Firefox To Get a Better Password Manager (bleepingcomputer.com)

Posted by msmash on Monday October 30, 2017 @02:00AM from the interesting-moves dept.

Catalin Cimpanu, reporting for BleepingComputer: Mozilla engineers have started work on a project named Lockbox that they describe as "a work-in-progress extension [...] to improve upon Firefox's built-in password management." Mozilla released the new extension for employee-use only at first, but users can install it by going to this or this links. Lockbox revamps Firefox's antiquated password management utility with a new user interface (UI). A new Firefox UI button is also included, in case users want to add a shortcut in their browser's main interface to open Lockbox without going through all the menu options. Support for a master password is included, helping users secure their passwords from unauthorized access by co-workers, family members, or others.

Then we have you with the bizarre need to prattle on about some guy using an expression that you think should have died a painful death. It's really a shame that you haven't died a painful death.
Go kill yourself.

If your computer isn't working, and you just can't figure out how to fix it, and someone comes along and says 'maybe you should set it on fire and then urinate on it', do you just go 'oh well nothing else is working' and do it? That's what we did when we elected Trump.
