Regarding saving password in browser, the author probably means an encrypted password manager such as KeePass or 1Password, and not the current implementation which does not have a master password
- basch 7y agoFirefox has a master password that encrypts the data. I dont use it, but doesnt a Sync account also sync the passwords between instances of your browser? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-master-password-protect-stored-logins https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-master-password-pro... That said, can you still copy the profile to a new computer and have it autofill? Physical access to data on a hard drive is often end of game, unlike cloud only hosted stuff that streams. Im guessing you cant copy a firefox profile with lastpass or 1pass or dashlane and have the new computer start autofilling without reentering the master password? Firefox also has Firefox Lockbox now for storing passwords in the cloud.
- gibspaulding 7y agoYes, Firefox Sync will sync the passwords between browser instances. It also offers the option to use a master password. I've been using it without any issues for several years now.
- dekhn 7y agochrome on linux and mac both request that I provide a master password before I can access my passwords. IIUC.
- jmkni 7y agoI've noticed Safari on iOS offering to generate a password and store it when I register for new sites recently. It works pretty well (until I'm on Windows and need the password).
- shawnz 7y agoChrome indeed also uses a master password and keeps saved passwords encrypted end to end, just like 1Password, LastPass and Firefox Sync.
