• After you type the master password in session can force type master password once again without ending the current session and start new session?

  Sometimes after using the password to access an account during a given session of firefox, I want to "repeal" this ability of automatic access (i.e. require type the password again once) without having to put an end to the current session and restart firefox.

  It's nice to only have to type the password once per session, there are times when after launching an action that I would let the browser unattended for a short period but to prevent others to access sensitive information on other sites if they can't my master password. Note that this is not the same thing as "locking the browser. Currently, the only way I know to force it is to kill the session and restart the browser but it's not very satisfying if I really want to stay connected (allowed) to a particular site. I hope that adding a button in the Security tab "requires the master password for the current session" would be a simple solution to implement? Thank you for your attention.

  You can connect from the software security device (e.g. click Cancel in the dialog box display the passwords) to force them to return to the MP once more.

• in Outlook Express, how can I send the same message to a group important (in the address book already), but have to each recipient can only see his name (not the Group)

  In Outlook Express, how can I send the same message to the large group (already in the address book), but have to each recipient can only see his name (not the Group)?

  To use the functionality of the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy), in a new message window, click View | All headers and type the addresses separated by a; Or: Click the button to. You will see your list of contacts and the choice to put them in the To, CC, or BCC field. Click on an address, and then click BCC to add it. Repeat for all of the contacts you want. (Note: most of the providers have limits as to how many messages you can send both a. 25 is common, but it varies).

  Put your own address in the box to. That's the only name/address that any recipient will see. If you leave the field empty, some people may not receive e-mail because of message rules they put in place, or restrictions imposed by their ISP.

  You can also make an entry in the address book using your e-mail address, but put something like the mailing list in the area of the display.

  *********************

  You can also create groups if you send e-mail to the same people often.

  To create a group of contacts:

  You can create a single group name (or alias) to use when sending a message to several contacts at the same time. Just create a group name and add individual contacts to the group. Then just type the name of the group in the box for when you send mail.

  1. in the address book, select the folder in which you want to create a group. Click New in the toolbar, and then click New Group.
  2. the Properties dialog box opens. In the group name box, type the name of the group.
  3. There are several ways to add people to the Group:
  a. to add a person from your address book list, click Select members, and then click a name in the address book list.
  (b) to add a person directly to the group without adding the name to your address book, type the person's name and e-mail address at the bottom of the Properties dialog box and then click Add.
  to add a person to both the Group and your address book, click New Contact and enter the appropriate information.
  (d) to use a directory service, click Select members, and then click search. Select a directory service in the drop-down list at the end of the text box. After finding and selecting an address, it is automatically added to your address book.
  4. Repeat for each addition until your group is defined.

  Note

  a. to view a list of your groups separately from the list of address book in the address book on the view menu, make sure that folders and groups is selected.
   
  b. you can create multiple groups, and contacts can belong to several groups.

  If you want to send to a group without addresses are displayed for each recipient, open the address book and make a new entry. Enter the name of the group in the area of the display, but use your address. (Some Internet service providers require a legitimate address in the line to and recipients will know it's from the Group).

  Click on the button to. Enter the name of the group using your address. Enter the group in the BCC field.

• Why do I see all of my passwords without the master-password with database synchronized with the PC who lit master-password?

  I use Firefox with Firefox Sync on different PCs and master password is set early when I started to use Firefox.

  Today, I installed Firefox for Android, allowed in Firefox Sync, open the Connections tab, "Show password" button waiting for my master password entry form and... I saw my password. And all the others.

  The password has never been typed on the keyboard of the Android. Firefox has never been installed on the phone before. How is that possible? Firefox stores my master-password in the web? It is very very bad. Now, those who steal my sync account can see all my passwords even without the master-password.

  Firefox for Android has no knowledge of the master password set up on your desktop Firefox. By pressing the button display the password displays the passwords.

  If you don't want to use a master password in Firefox for Android, you can implement that. Click the 3 menu point in the upper right corner, select settings, select privacy, select password main use and then choose a password.

  Passwords are encrypted before sending them to the service using your password synchronization Sync Mozilla's. The only data that Mozilla's Sync is fully encrypted and Mozilla or another party cannot decipher. When you connect to the synchronization of the encrypted passwords are downloaded and decrypted locally.

  If you want the details there is a ton of documentation to https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-auth-server#firefox-accounts-server follow the links several first for depth in explanation of the service.

