Privacy & Security Preferences - Passwords

+ +

This section describes the Passwords preferences panel. If you're not + already viewing it, follow these steps:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the &brandShortName; + Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    2. +
  2. Under the Privacy & Security category, click Passwords. (If no + subcategories are visible, double-click Privacy & Security to expand + the list.)

For detailed information about using Password Manager, including how to + override it for individual sites and how to view and manage stored passwords, + see Using the + Password Manager.

+ +

Encrypting Versus Obscuring

+ +

If you use Password Manager or Form Manager to save passwords and personal + data, this sensitive information is stored on your computer in a file + that's difficult, but not impossible, for an intruder to read. This way + of storing information is sometimes described as obscuring. This + is the default setting that applies to information stored by Password Manager + or Form Manager.

+ +

For improved protection, you may choose to protect the file with encryption. + Encryption makes it more difficult (but again, not impossible) for an + unauthorized person to view your stored sensitive information.

+ + + +

If you have not previously set a + master password, you will be + asked to create one. To do so, follow the instructions as they appear on your + screen.

+ +

Using encryption versus obscuring for stored sensitive data is a tradeoff + between improved security and convenience:

+ + + +

For more details, see + Encrypting + Stored Sensitive Information.

+ +

Password Manager

+ +

This section describes how to use Password Manager dialog box to control + your stored passwords. If you are not already viewing it, follow these + steps:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the &brandShortName; + Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    2. +
  2. Under the Privacy & Security category, click Passwords. (If no + subcategories are visible, double-click Privacy & Security to expand + the list.)
    3. +
  3. Click Manage Stored Passwords.
    4. +
+ +

Alternatively, open the Tools menu, choose Password manager, and then choose + Manage Stored Passwords from the submenu.

+ +

The Password Manager has two tabs:

+ +
    +
  1. Passwords Saved: Click this tab to view the list of + sites for which Password Manager has saved your user name and + password—that is, the sites for which you selected Yes + in response to Password Manager's request to store logon + information. + +

    The second column shows the user name for each site. If the password is + stored in encrypted form, (encrypted) appears after the user + name.

    + +

    By default, stored passwords are not displayed.

    + +
      +
    • To see the list of stored passwords, click Show Passwords and confirm + your choice.
      • +
    • To hide the passwords, click Hide Passwords.
      • +
    + +

    If you remove an entry from the list, the stored user name and password + will be discarded, and you will need to log in manually the next time you + visit that site.

    +
    2. +
  2. Passwords Never Saved: Click this tab to view the list + of sites for which you selected Never for this site in response + to Password Manager's request to store logon information. + +

    If a site is included on this list, you will always have to type in your + user name and password manually when you log onto the site.

    + +

    If you remove an entry from this list, Password Manager will again ask + you, the next time you log onto the site, whether to store your user name + and password.

    +
    3. +
+ +

Regardless of which tab you are viewing, you can remove entries from the + list as follows:

Privacy & Security Preferences - Master + Passwords

+ +

This section describes the Master Passwords preferences panel. If you are + not already viewing it, follow these steps:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the &brandShortName; + Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    2. +
  2. Under the Privacy & Security category, click Master Passwords. (If no + subcategories are visible, double-click Privacy & Security to expand + the list.)
    3. +
+ +

A master password protects a security device, which is a software or + hardware device that stores sensitive information associated with your + identity, such as keys or certificates.

+ +

For example, the browser has a built-in Software Security Device, and you + can also use external security devices, such as smart cards, if your computer + is configured to use them.

+ +

The master password for the browser's built-in Software Security Device + also protects stored sensitive information such as email passwords, website + passwords, and other data stored by the Password Manager and Form + Manager.

+ +

Each security device, whether it is software or hardware, has its own + separate Master Password.

+ + + +

Change Master Password

+ +

You must remember your old master password to change it with the Change + Password button.

+ +

This section describes the Change Master Password dialog box. If you're + not already viewing it, follow these steps:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the &brandShortName; + Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    2. +
  2. Under the Privacy & Security category, click Master Passwords. (If + no subcategories are visible, double-click Privacy & Security to expand + the list.)
    3. +
  3. Click Change Password.
    4. +
+ +

A master password protects a security device, which is a software or + hardware device that stores sensitive information associated with your + identity, such as keys or certificates.

