• I've set up a master password and for some reason its not recognize and cannot enter the e-mail and job site. I tried to delete it, but can not. Help

  I tried to take out additional coverage on the internet with a master password. Unfortunately what I typed to the origin is not excluded or recognized. This causes me a major problem due to one of the sites I use for work being blocked, as well as my original e-mail. How can I solve this problem? I tried to turn it off, but it requires the correct password and it does not work. Don't know what happened or if I typed a wrong typo. Can you help me on your end?

  Firefox master password feature protects your saved passwords. However, even if you are unable to access your saved passwords, you should be able to connect to the site manually (by typing your user name and password). Is that somehow have blocked as well?

  If you have forgotten your master password, you can delete and create a new. However, I think that will also erase all your saved connections and you will save them again. More information on this: reset your master password if you forget.

  If the problem is not with the Firefox built-in password manager but another (add-on, the external program), then steps would be different, but they depend on what you use.

• I want to change password if ex is unable to read the messages without using Master passworde

  Follow-up of your card. Try to change the previous password of xxxxxxxx to something my wife doesn't know. Has been advised to do so because of the coming divorce proceedings. Don't want to punch in a master password everytime I open Thunderberg. Can I change my password and how. I've been here a while try and it does not say how. Thank you

  The master password in Thunderbird protects passwords stored in Thunderbird. It prevents anyone from reading mail already downloaded on your computer.
  FYI: this is a public forum and view passwords lets everyone with your wife know what it is. Not very smart.

• Request master password at random times

  request password to master at first, with just enough delay to be annoying, then seemingly random times asking once again, if you just cancel firefox continues to be merrily along, a feature really annoying

  This can also occur if you use the synchronization.

  The synchronization used in Firefox 34 version then use password manager to store the name (e-mail) and password to use to connect to the synchronization server.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

  • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

• 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.

• I have the two Master Sync activated WITHOUT be asked for master password said at the start of the session and password?

  The basic question is that whenever I start Firefox, I am invited, a few seconds later, my master password, regardless of if I will actually connect a site for which I saved my credentials.
  This same number as well as a replica of his original poster chosen as the best answer has been published on the following link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1039575

  I'm in the same situation as this poster, but I don't want to turn off sync. I need the master password set to protect my passwords stored, and I need the Sync feature enabled to share my profile between different computers that I use.
  If I close the master password prompt at the start of the session and then I go to a page that I recorded the password, I should I get prompted again, and that's all I need. Also, I've installed Sync do NOT share my passwords stored, where the master password invite so that the effect is useless in my case.

  So the question is simply how can I turn off the prompt for password at startup, have it pop up when you access a site that needs a password stored (or ask if I want to save a) and keep the clock running without sharing passwords.

  Thanks in advance.

  No, this is not possible.
  Sync must retrieve the journal of authentication data in password manager and which requires to enter the password to unlock the password.

  The synchronization used in Firefox 34 version then use password manager to store the name (e-mail) and password to use to connect to the synchronization server.
  The chrome://FirefoxAccounts entry in the Password Manager stores (kA and kB) credentials in JSON format.
  Earlier versions of Firefox used to store these data in the signedInUser.json file in the profile folder, but the current version only stores the sessionToken in this file and must the Manager password for the credentials of the synchronization.

• Questions of master password and thunderbird

  I just discovered that in thunderbird, the saved passwords are easy to see if you know where to look. I don't like this idea even if I'm the only user, so I want to have an additional password it but before I do I have a few questions so I hope someone can answer.

  -I only use Thunderbird but not firefox. Now, I don't think it's a problem, but he says you must complete for each session. The fact that average each time I start up Thunderbird?

  -When, in the worst case, I forgot my master password and will require an adjustment (is this possible in other browsers?) will be it delete all my boxes + Thunderbird mail or are only passwords saved in the list? I regularly make back ups of my mail but I forgot, I don't want all my mail to go poof when I forgot the master password.

  The password protects the account passwords that you told Thunderbird to remember. It does not protect the content of the profile.

