  • Answer:

    A Master Password protects access to your stored passwords in the Password Manager. You can access the Password Manager via "Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: Show Passwords". The use of a Master password is highly recommended to protect your passwords. Using a Master password is not selected by default. You need to set one, see "Setting a master password" below for how to do that. You can see the Master password as a way to authenticate who you are to the Software Security Device just like you do to a server on a web site: you log in to a web site and enter your credentials and you do the same if supply the Master password. If you supply the Master password in the popup window that you see if the Master password is needed then you log in to the Software Security Device (In Firefox 2/3: "Tools > Options > Advanced > Encryption: Certificates: Security Devices: Software Security Device"). If you select the Software Security Device then you notice an enabled Log Out button if you are logged on, otherwise the Log In button is enabled in that window. Access to the encrypted names and passwords is possible as long as you are logged on to the Software Security Device and you need to log out to prevent others from accessing that data if you leave your computer unattended. "Tools > Clear Private Data : Authenticated sessions" does the same, but also additionally will log you out of secure web sites. You may need to clear the cookies to log out of other sites. Stored passwords can include webmail and forum account information for browsers and e-mail server passwords for mail readers. By setting a Master Password, anyone using your profile will be prompted to enter the Master Password when access to your stored passwords is needed. You will also need to setup a master password if you wish to install S/MIME certificates. A Master Password will not prevent others from reading locally stored e-mails, reading your browsing history, or from accessing sites the browser is already logged in to. check this link for more info: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Master_passwor%E2%80%A6 Recover your master passwrd here: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/11/27%E2%80%A6 Source(s): http://kb.mozillazine.org/Master_passwor%E2%80%A6 http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/11/27%E2%80%A6
