Hi

should I be worried about other software being able to access the Firefox stored passwords ?

been reading about it and mentions setting the master password which is on the Security tab

any opinions ?

thanks

They're unencrypted unless you enable the master password. I would encrypt. The password only has to be entered once during start-up of FF.

KIA - thanks - got to help hasnt it

yeah but cookies dont have passwords stolen and only the site that created the cookie can read it

mind you they are only text files so some software outside the browser could have a look ?


we are not safe !!!!!!