  If this answers your question please mark the thread as "resolved".
  Thank you.

• I tried to reset my master password and I was told it has been reset, but nothing was told that it has been reset, which is not good at all.

  I followed the instructions in the HELP section, reset the password. Tried to use the email once again, I was told it is the failure of the connection. I tried two passwords I thought that would work; None of them have. So now, I don't know what is the new master password. I don't even know if I can RECEIVE emails. If someone answers it, you can send the answer to two addresses? Mine is [email protected]. The other, in which case I can not mail there, is [email protected]. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

• Firefox ask you useless master password every time you start

  When he started, Firefox asks unnecessarily my master password every time. My homepage (Google Finance) does not require a password. This occurs in SafeMode as well. It's annoying and time consuming. I X-out the main 10 seconds password request window after I start Firefox. Why would he do that? ... Firefox not used to do this.

  You use Sync?

  The synchronization used in Firefox 34 version then use password manager to store the name (e-mail) and password to use to connect to the synchronization server.

  Earlier versions of Firefox used to store these data in the signedInUser.json file in the profile folder, but the current version only stores the sessionToken in this folder and need the password for the password manager.

• Setting master password. Confused.

  People,

  I'll put it out there:
  "Master password"

  I read that it is desirable to have one, for if a person / thing to access your stored passwords.

  Granted.

  If you define a "master password".

  So I load FF and one of my web pages is "pinned" - my g-mail account.

  I also have the 'usage meter"showing me how much of my monthly allowance I used.

  Loading the page of g-mail.
  The netusage doesn't.

  So I RMB on it and say "update its use" and I am asked to enter the "master password", enter it and the gauge is updated.

  But to me, you can ask the question:
  How to load the page g-mail if passwords are locked by the master?

  OK, maybe the cookies, but I just want to put out there coz I'm obviously missing something.

  Thanks in advance.

  Details such as websites to remember you (automatically log you) are stored in a cookie.

  You must either disconnect manually before closing Firefox or disable cookies from Google (Gmail).
  Note that if you leave tabs open that restore the Session can save these cookies as part of the data session, so leave the cookies expire when you close Firefox does not work.

• security breach critical firefox? does not require master password

  I put with a master password in firefox. When I start the computer and firefox, it opens the browser to the way I saved him when I stopped. This includes the sites that require passwords. They all open with no password request. Then randomly at a time later asked me the master password. Shouldn't it ask the password first, before opening protected sites?

  It's a little complicated.

  If you allow sites to set persistent cookies to keep you logged between sessions, Firefox never needs to use your password saved; you are already on each visit to both Firefox keeps the cookie (weeks, months or years depending on what the site specified).

  Alternatively, if you limit the sites to the definition of session cookies, after you close Firefox, these cookies are normally deleted. But there is an exception for the windows and tabs you left pending.

  When you restore a previous session, Firefox reverts this session cookies, including those you kept connected sites. Secure sites (HTTPS) are treated differently depending on when you restore your session:

  • When Firefox is set to start automatically with windows and tabs: secure session cookies are maintained and restored. Your registered username is unnecessary and not used.
  • When Firefox is set to start at the top with a home page, and you have the ability to restore your previous session manually: secure session cookies are ignored. You will need to identify yourself again.

  So, if (1) allow you sites to set persistent cookies, or (2) have set to restore your previous session of Firefox, and you do not close the session, it would be normal that no logon is required when revisiting the secured sites.

  To make sure that this does not happen, you have a few different options:

  (1) use only session cookies AND change some hidden settings to ensure that they are not saved when your session is restored; or

  (2) delete all cookies at the stop.

  I can list for those steps if you are interested.

• Firefox prompts you to enter the master password so that there is no form on the page

  I open Firefox and visit: http://twitter.com/astro_paolo
  Although there is no form on this page, Firefox invites me to enter my master password

  A quick glance at the page source shows that there is a hidden login form (left:-9999px ;) on this page.)
