the codes you use. This protection report may be available at: about protections.
All of the above sounds very interesting. But the new privacy and security capabilities that Mozilla is preparing for the upcoming Firefox 70, they are most likely not ready in time.
Additionally, as we know from the past, Mozilla can advertise various new features, but their wording and functionality may change as they grow.
