#PASSWORDBOX WILLL NOT WORK WITH FIREFOX PORTABLE#
PasswordFox is a free and portable tool by Nirsoft where running it will automatically reveal all the saved passwords in Firefox together with additional information such as the user name and password field, the decrypted signons file, and even shows the password strength. We are listing 3 of such tools below that are free to use, while there are also other similar shareware that does pretty much the same thing without offering any special or unique features. There are some third party tools where it can automatically read and list all passwords saved in Firefox. Other than that, one can easily access all the saved passwords by clicking on Firefox > Options > Security tab > click on Save Passwords button and click Show Passwords button. Although the password is hidden, it can actually revealed using one of the five methods that we have posted in another article. When a password is saved in Firefox, visiting the login page will automatically fill in the login details on the form and the password is normally hidden under asterisks/bullets. Since Firefox is one of the most used web browser today, let us take a look at how safe is the password manager by trying to reveal the password saved in Firefox and also the possibility of bypassing, resetting or cracking the master password. The only question we need to ask is how secure the password manager because a hacker gaining access to your password manager is probably as bad as you using the same password. Other than convenience, a password manager also allows you to use a unique password for every different account which is so much safer. Maybe using system-cairo could cure this bug ? Anyway, I'm still seeing it.Every web browser comes with a password manager that lets you save the password that you used to login to a website so that there is no need to manually type the username and password each time you want to login.
