Use a Master Password to protect stored logins and passwords in Firefox

Firefox can save usernames and passwords that you use to access online services, such as banking and email websites. If you share a computer with anyone, it is recommended that you use a master password because otherwise anyone can see you Password in Plain text. To know how you can see Saved Password In Firefox Click Here.



Note: After you've set a master password, it needs to be entered the first time you remember a new password or remove passwords and each time you show your passwords, for each Firefox session

Defining a master password :
By default, Firefox does not use master passwords to protect stored credentials. To define a master password:
  1. At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Options
  2. Click the Security panel.
  3. Check mark Use a master password.
  1. The Change Master Password dialog appears.
  2. Enter your master password. The Password quality meter will indicate the difficulty of guessing the password. To create a quality password, your master password should include the following:
    • At least one capital letter.
    • One or more digits.
    • At least one non-alphanumeric character, such as the following: @ # $ % ^ & * ( ).
    • Also, remember to make your password something that is easy for you to remember, but difficult for others to guess to ensure that you, and only you, will be able to retrieve this secure information. For more information on choosing passwords, see Create secure passwords to keep your identity safe.
  3. Enter the password a second time to confirm that you can enter it consistently.

  1. To set the master password, click OK.
  2. Click OK to close the Options window
