armadaender Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Sparda, I'm not familar with how FF saves the passwords in it's manager but couldn't this also be used for something like the U3 switchblade to capture even more passwords?

Sparda Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Not if you set a master password, firefox will then encypte all the passwords stored using the master password as a key. Just to clarifie, Firefox encyptes the stored passwords any way, but with out using a master password it becomes trvial for an attacker to get the passwords (copy the firefox profile and retrive them later).