+ +

For example, the browser has a built-in Software Security Device, and you + can also use external security devices, such as smart cards, if your computer + is configured to use them.

+ +

The master password for the browser's built-in Software Security Device + also protects your master key. Your master key is used to encrypt sensitive + information such as email passwords, website passwords, and other data stored + by the Password Manager and Form Manager.

+ +

You use the Change Master Password dialog box to provide the following + information:

+ + + +

If someone uses your computer who knows or can guess your master password, + that person may be able to access websites while pretending to be you. This + can be dangerous—for example, if you manage your financial accounts + over the Internet.

+ +

Therefore, it's important to select a master password that's + difficult to guess. The password quality meter gives you a + rough idea of the quality of your password as you type it based on factors + such as length and the use of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, + and symbols. It does not guarantee, however, that no one will be able to + guess your password.

+ +

For further guidelines, see Choosing + a Good Password.

+ +

It's also important to record your master password in a safe + place—and not anywhere that's easily accessible + to someone else. If you forget this password, you may not be able to access + important information, such as websites that require passwords or + certificates stored on your computer.

+ +

Master Password Timeout

+ +

After you first set a new master password, you will be asked to enter it + only when the newly launched browser first needs it to access personal + information, such as a user name and password or personal certificates.

+ +

You can control how often the browser requests your master password:

+ + + +

Reset Master Password

+ +

Warning: If you reset your master password, you will + permanently erase all the encrypted web and email passwords, saved on your + behalf by Password Manager. You will also lose all your personal certificates + associated with the + Software Security Device.

+ +

Note that encrypted passwords will be lost only if you have turned on + encryption for this stored information. For information about turning + encryption on or off, see + Turning + Encryption On and Off.

+ +

To change your master password rather than resetting it, click the Change + Password button in the Master Passwords preferences panel.

+ +

This section describes the Reset Master Password dialog box. If you're + not already viewing it, follow these steps:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the &brandShortName; + Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    2. +
  2. Under the Privacy & Security category, click Master Passwords. (If + no subcategories are visible, double-click Privacy & Security to expand + the list.)
    3. +
  3. Click Reset Password.
    4. +
+ +

Warning: If you reset your master password, you will + permanently erase all encrypted web and email passwords, saved on your behalf + by Password Manager You will also lose all your personal certificates + associated with the + software security + device.

+ +

Encrypted passwords will be lost only if you have turned on encryption for + this stored information. For information about turning encryption on or off, + see Turning + Encryption On and Off.

+ +

If you remember your master password and decide to change it, you can do so + without danger of losing any personal information. If you are viewing the + Reset Master Password alert and you decide you want to change your password + rather than resetting it, click Cancel to return to the Master Passwords + preferences panel, then click Change Password. For details, see + Change Master Password.

+ +

Resetting your master password is a last resort that you should use only if + you are absolutely sure you've forgotten it. The seriousness of the + situation depends on how much personal data your forgotten master password + protects.

+ +

Resetting your master password does not create a new password. Instead, it + removes all the data your old master password protects. You will be asked to + specify a new master password the next time the browser needs to store + personal information.

+ +

After you reset your master password, you may also want to re-save personal + information that you want to have prefilled in the future. For example, as + you browse you may want Password Manager to save website and email passwords + again.In addition, any personal certificates associated with the software + security device will be permanently erased and you will need to apply for new + ones.

+ +

Note for smart card users: Each smart card has its own + master password. The master password for a smart card protects only the data + on that smart card (such as personal certificates). You can normally change + the master password for a smart card (assuming that you remember it), but you + cannot reset it.

+ +

Choosing a Good Password

+ +

Choosing a good password will help in keeping your personal information + safe and private. To improve the security of your password, follow some + or all of these suggestions:

+ + + +

You should avoid personal information that could be guessed. So the + following common items should be avoided:

+ + + +

A good way to choose a secure but easily remembered password is to use the + first character of each word in a phrase. For instance, StNh*nbsS + stands for Surfing the Net has never been so Suite; the asterisk in + the middle is included for increased security. (Don't use this + password!)

+ +

To further protect your personal data, you are advised to follow these + simple rules:
