There is a risk of password on the current design

Curerntly, everyone could see my password by clicking on "preference" - "security" - "password" - "password stored ' (I don't know the exact English name, because I use the Chinese version) -"view password", then all my passords were disclosed."
I know that I could prevent them by setting a 'master' password, but if the master password is set, I would be asked to enter it whenever I have run thunderbird, which is not what I want.
I think that it is better to add an option to allow users to define security defferent levels:
Level 1: password required when starting the client. This will prevent other people who view your emails.
Level 2: password required before displaying the stored passwords. This option allows users to view the emails freely, which is convinent for me.

Encryption requires a key. You master password is the key. Thunderbird stores not only key anywhere, so there is zero chance of the encrypted data in reverse engineered as the encryption key is simply not present. This is also exactly how Firefox works.

Your suggested approach would require the key to be stored somewhere for reverse engineering becomes a fairly simple process. Ask Microsoft how having a known key worked for the paper until about 2003 version password. They can be opened and the password worked around in about 2 seconds on a 386 computer.

As for a password manager. Netscape it built when they were writing code, well before the other specialist products you mention were never developed.
KWallet is KDE. Not a lot of use on Windows or a MAC Keyring is apparently equivalent to Gnome.

Mozilla runs on OS x, Linux and Windows. It has a password manager that works identically on all platforms. You have Linux view centered on password management is not a useful to 80 or 90 percent of the users of Thunderbird.

These guys here does not list Thunderbird or Firefox. http://www.LostPassword.com/recovery-options-Basic.htm

But of course they list a lot of software that the company would like to think was to obtain their data.

  • 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.

  • Y at - it a default password for the bios on a Compaq tc4400? Need help!

    There must be a way to remove a unknown password!  I disassembled the laptop and removed the battery cmos for 3 hours and it didn't work.  There must be an easier way.  There should be a default password for the bios of HP or Compaq?

    Welcome to Alzur.

    How to cut the power on password or bios password is easy.

    Remove the battery and power supply.

    Remove the memory cover. "On the merits".

    Remove the memory stick. "If there is."

    You should see a label and a piece of plastic tape.

    Peel off the tape and you will see CMOS_CLR1.

    Use small flat head screwdriver and make contact with the 2 copper looking contacts.

    Replace the tape in plastic, memory, memory and battery.

    Just tested it and it worked very well.

    Pavan quote seems to come from this doc/link

    http://docs.Oracle.com/database/121/DBSEG/users.htm#DBSEG573

    I would like to add quotes from two paragraphs who closely follow one who is already planned:

    All provided by Oracle administrative user accounts such as SYS and SYSTEM , are common users can navigate across the CBD. Current users may have different privileges in different PDB files. For example, the common user SYSTEM can switch between the PDB files and use the privileges granted to SYSTEM in the current PDB.

    . . .

    If you plug a PDB file that contains a current in a CBD user, then the following actions take place:

    • Common user in this PDB accounts lose usually granted privileges they may have, including the SET CONTAINER privilege.
    • If the CBD target has a common user with the same name as a current user in a PDB file newly plugged in, then the new common user is merged with the common user CBD target. The password of the current of the CBD target user is a priority.

    See that last sentence? As others and the MDC say, a common user is COMMON. Standard users SYS and SYSTEM are common users simply need a password.

    Thank you

    the error is because you have not initialized the tabular myRet variable.

    Another problem is the use of textframes.everyItem (), because that returns a different object.

    and another is what happens if a textframe is empty you will get an error on the meaning of "object has no text for find/replace.

    Here is the fixed code:

    var myRet=[]
    var myDocument=app.activeDocument;
    var tf = myDocument.pages[0].textFrames.everyItem().getElements(),
    tf1 = myDocument.pages[0].textFrames.count();
    app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "Chapter";
    for (var i = 0; i < tf1; i++){
     if (tf[i].characters.length){
    myRet=myRet.concat(tf[i].findGrep());
    }
    }
    alert(myRet)

    My wife has an i5 to 2.3 GHz MacBook Pro early 2011 and it worked like a slug.  Ran disk utility and verified that the disk needs repair using recovery HD.  What does this lead and what is the risk of losing all the data is there?

    Even if it is very slow, you must make a return upwards before the race "repair disk". The risk of data loss is minimal, but do it anyway: Save and run to repair the disk.

    As for what it implies - most of the time nothing more than simply sitting and waiting to do his thing.

    sometimes working wireless on my laptop is very slow. Our people at work said there must be a lot of people in my neighborhood picky backup me & that I need to put a password on the router. How can I do this?

    original title: addition of router password?

    The manual is expected to be online. If you have pain to find - know everyone here the brand name and model - it is likely that someone here can help more.

    Basically connect to the interface web (usually via http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1 web page with the username "admin") and change the password in the configuration / administrative to something (I suggest 15 + characters including letters - upper and lower case, numbers and symbols) and then find the wireless configuration and change the password for it to something other than the administrative password - but with the same suggestion.  If she uses WEP and you have all the relatively new devices (all purchased in the last 7 years) then I suggest change you in WPA.  If possible, replace WPA2.

    Probably there is also a place where you can see who is connected.
