  Hi Ned,.

  You could well be right.  Same good software can corrupt to be on the system for some time.

  If you can open the software at all, Please do an export of your webcards before you reinstall / repair software SimplePass.

  Export the Webcard database:

  If you have working software SimplePass, export your Webcards before proceeding.  In the case where you must remove the SimplePass software, your webcard backup can be used (imported) to restore your Web site login information.

  Start SimplePass > parameters > export NOTE: file will be called *.tsd

• The master password dialog box is not well labeled. No luck, it could be spoofed using JS and someone could then access all passwords?

  IMO, request master password dialog box is not well labeled, and its identity (and authentic) seem a little in doubt whenever it appears. It is possible that someone could be spoof using JS and I could unwittingly put my "skeleton key" to a thief? Please tell me I'll be paranoid!

  I don't think a script in an ordinary web page has the permission to read your passwords for other Web sites, even if you are not using a master password. It should be limited to see what password manager fills in the page.

  For this reason, even if a page has captured your master password, I don't think that he could use it in a harmful way. But I'm maybe not quite devious.

• Master password is requested several times

  I install Thunderbird to work with four (4) email accounts. Clean install. I then added a master password. Now when I run Thunderbird he asks after four (4) master password, but should ask only once.

  It generates all four windows asking the password at the same time at startup. All emails are using IMAP. Two gmail, others are of the other provider. 8.1 Windows x 64. I found that this does not happen if in any account mail settings I untick "check new messages at startup '.

  Thanks, but the add-on third party for security thingy doesn't sound so sure. I guess it's Thunderbird bug and I hope it will be fixed. For now I'll stay with unchecked "check for new messages at startup '.

• 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.

• 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.

  Hi Will,

  Using Firefox Sync?

  In order to secure your login information from synchronization, you must unlock your master password before that Firefox can synchronize.

• I've never set up a master password for firefox. Somehow the browser locked mode, now and request a master password. How can I get it to unlock?

  There is no URL line, that anything can be taken.

  Also, I have reinstalled the program as well. No change. Always default to a request for a password THAT I HAVE EVER CREATED.

  Full disclosure: I reached to reconnect cable and pressed my chest against my keyboard while the computer was in mode 'sleep', with Firefox running in background. When I was in, the browser has been locked. I tried all the passwords I know and use. No luck. Following addy won't charge, even if the entry on the home page.

  chrome://pippki/content/ResetPassword.XUL

  Yet once, no url line does open, I run the browser, more. I just get the following message:

  Please enter the master password for the software security device.

  Help! Thank you!

• 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.

• 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).

• Have you had experience with a XP application "master password", please help me if so.

  My PC used for me (sometimes still don't) asked if to remember a password for a website.  I'm sure you've been asked this too. Often, when I was ask--that he would ask several times - I saidYes for many of my Web sites.

  After a few weeks of use like this and a few sites passed. A prompt me a NEW FEATURE of Windows XP that would allow me to encrypt or make a unique password for when I wanted to, those already informed the STORED passwords, to be applied/used /-entered automatically was now available.

  So I decided I would try the functionality and create the 'master' password, if you want to call it that.
  

  Now the password doesn't work.  When I enter it in the field it just re-guest the same window, empty, as if I had done nothing.

  Sometimes pressing the button cancel will do the same.
  

  Suffice it to say this 'new', I think that this! Now it NEVER works as it should. (it occurs rarely)

  I want to disable this security feature, but can NOT find and option that will allow me to do any where within the parameters of security controls.

  IF anyone has HAD EXPERIENCE WITH THIS KEY - word of PAST PROGRAM/APPLICATION,PLEASE the HAND ME of SOME ADVICE.

• Master password prompt steals focus

  I have no problem entering my main password for each session. However, the prompt to the unpredictable times, sometimes I'm in the process of typing something else (IE a URL).
  Is there a setting anywhere to stop the guest to steal my attention so I can get the password into my own time? The default behavior is quite annoying.
  Thank you.

• Tor Browser won't let me set master password

  Tor Browser won't let me set master password

  Thank you FredMcD for your time and effort. I spent all morning going through the number of entries in the link you provided. Unfortunately, none of them could solve the problem--directly.

  However...

  I learned so much about all the obscure and esoteric settings available and how to handle that I was able to synthesize a solution intuitively:

  • First of all, I carefully removed all traces of Tor with an advanced uninstaller.
  • After reinstalling, the browser made his usual routine of Premiere and opened.
  • An information bar first time upward offered access to privacy and security.
  • I AGREED and unchecked the first box (disabling Private Browsing).
  • The program itself given running and I was able to set my master password.

  Private browsing, but also permanent Private Browsing, can be manipulated, turn it back on, then back to the convenience of the user, according to the needs of any particular situation. Note, however, that, under any form of PB, storage and use of password is removed.

  Note that I did all the steps above (and many other things) throughout my diagnosis, but only AFTER I had already started using the browser (by playing and by checking the various options), which I think automatically some of my preferences of profile defined until I could do it manually. Alternatively, it could be a bad installation in the first place (questionable), or a combination of these factors. Whatever it is, it worked.

  Regarding support in Mozilla, I am impressed by the volume and diversity of the information contained here, as well as the good Samaritans like you caring nature. However, almost all the documents that I have met is Firefox/Thunderbird-centric.

  A search for Tor showed very little data and nothing similar to my case. By its very nature, a software like Tor would naturally by default an option like private browsing. But how many people know that it kills so the ability to use passwords? Even if the Tor Project is based on the Mozilla engine, I think that the people who run the project should be implemented their own support system or lend a hand here and may not return the ball to well-intentioned donors like you and your employees.

  But in any case - problem solved, thanks to you and those who, as lend you time and advice to a complete stranger.

  Now all I have to do is to find extra time to monitor these pages so that maybe, someday, I can return the favor.

• "master password" not recognized, it is not send me an email, if I reset my master password - it will remove all my passwords on my computer or just mazilla?

  I tried several times and it does not recognize my master password. In fact, I had a similar problem with the usual password before going with the master.
  If I reset the 'master' password, I need to know that it will not erase all of my passwords where I use them as ebay, Apple, or emails. I don't want to be locked off sites or the loose them on this computer.
  When you say that it removes all, do you mean just the ones that I entered for firefox? WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT WILL REMOVE ALL? from my computer?

  CAUTION: Resetting your master password will remove all of your saved usernames and passwords.

     In the Firefox location bar, enter the following location:
     chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul
     Press Return.
     The "Reset Master Password" page will appear. Click the Reset button, to reset your master password.
  

     reset master pw fx29
  

  Yes, resetting the master password or removing signons3.txt will remove all the password stored in the password manager.
