• How can I trust firefox password manager

  Firefox password manager is safe? Can you give us some information about it? Focus mainly on: how is it difficult to crack passwords on firefox password manager to a hacker? How our data is stored, i.e. the type of encryption, both in my computer and your server?

  The names and passwords stored in logins.json is encrypted with an encryption key that is stored in the file signons3.txt.
  The master password adds an extra level to this encryption.
  If you do not use a master password, then having access to key3db and logins.json is not enough to have access to the encrypted names and passwords by placing the two files in one Firefox profile folder.
  Make sure to use a password is strong enough, for example at least 10 or 12 characters and a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols that can be found via a dictionary search for combining words and you should be safe.

• How can I find my password when password manager won't let me use Thunderbird?

  I tried to add a new e-mail account. Once I had done that, even if she does not recognize the password to complete the process. Now Thunderbird will let me delete this account.

• Whenever I update FireFox all my usernames and passwords vanish in password manager

  For several updates recent Firefox all my usernames and passwords (stored in password manager) disappear. I was able to recover them by exchanging one or more of the three files to a previous version ('Key3db', 'Logins.json' and 'Prefs.js') until this WHAT THE LAST THREE OR FOUR updates. This patch no longer works and I hesitate so far. I would like to know... a) this bug has been fixed?
  (b) if it is not, how can I keep my ID & password somewhere else so I can quickly re - install, or at least see them in a list so I can manually copy all back in?
  (c) how to prevent a pop-up annoying telling me to update to FireFox (other than by the update)?

  I used FireFox with happiness for many years, but this problem is very annoying and I am looking to change (with great reluctance) to another browser if an other update loses all usernames and passwords, and I have to re - install an older version to get back them.
  Please help if you can - and thank you for considering this issue.

• Password Manager won't save the username

  Sometimes, the password manager does not save the username, but just the password. A way to insert the username, or forcing the Manager to save it? I have experimented with this and are unable to save the user name.

  It might be 5% of my password sites. Could not get an any of them to work right. They are all different types of sites.

  Thank you

  You can try the 'saved Password Editor' found on the page modules. I find it rather useful myself.

     B.R.
  

  PS:
  Sorry I don't have the web address on the top of my head right now, but you can find it by going to Manager modules - tools > Add-ons - and type 'Saved password editor' in the search bar.

• Lost password manager

  My firefox site was slow and a warning has come to suggesting that I re - install. I checked and it said that all passwords would be saved.

  Did you reset Firefox and create a new profile?

  When you reset Firefox and a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, data form) are automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved on the desktop to a folder "Old data Firefox".
  Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, Pref.) that you have made are lost and must be redone.

  It is possible to retrieve the data from the old profile, but be careful not to copy the files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

  You would copy the signons.sqlite and key3db files in the folder "Old data Firefox" in the current Firefox profile folder.
  Note that Firefox 32 and later will use logins.json instead of signons.sqlite.

• Is it possible to have access to the code for default password manager?

  As an add-on it developer I am able to access the 'open source' code? If yes where can I ask? In particular, I would like to see the code that retrieves the user name and password and returns it to the password manager. If it has unlimited access, I would like to know where to go.

  You can see all the code in Firefox via the site Web of MXR, but only the latest versions of all the branches and not for these 13 Firefox an old version that you are currently running.

• How can I configure mobile android password manager copy all of my passwords from firefox to my office?

  How can I configure my new mobile password manager for my android phone copy all of my passwords from firefox to my office?
  Right now, I noticed there is only about 8 passwords listed.
  But my office saved password manager has about 50 listed.
  This makes me think that the android app is to choose only to remember what I saved directly with my android. I want to capture all my saved passwords from my desktop also.
  I tried recheck my firefox sync options, but only confirmed that I don't have this game automatically synchronize all my data (including passwords.)

  I found that I have to press the 'Menu' (three horizontal lines in a square) in the mobile view and connect until I'm able to meet Firefox on Android.

  Now that you're on your desktop: try passwords uncheck in synchronization preferences, wait a few seconds, then check again. Then on your phone, the settings of the open Android app, accounts & sync, choose your Firefox Sync account, then Menu > sync now.

• Impossible to disable password manager

  I go into Options/Security and disable 'Remember passwords for sites ". Later, when I visit a site that requires a password, the password manager asks if I want to save the password. If I come back in the options, I find that "Remember passwords for sites" has been rekindled. It happens several times.

  Perhaps the relevant facts are:

  • I use LastPass.
  • I also use FastAccess, but 'Internet connection' is disabled.

  Any ideas?

  It turns out be lack of Fast Access. I had turned off its feature "Internet connection" in the quick access application, but this is a not disable its complement in Firefox. I manually disabled the add-in and that seems to have solved the problem. I'll inform the fast access of the problem.

  Thanks for the help (and the 'method').

• Is there a way to disable the password manager in FF8, so he will not ask a master password

  I like to keep the available (for some Web sites registered) password manager, but he don't want active all the time. When I opened a Web site, FF asks "master password for security". Most of the time, I simply cancel the request, but I'd rather not have to go through this step. The default value can be set to not ask?

  You can enable or disable the passwords to remember for sites by triggering during the time you want to use password manager and allow it only if you need to connect to a Web site.
  
  I do it with a toolbar button in the toolbar of the PrefBar I use (signon.rememberSignons).
