  • I've been using a master password for years. Today I noticed that it had been cleared. What could cause this?

    I've been using a master password for years. I also use Sync. Today I wanted to look up one of my saved passwords. When I went to do this I noticed that Firefox was no longer set to use a master password. I'm afraid that I may have been hacked, or that something else happened (recent Firefox update?) that caused the use of the master password to be disabled.
    I have not yet checked my other Synced computers to see if their master passwords have also been turned off.
    I have re-enabled the master password feature on this computer.
    On this particular computer, I've had a long-standing issue where Firefox "Help>About Firefox" always shows that I need to "Restart to Update". This means that I cannot use "Help>About Firefox" to check for and install the latest version. I need to download Firefox manually and update by running the installer.

    Hi,
    You can try to '''Clear Now''' the '''Active Logins''' with '''Time range to clear''' set to '''Everything''' via '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History Clear Recent History]. Alternatively via '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u Advanced] > '''Encryption''' > '''Security Devices''', select '''Software Security Device''' and choose '''Log Out'''. You can then restart Firefox and check.
    If the problem persists you can reset Firefox and start afresh.
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    If you would like to take a listing of the add-ons, changed preferences/settings etc. to quickly replicate the previous profile, please '''Copy all to clipboard''' (on the left of the reset button), and paste it into MS Office Excel, or OpenOffice/LibreOffice Calc, or notepad. However, it would be a good idea to check for the existence of the issue immediately after the reset.
    For the update error, please try searching for all instances of '''updates.xml''', open the containing folder to make sure it belongs to Firefox/Mozilla (path) and delete all instances of the file along with the '''updates''' folder.

  • How do I actually use a master password?

    My home folder is protected with file vault and so I have a master password set. If ever I should forget my user password how would I use the master password to get in to my Mac?
    thx

    If you would ever forget your password, then you
    would need to use the Mac OS X Install Discs to reset your password.
    The above suggestion is not correct for an account that's protected with FileVault. Even if it does allow you to reset the password on the account it does not reset the password on the encrypted home folder.
    Instead read this Apple Support article.
    Basically you "attempt" to logon to the account using incorrect passwords. After three incorrect attempts you'll be prompted for the Master Password (or if the account has a password hint set you'll see the password hint - enter another incorrect password to get the Master Password prompt).
    At this point you can enter the Master Password and you'll be allowed to set a new password for the account. This will also set the new password on the encrypted home folder, mount it and log you in to the account.
    You can also mount a FileVault encrypted home folder from the command line with the Master Password using hdiutil. One reason you might want to do this is if you had multiple accounts on a machine and you were logged in to one account but needed to recover or access files in an encrypted home folder of another account.

  • How to know if firefox is using a master password from a some programming language?

    I am working in a security check project and I need know from an programming language or open some file if firefox is using a master password.

    Generally speaking, there is nothing in the HTTP request to indicate to a server the type of window the request originates from. So you will have to manage it at the application level.

  • Need a preference to disable & lock "Use a master password" button. Please advise

    In that case, you have to set up the iPhone again. Open Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, and set up the iPhone again, so you will see the option to restore your iPhone from the iCloud backup

  • I can't keep Yahoo mail account open 2 weeks in a row even with a mark in box KEEP ME OPEN. I did go to Tools, Options, Security to check SAVED PASSWORD box

    Usually, after opening Firefox, to check my Yahoo mail, I log in with my password, and mark the little box in front of KEEP ME OPEN, I can check my mail, and then close Firefox. Whenever I open Firefox, I can access my Yahoo mail account without typing my password. It stays open for 2 weeks. From yesterday, whenever I close Firefox, to access my mail account, I must log in again no matter whatever I've tried such as: Tools-Options-Security-Saved Password, or log out, then log in, type PW, mark little box to KEEP ME OPEN. I even uninstall Firefox, restart, download and re-install Firefox 8.0. The problem can never be solved. It's very annoying to log in by typing again and again my PW. Please help me out since I don't know what causes this problem. Thanks everybody who can help me out.

