Storing passwords

Storing passwords
In general, CERT/CC recommends you do not use the Firefox feature to store passwords.

If you decide to use the feature, be sure to use the measures available to protect the password data on your computer.

Under Firefox's Privacy category, the Passwords subcategory contains various options to manage stored passwords, and a Master Password feature to encrypt the data on your system.

Use this option if you decide to let Mozilla Firefox manage your passwords.
