Question

I don't like to give away my email passwords. When I set up a sync account, must I show the existing password for my email account?

Community Answer

No. Your email@account is just used as ID, but you should, of course, use a different password, because you're not logging in to your email.

Is it necessary to create a Firefox account?

Community Answer

No. A Firefox account is only required for Mozilla Services that require authentication, such as Firefox Sync and advanced features on Firefox Marketplace, like purchasing paid apps, adding app reviews, etc.