    Benji, I did get the email server error message again last night around 8PM, but again the email does eventually go. Wondering if the 6PM to 9PM time frame is a busy time for Yahoo email servers and somehow our iTouch or portable devices take a lower priority? I seem to get the error only once a day now around that time, then everything seems fine again...could be a server issue.
    Still looking for a pattern with the blank white web pages when I try and view a previous web page. Seems to happen most when I look at the "iPod touch User Guide" (on the included bookmarks)...most of the other times the previous web page loads fine so....humm....
    I also had an issue with the Camera app today, the red light button and Picture/Video switch were staying dimmed...finally turned off the iTouch (holding down the Home button then pressing the Sleep/Off button on top) then turned it back on, so the iOS could reboot. That fixed the Camera app. Might want to try that too....seems like it might be a fix for a few things, especially after updating to iOS 4.2.1...

  • How do I change/update a saved password in the security tab when I use the Master password?

    I have a long list of saved passwords in the passwords section of the security tab in Tools>options. I changed my password for my browser but the master password still provides the old one. How do I update the password in Tools>options>security>passwords?

    You can start Firefox in Safe Mode and check if one of your extensions is causing this problem:

  • Is there a way to use a Master Password only to view Saved Passwords, without having to type it in every session?

    If anyone ever uses my computer, they can easily see my Saved Passwords. I want to be able to secure them. The only way to do that is by setting a Master Password, which is great, but I don't really want to have to type it in every time I open up my web browser.
    I couldn't seem to find this anywhere in any searches. Is there an Add-on or tweak that can set a Master Password only to protect my Saved Passwords?

    Thanks, Matt. In my case, the monitor definitely shuts off when I unplug the power from my laptop in clamshell mode. If the lid is open, however, the monitor continues to function even without the power adapter plugged into my laptop. Ideally, I'd like to have the lid closed on my laptop and be able to use the external monitor without having the power plugged into my laptop. That's what doesn't seem to work - if your does, please let me know if you have any pointers.
    Thanks again!

  • When I go to a website requiring login, and am logged in automatically, I still get prompted by Software Security Defice for master password. New w/Firefox 24.

    If I go to a website that requires a login & password, and I have it set up to automatically log me in, I get automatically logged in (it remembers by userid & password for that site), but the prompt from the Software Security Device for my master password appears as well. I can cancel the prompt and it goes away, but it shouldn't show up because I'm already logged in. This problem started happening after I downloaded Firefox 24 yesterday.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Note that Firefox Sync also requires you to enter the Master Password.

  • In spite of having firefox set to remember usernames and passwords it won't, even if i use a master password, still doesn't work. Is this a bug, i'm on 8-0-1

    I have turned off and on the password setting,, still doesn't help

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
    To see all History and Cookie settings, choose:
    *Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    *Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
    Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
    There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page.<br />
    The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.<br />
    If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you and you need to sign in once again.

  • I want to use master password but sites I had previously said not save passwords are not listed in the security section of tools/options. What do I do?

    I was not using the master password provision but have decided to. There are a number of sited where I told Firefox not to save the password. I have since changed my mind and want to use the master password. There are no sites listed as exceptions in the options/tools/remember passwords for sites/exceptions.
    How do I get Firefox to remember passwords for sites I had previously to it not to remember?

    If it is not in the exceptions list you should be able to go to that site again and type in password and it will ask you if you want to save it.

  • Cannot sign on to amazon card account w/o getting a box asking me to "enter the master password for your software security device." ???

    Does not happen on other browsers

    You have probably set up Firefox with a master password because you're using "Remember Passwords for Sites" option. To change the master password or to disable this option, you can do so as follows:
    * Go to \Options\Options (using the Firefox favicon);
    * Go to Security tab;
    * Under the Passwords section make necessary changes.
    To disable the master password, uncheck "Use a Master Password".
    To change the master password, "Change Master Password" button.
    Alternatively, you may be using a security software (like I use Norton 360) and use the password management functionality with a master password which you will have to manage from that particular software or via the appropriate add-on.
