Over time, manually entered data can become messy or duplicated. This simple script aims to read a local copy of your Firefox Lockwise passwords in order to generate a report on bad data. At the time of creation, Firefox does not support re-importing a modified version of the Firefox export, so this report performs read-only operations. Your data is not manipulated or cleaned automatically, but you can use the results to perform manual cleanup in your Lockwise vault.
To use the script, export your Lockwise password .csv, drop the file in either Downloads, Desktop or the same directory as the dedupe.py script, and run.
