Guys.. if you use Firefox, do this

[Ewan]

Well... I was bored so looking through Firefox's options I came upon something quite disturbing.

Go to Tools -> Options -> Security
Then click "Show Passwords" then "Show Passwords".


Yup, that's right... anyone with access to your computer can have a look at any passwords for sites that you've told Firefox to remember the password for.


Thankfully, there's a way to get rid of what, in my opinion, is a huge security flaw: Just tick the "Use master password" button, and then you can put in a password that must be entered to view this list.

FarScape, not really paranoia.

Anyhow, I'm glad I've always used Master password.

This is old..

I am the only one using this computer, but I assumed Firefox kept it separated from different accounts on your computer.

Yeah it does, but I occasionally let my housemates use my PC and vice-versa. It's not that I don't trust them with stuff like banking passwords. But I don't really trust what they'd do when drunk if they knew my Facebook password or something.

the only thing i dont like about master password is that you have to enter it to USE a stored password

THIS is why there's a warning not to save form information on COMPUTERS THAT OTHER PEOPLE USE. Get it?
