Do browsers sync these yet? I know Chrome, Firefox et al. have various syncing options, but I've never looked into how they work exactly.
Edit: looked into it, and the situation for password sync is
- Chrome: built in since V. 11
- Firefox: available through add-ons/extensions (XMarks)
- Opera: since beta 11.5 (the latest as of right now)
- Safari: available through extensions/other services (mobileme? not sure)
- IE: unclear
- sid0 15y agoFirefox 4 and up have built-in password syncing (along with bookmarks, history etc). Everything's encrypted client-side, so you never have to worry about unauthorized access to them.
- code_duck 15y agoThanks, interesting that this didn't show up in my brief research.
