It should be noted that if you were able to compromise the OS login credentials you also have access to most browser password managers, and as a feature many 3rd party managers also let you unlock with the user password… so in this case those are compromised too.
- MonaroVXR 5y agoBitwarden needs to be unlocked after your browser is being closed. It's the stock setting.
- arpa 5y agoFirefox uses a master password for its password store and stores them in own encrypted sqlite database. Chrome stores them using system keyring, which is ok in linux, not so fine in windows.
- Swannie 5y agoBut Firefox doesn't require the password on reboot - or to even access the plaintext password in the password manager! So just fire it up, and access the passwords. The on disk encryption is pretty redundant.
- arpa 5y agoWe must have been using different firefoxes, as I have to enter my master password quite often (even after locked screen).
