HOW-TO: Secure your Passwords on Firefox using a Master Password

DO NOT save your passwords on Firefox UNTIL you have enabled a Master Password on Firefox!! This video explains the Why... and the How! :)

By default, all passwords stored on Firefox are left open for anyone to access and see. This is inherently a HUGE issue on both Chrome and Firefox, but fortunately Firefox has created a feature that solves this issue. Enter the Master Password! You must configure the Master Password in order to secure all other stored passwords on Firefox, and this video shows exactly how to do so! :D

Hope you Enjoy!

Let me know if you guys have any ideas for new videos! I would be happy to try and make them for you guys!

there
he was happy to today I want to make a
video
showing you guys how to secure your
passwords
on Firefox Mozilla Firefox using
I am a master password so
for star I am here I'm running a virtual
machine and when does it mean when
and I just installed Firefox and a I
know a lot of people use Firefox it's a
common browser
I am right now there's a you'll
mean 3 mean browsers said
are used across all platforms in general
an solds is I Internet Explorer Google
Chrome and Firefox
and Firefox there's a Firefox almost all
the browsers have a feature where
when you enter password it asks you if
you wanna see it
and when you do save it its it's handy
an it's a handy feature because you
don't have to remember those hospital
the browser latinos but what a lot of
people don't know is that
these passwords are I
insecure its all been for anybody does
just look at it and you have access to
those bastards
so I'll show you guys what I mean let's
go to
so I'm at Google dot com Google .ca
and then let's go to sign in and let me
just
sign in an I'll pretend to sign in under
some accounts solo se
the Bob
and the password is going to be
123 for
okay and then it sign in
you'll see that a prompt here that says
do you wanna remember this past week I
am
and for example like I didn't have been
the right password I was just
doing this to get this prompt but if I
do it remember aspect now at Firefox
this is Firefox
sees it onto its a a list its
it's a yes local database that's here
and it says OK ongoing political with a
calm there's a user name called bob in
the past reason B 123 N
it states that passed me I let's just
for the same I have an example
let me just go let's go to pin dot com
I'll asked to sign in
and Alaska sign in let me just make
another one
and John analysts say the past it wanted
to be
were but let's see John at hot
you know that Khan inlet sign in
of course that's not really the password
%uh
up says
ask years me let's use another account
actually your misused text Floyd and
then
and live dance
the the password is going to be one two
three four five
sign in yes
now yeah I'm just using I'm just a
trying to get different account going
souls
for the sake of example let me just good
G a combat
key now
sign see remembers Bob already because
that's what we asked it to say
that CE I am still another account
we'll see tech Lloyd and the password is
convenient to
an Bob
wanted three and in light sign in
alaska's wanna save it let's see yes
even though it was incorrect
now I wanna show you guys is I
if we go to there's are settings I am
sources of Firefox here and then we go
to
options and people
options here now
you'll not only be on the General tab
you wanna go to the Security tab over
here
and all were here if you look
there's a button that says state
passwords so
if we click on that it shows us all the
different saved accounts that we
click on Firefox so so far on this
browser because this is a fresh install
I only saved it bob on a call with a
common man te quede
angle that are calm you guys saw me do
it right now in the video
so those are saved but
what I meant when I said its insecure
when you save it is that I am here
if you just click on this button the
social passwords and this is are you
sure you wish to show your pass first
said yes
and automatically it just shows
everybody's password that's the past but
that I typed in 1834 and involve wanted
to be
for I'm so yeah its that's just like
in seen the insecure because you can
just go on to anybody's computer
go on Firefox and just go to
save passwords and hit chill password
and all of a sudden you can see
everybody's password for
everything that's been see I'm so it is
definitely
not secure I am but in Firefox there's a
way to secure your passwords
and thats that's the main point at this
video I wanted to show you guys how to
secure your password
so nobody can access that
so the we we do is we have set up
something called a master password
what a master password is is it for you
before you're able to access any of the
housewares here and have the settings
when you click here
it'll it'll ask you for a master
password first
so a person who is trying to get your
passwords he has to know your master
password
to be able to look at all your other
passwords
so to enable that we just click here
where it says use a match password
once again you have to go to the Firefox
options go to security
then click check this box essays use
amassed faster
and then here right now I don't have a
current password so we have to enter new
one
and lemme I'll enter something here to
secure it
I
and then reenter the password to
confirm:
and here it owes it there's a house
recall the mir
it'll show you how could you pass rates
generally fit screen
you want it like or hear something
that's very secure
and I did make a video previously
showing you
dement explaining how to make a secure
password
what are the key components have a
secure password so definitely will check
that video if you haven't seen a
and the I once heard in enter your
password master password
then hit OK master password successfully
changed
it okay and
that is pretty much it now our master
password has been configured
so I
now let's see if I'm let's pretend that
I'm
I'm another user who comes onto your
computer
and I'm trying to get your password so
if i go to here Firefox single
options and then
I hit saved passwords
here now it'll say there's a pass
required to
access your password this is the master
password that we just can't figure it'll
if a person doesn't know this place
where he can access and every other
facet
so them it's a definite it's definitely
haii highly highly recommended that you
set up a master password
don't leave your passwords just open
like that so anybody can see it
make sure you use a master password so
now if I enter my master class read that
I configure only me
who knows dispassionate I'll be able to
access this and a
cheery even when I click Show password
is asked me for a master password again
just to confirm and then
now able to see it so yet definitely
guys
make sure you set up a master password
secure your password
on Firefox I am thats
mainly I the REIT main reason I use
Firefox
for a lot of my I
from my daily use and to keep track of
my accounts
is because I'm able to secure my
password that an issue with Google
Chrome is that
Google Chrome also asks you if you wanna
see passwords
but it it there's no way this there's no
way to secure your passwords at all
Google Chrome I till now
I'll without using any I don't say
anything like that so
Firefox in that sense is more secure
so a yeah for the point of this video
definitely makes you sick a year
accounts your passwords in Firefox
