Master password prompt steals focus

Similar Questions

• Firefox master password prompt appears randomly

  Whenever I open Firefox, password master prompt appears randomly in 30 seconds. Sometimes, I always sit on the home screen when I get to the command prompt.

  I tried updating Firefox, reinstall Firefox, I turned my requirement of password master on and out, rebooted the computer... nothing seems to work.

  I would like to either invite him immediately, as soon as I open my browser, or when it is really necessary, as when I open a login page. Not the current, apparently random aspect that disturbs me in the middle of browsing the web.

  This bug is so boring that it's a deal breaker for me. It is particularly annoying when I start typing something, and then the password master guest appears without warning and takes the focus of cursor with her. I have to stop what I'm doing, confront the master password prompt, and then go back to what I do.

  In the meantime, I switched to Chrome wire, which is to serve my needs very well, but I would go back to Firefox if I can solve this problem.

• 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.

• How disable pop-up master password when I don't want to connect?

  When I visit some sites like stores the master password prompt appears. But I'm just browsing, I don't want to connect at this time. But mp appears on pages again and again, so I have to click on cancel every time, it's madness! Help, please.

  You will need to disable the Manager of temporary password to prevent a pop master password - up if you visit a web page with a log-shaped and you have already registered a name and a password in the password manager.

• Cannot access my Thunderbird because of master password

  So I put a master password on my account and then now I can not connect to it because I forgot. I don't want to have to switch back to Outlook and really want to continue to use Thunderbird. I tried various solutions on the support forums, for example by changing the expression in tools, hit Cancel a couple of times but nothing. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird, deleted the AppData folder and reinstalled and still it still invites me to enter the password. Thunderbird doesn't even come to the top in the background, just the prompt to enter the master password.

  Is someone can you please tell me what I can do to fix this?

  This article shows you how to remove a forgotten password.https:// mastersupport.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/master-password
  I hope that it works even after all your "home remedies".

• Is it a master password hide saved usernames?

  I want to use Firefox for my banking info with names of user and password different than my normal accounts but I don't even want to automatically complete user names appears in or auto suggestion anywhere until I used the password. It works this way or is it possible?

  I think that they are protected as long as you did not enter the master password for the current session.

  If I try to go to Options > Security > saved passwords, Firefox asks my master password. If I cancel this prompt, I get a blank dialog box.

  On disk, the file logins.json seems to have encrypted versions of BOTH the user name and password. To view this file:

  Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various folders and files. You can scroll or search to find logins.json, which is a plain text file, but which has a provision of hard-to-read (no extra spaces or line breaks).

  EDIT: Sorry, please ignore the foreign material, which I deleted this post!

• Mail master password hidden

  Is it possible for content of messages hidden in all those who ignore the master password?
  If I don't type the password I can't download new messages, but I can read all the mail folder, and this is a problem of security nonsense.
  Why Thunderbird does not create a master password that hid everything in boxes to the letters?

  Thank you very much, Matteo.

  I answered a similar question yesterday and some of what I wrote then can apply to you also:

  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/1034630

  Specifically for the protection of the entire profile, you can find the extension useful StartupMaster:

  https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Thunderbird/addon/StartupMaster/

  It is perhaps not obvious from the description, but once installed, the first thing you see is a connection password prompt, and only when that has been entered correctly the main Thunderbird window appears.

  Keep in mind that, since it is implemented by an add-on, a user can easily circumvent the password challenge, and in all cases, your emails are stored in plain text and can be discovered by anyone by browsing your file system.

  Thunderbird developers chose not to reinvent the wheel; If you are concerned about prvacy, they assumed that the users use the tools built into the operating system; user accounts, logins, passwords and encrypted file systems.

• my master password does not work, WHY?

  I used my master password for quite awhile. Today when I put it in it does not work. HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? I saw the the way to remove it, but then I lose about 28 login and password for all my financial sites. Why the P/W does not work? AND why would you if it can FAIL. Y at - it another way around this in addition to a total deletion of all my other passwords. I tried to restart my computer a couple of times to see if it would fix itself, but nothing helped.

