This is a huge security hole. I simply cannot believe that this has been implemented into Firefox as it is, and there’s a very good reason that this is not available in the other browsers.

If you’re ever going to let Firefox remember your passwords, DO set a master password! Or else anyone with access to your computer can see all your passwords. And if you’re not too big on security, he will have, or can guess, the passwords for everything else in your life.

To the developers: Think before you implement. Not every new feature is desirable…

In what file are those passwords stored? I’m trying to migrate to USB stick. Which files should I transfer so that i’ll still have saved passwords?

Now, this is an incredibly useful feature! I agree with Greyrest that some passwords are just a standard necessity to save and protect our settings and not much for the sensitivity of information inside a given account, but still I try to keep my passwords as difficult as possible to crack and use different passwords for different wished levels of protection. Although I´m pretty good at remembering which passwords go where, sometimes I get trapped inside my own system and this tool will be useful in these cases. Thanks for the tip.

My point is how often security matters on web sites. For 70% of all registrations I use the same 6 character password. Why? Because the only purpose of the password is to prevent someone from changing my settings.

I don’t value most of my information very much, so I find most logins to be more annoying than helpful, but there are many people out there who want to protect their personal information as much as possible and the web sites cater to those people in order to engender trust.

In short, most passwords shouldn’t be there, so I don’t feel bad about not following proper secuirty measures. There are exceptions, but it’s usually pretty obvious where those are and they can be dealt with as needed.
