Firefox Does Something So Amazing It Will Blow You Away

| December 7, 2014

foxMaybe not blow you away, but maybe give a you a heads up. It saves your passwords and usernames for accounts you log into. It shows the passwords too…Is this is a good idea? I don’t think so and I turned mine off.  You never know who is going to use your computer, even if you live alone.

To check to see if this is turned on or off…

  • Open Firefix Go to the Toolbar, click on “Tools”
  • Go to “Options”
  • Go to the “Security” tab at the top
  • If your Passwords “Remember passwords for sites” is checked, go to the “Saved Passwords” and see what is being saved.
  • Turn off password sharing by unchecking the “remember passwords for sites”

NOTE Google Chrome has the same saved password feature, but mine at least requires the computer password to see the saved password.

IE also saves passwords, but the “manage passwords” is not in my options to view them easily.

Need help with this or any other issue?
