The only problem with their SSH agent is, if you store let’s say 6 keys and the server is set to accept a maximum of 5 keys before booting you, and the correct key happens to be key number 6, you can end up being IP banned.
This happened to me on my own server :P
That being said, my experience was using the very first GA release of their SSH Agent, so it’s possible the problem has been sorted by now.
Firefox is extremely easy to get your password from behind the *** if it autofills. Requires physical access, but literally takes seconds. Right click the field, inspect and change the field type from password to text.
On mobile I'm assuming. I personally don't know a way to bypass the fingerprint locks. And if you're also having Firefox create random difficult passwords, its significantly better than reusing the same one. So you're probably a much harder target than the majority of people. I'd have to double check but I think even on desktop if you have a master password for Firefox and don't just have logins auto filled you're probably good there too.

I want to suggest 1Password even though it’s not free (I used bitwarden for many years though). It has its own SSH agent which is a dream.

BitWarden is awesome. Been using it since 2 of my colleagues went to work for them
How is this better than Firefox built-in password manager?

So if my passwords are behind fingerprint there's no problem?

Thank you. I do use master password on everything. This does ease my mind a bit.
