Thank you to my attention via a comment if you notice a link out of service or other information. Did you know that firefox for example, anyone with access to your computer can see all your login and password stored?
For that you can not see you and so do not store passwords on public computers without a password here's how to get there.
- Start Firefox
- Click Tools
- Then Options
- Go to the Security tab
- Click Show Passwords ...
- Then on display passwords again and now all your passwords appear!
If you want to add a modicum of security, set a password main but you must know that the data are not immune to a possible flaw in the browser ...
The best solution is not to store it and keep it all in his head!
The solution for the paranoid like me, is to use portable firefox on a usb stick, and always keep the key on you (after all the places where it is .... Lol).
But it's true that it is still a hell of a problem of how to record the passwords without being the make ...