  Have you tried to close and restart Firefox or restart the computer to see if it have an impact?

  What security (firewall, antivirus) software do you have?

  If the MP password does not work and is not accepted if you get a prompt to connect to the software security device, then it is likely that the signons3.txt file got damaged or replaced by an older version.

• Master password does not. All I have to do is click on Cancel when it asks for the password and I go directly to the site.

  When he asks that I get the password, it is not necessary. All I have to do is click on cancel
  or the X and I quickly go to the site I want.

  Hi moentby1, I think we all say the same thing. The password has nothing to do with the use of Firefox or visit sites. He is using the Firefox Password Manager feature.

  If you don't want to use Firefox password manager, you can stop getting prompted to enter your master password by making a change in the Options dialog box.

  the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > Security

  Uncheck "Remember passwords for sites". And then click OK.

• When I go on a site that requires a connection and automatically logged, I always get invited by the Office security software for master password. New w/Firefox 24.

  If I go to a Web site that requires a login and a password, and I have it configured to automatically sign in, I am automatically logged (he remembers username and password for this site), but the command prompt of the security apparatus of software for my master password appears. I can cancel the prompt and it goes, but it should not appear because I am already connected. This problem started to happen after I downloaded Firefox 24 yesterday.

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

  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

  Note that Firefox Sync also need to enter the master password.

• Master password does not work, it's because of my script add-ons-not ghostery, flagfox, better google yandex, like adblock, privacy, WOT?

  Hello Mozilla,

  I have included the fundamental question in the previous question. I use the modules above on a browser to firefox via a macbook Intell. I also just reset my master password. I restarted firefox, connected to an online account to test, disconnected, and then reconnected again. After restart of firefox there is no prompt to enter my master password, there is a prompt asking me if I should include the word name and p of the user in the use of firefox master password. What, in your opinion is happening and how could it be solved? Of course, I would continue to use these modules.

  If you delete the file signons.sqlite and key3db and set a new master password, then it should work correctly, especially in a new profile or with all extensions disabled.

  Note that Firefox does not offer to store new passwords when you're in private browsing mode.
  
  Sometimes a problem with hardware acceleration can make stop button password via the icon key in the location bar does not.

• Master password in Firefox using Gmail

  I use Gmail first enter in my browser. My system WON'T ask me my 'master' password when I get to it. I think that my safety is compromised even if I use a regular password to access my gmail account. It is only when I open another point, like "Facebook" that I am prompted for the password. My gmail account, I can go on several Internet sites, for example, lists of TV Guide, Fox News, my two local news sites, even my weather site. Why are they not affected, but Facebook is? How can I get my main password to affect these other links of Gmail so that my security system is not compromised even using Kaspersky Internet Security with Firewall in place.

  I finally found the solution for this, and my problem was a misleading title in FIrefox. (I'm on Mac OX) This is in Firefox > Preferences > privacy, under the heading of history, there is a choice that says "use the custom settings for history". Unfortunately, I forgot it because I was looking for "Cookies" and do not think that the story was the same. Once I finally chose the choice custom history, a set of options of Cookies appeared. This has had the settings that I was looking for and was finally able to get Firefox to ask my master password BEFORE you sign in to Gmail.

• Firefox no longer accepts my master password when the browser is launched.

  When I run firefox it normally ask my master password. That's fine, I put a master password for me, but now when I go to enter it and press OK nothing happens. I have to hit Cancel at the prompt for a master password for the browser to launch. Then if I change the password that it accepts my password and I am now "connected" to the password database. I can repeat this process each time I restart the browser.

  Reset my master password with this method does not resolve the problem. Once I put a master password, yet once I have the same problem as before. The password that appears when Firefox is started does not accept my password.

  Edit: I have it solved. An add-on using the master password should be put back.
