Should I first delete all saved passwords before assigning master password firefox 21

I want to start using the 'Master Password' feature. There are a couple of hundred 'stored' passwords in the Options-Security-Saved Passwords tab so I'm wondering if it would be best to delete ALL of these before setting up a Master Password. I will be changing and deleting several of the 'stored' passwords anyway. But my main question is whether or not the 'Master Password' would encrypt All of the existing 'stored' passwords and what if they have already been comprised by surfing anyway??

No need to delete that.
Master passwords are used to protect the saved passwords.

  • I have an ipod touch and i just bought a new laptop, because i lost mine. i try to sync the music in the itouch to my new laptop but it asks me if i want to delete all my music before syncing  what should i do?

    i have an ipod touch and i just bought a new laptop, because i lost mine which has all the data of my itouch. i try to sync the music in the itouch to my new laptop but it asks me if i want to delete all my music before syncing  what should i do?

    You should use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.
    The ipod will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase teh content from the ipod.

    iTunes content you purchase is tied to the Apple ID used to download it. You cannot update from a different Apple ID. Also, these are public forums and Apple isn't here, so you posted your password for all the world to see. I'll ask the moderators to remove it.

  • After refomatting HDD, reinstalling Vista plus service packs, recovering files from Microsoft backup and installing new copy of Firefox 3.6, Firefox will not run. Have deleted all old M0zilla profile folders and reinstalled Firefox again to no avail.

    After computer would not boot and could not be repaired, I reformatted the HDD, reinstalled Vista plus all service packs and updates, recovered files from Microsoft backup and installed new copy of Firefox 3.6. Firefox will not run.
    I have deleted all old M0zilla profile folders and reinstalled Firefox again to no avail.
    After intallation was completed, the automatic startup just placed a small box on the screen "Import wiz". This just sat there with no activity. After I closed this box, none of the Firefox start buttons would open the program -- just the blue rotating icon for about 2 seconds then nothing.

  • My computer is shared with spouse, can he access my password when utilizing master password?

    no problems, just need to know if my password can be access by my spouse who has a master password on mozilla fre fox.
    not to sure how this works.

    The master password encrypts the passwords that are stored in the Password Manager with an additional encryption level.
    So if you use a MP yourself that is strong enough that it can't be guessed then other won't be able to access your passwords.

    Note that details like websites remembering you (log you in automatically) are stored in a cookie.
    So make sure that you always log out of websites before closing Firefox.

  • Lost all my saved passwords and the master password. Why and how?

    1. I have a blog that has Zazzle marketing "flash panels." About 4 months ago, I stopped being able to see them, even though others on Zazzle could see them. Yesterday I disabled AdBlock Plus and Adblock Helper so that I could see the flash panels. I could see them. Then I turned the addons back on. I think that the master password was still working, because I had to restart the browser and then Microsoft insisted on my restarting, so there must have been updates to install. They didn't immediately work, as I saw some context ads. I got a message from AdBlock that it wasn't turned on for that page, and I followed directions and got it back on. 2. Another thing that I did yesterday, that I don't generally do, was to clear all the cookies. I have Do Not Track, so I usually don't bother with clearing the cookies. I closed the browser. 3. Yesterday I tried some new addons that I don't recall the names of now. I wound up removing them all, so that I could go back to my previous well-running browser activity. 4. I went through my programs and removed all that I did not recognize, about 6 of them.

    hello linda, according to norton the toolbar is already compatible with all firefox versions up to the currently released version. please run the norton liveupdate utility repeatedly & until all components are up-to-date. in addition make sure that the toolbar is enabled under ''firefox > addons > extension'' afterwards.

  • I have lost my MAC OS 10.6.8 Keychain password AND my Master password...what can I do?

    I have misplaced my MAC OS 10.6.8 Keychain passwords along with my Master password, can anyone help me resolve this?

    That depends on what you consider a "resolution"... What are you trying to do, and why? How did this come to your attention?
    Usually, your keychain password is the same as your account password. Note that if your account password is blank (contains zero characters), Keychain Access will refuse to allow you to unlock it, but generally applying a "proper" password to your account will resolve this (edit: depending on how you do it. At this stage I don't recommend any actions until you've clarified the situation).

  • ICal deleted all my events before a certain date on it's own

    I couldn't tell you when this happened, but just noticed it today. I went back to check on a prior event detail in my iCal and realized EVERYTHING from all calendars before October 11th has been deleted completely. Is there anyway I can get this info back?... kinda need it for tax purposes..
    I do have a time machine backup of the whole computer, but assume I'd lose my new events since that backup if I reverted.
    THANK YOU
    adam

    I am getting more confident that the problem has something to do with a background synchronization process. If I launch either Entourage or iSync, iCal launches also automatically. Perhaps there is a sync preference somewhere that got fouled up?
    Can anyone verify that launching Entourage or iSync also triggers iCal to launch on its own?

  • TS2755 why have we deleted all saved messages and the iphone 4s sitll says 6GB is devoted to messages. I have seen this question asked numerous times but Apple seems to be ignoring it.

    Can't update the Iphone operating system because 6.8 GB is devoted to messages despite the fact that all messages have been deleted.  Did a reset, back up and restore, still 6.8 GB allocated to messages.
    The local Verizon store, which is a company store, just said to back up and restore with itunes, but that didn't work.
    I have seen this question asked on support community blogs and various people have suggested different solutions, some very technical that involve changing settings on the backups saved on Itues files on your PC and lots of posts from people saying it worked for me, but many others saying no, that didnn't work.  
    It seem utterly irresponsible for Apple not to publish a fix that actually works.  With what you have to pay for these phones, it's ridiculous.

  • Can I delete a locked playlist w/ system master password?

    someone created a locked playlist in my itunes. I have no
    idea what the password is for that particular playlist, and searches of forums for stuff like unlock AND playlist don't turn up anything.
    since its my machine and I'm essentially root I should hope
    there's a way to delete this thing without whatever password
    someone put on it.
    my screen now locks when its idle

    Is the playlist icon in dark blue? If so, it is a "shared playlist" and it is not on your computer, rather, it is on someone else's computer and your computer is viewing it through the local network. To make it disapear, simply go to iTunes' preferences (Sharing) and turn OFF "look for shared music".
    Does that work?

  • All saved credentials get deleted from Credential Manager when changing password

    We have Windows 7 computers that are joined to domain. Credential Manager does its job but whenever users change their AD user password, it deletes all saved credentials. does anyone know why this is happening?

    This may casued by group policies?
    Check with your system admin and see if there are any task schedulers that make the password change a trigger to clean all the saved credentials.
    Normally it should just saved the changed information according to the special user account. Werid thing.

  • Why wont apple put a delete all button for your email?? i think that should be the next update.

    we need to be able to delete all messages at once, say someone has 1500 emails there not going to want to go 1 by 1, there should be a delete all button an except button and then another except to make sure if they really want to delete it they can.