• Thunderbird 38.0.1 requires the master password to be entered twice after activation of Gmail OAuth

  I have a Gmail (IMAP) and an iCloud (IMAP) TB account protected by a master password. Since the upgrade to to 38.0.1 and the configuration of the acct of Gmail for OAuth I find that when I run the application of TB he invites me for the password twice before that I can move forward. I tried to remove the iCloud acct and then he needed only the password entered once, but as soon as I have readded the iCloud acct invites more twice once for the password. It seems that you must now enter once for each account e-mail instead of after the period. It seems to be triggered by changing the Gmail to OAuth as previously he worked as documented (a single master password entry) with two e-mail accounts.

  In fact, when launching first TB appears very briefly the form of drop down menu of master password and then immediately disappears (before), because then he slide down again to allow the first entry in the master password.

  Good news - updated my Mac to 38.1 TB newly released solved the problem of the Thunderbird menu corrupted when you use StartupMaster 1.6.1.

  Now I can use StartupMaster successfully to bypass the password multiple guest problem (bug #177175) at the launch of Thunderbird.

• Disable the master password popup

  Hi, this has always been a problem with FF. I share my PC. My partner has a master password. I don't. However whenever I use Firefox asks me the master password, and this repeats (times) everytime I open a tab for a site on which a defined password there. I have my own accounts and know my passwords. I don't want a master password and do not want to access its accounts. How can I cancel the application of the MP and just use firefox withouth the face with that annoying Member pop - up every few minutes! Its driving me crazy. Please save me. Thank you

  This has happened

  Each time Firefox opened

  == to always

  The only way to avoid the pop-up master password if you use two (all) the same profile is to disable the password manager.
  Tools > Options > Security: passwords: "remember passwords for sites".
  ---
  You must create a separate profile for each of you.

  See:
  http://KB.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows
  http://KB.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile ('Shortcut on the desktop')
  ---
  If you need to have several open profiles at the same time then start the following instances with the - no - remote line switch.
  You can send links from other programs to an instance of Firefox is launched with a - no.-remote, you must drag the links in a Firefox window in such cases.

• Enter the master password window continues to appear

  Everytime I open Thunderbird window asking for my email password keeps popping up. It has no effect, however. I can just close and continue to receive my emails. It's just annoying powerful.

  The password is for the Google Contacts. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1064153

  The developer may have abandoned the add-on to Google Contacts. Probably not so there an update anytime soon. I would be so disable the add-in in the Add-ons Manager for now to avoid the password invite you in the first place.

• Am unable to use the master password, when I try to add the 'OK' button will not highlight or save it.

  I recently uninstalled then reinstalled Firefox but now can't use the master password. The 'OK' button will not activate, won't save password.

  It is possible that there is a problem with key3db and signons.sqlite files that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox.
  
  In the Firefox profile folder, rename the files key3db and signons.sqlite.
  
  You can add .old files (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) names or move them to another folder to make it possible to cancel the action.
  
  You must define a new master password after renaming or removing the signons3.txt and all the currently saved passwords are lost.
  
  If that worked, then you can delete the renamed files that are no longer needed.

• The new synchronization process and the master password do not mix

  Article why I can't sync my passwords? _{linkified ~ J99} says that the password inhibits synchronization, which explains why the "password sync" option is grayed out, if the password is used. Then to syncv passwords that must disable the master password, i.e. by train to "empty".

  What speaks against the following:

  1. disable the password and let synchronization collect existing passwords
  2. activate the password
  3. do this on all the devices of interest

  Finally, all devices should have 'more or less' synchronized passwords, while benefiting from the security provided by their main password. "Roughly", because the above procedure consecutively for devices A, B, C ends with B having a synchronized set passwords of A and B and C the game, containing people with disabilities of A synchronization, B and C (which is all of the passwords in the cloud). Given the fact we do not change passwords too often, so this shouldn't be a big problem. We can, for instance recovery procedure above for A at the end of the round.

  Does make sense?

  https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=995268#C58

  "The problem of this bug is on the fact that we are no longer synchronized passwords if you have master-password enabled. We realize this is a significant limitation and we are working on a solution to bring things back to parity with the synchronization of the former. We do not take this issue seriously, and certainly, the challenge will be to store the credentials FxA in connection manager, so protected by the master-password as are other passwords. »
