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

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.

    Wow, that was a popular expression like over 25 years ago. I thought it had died a most painful death, and to be used by out of touch boomers who have no idea on how much time has passed, trying to be cool and trendy, while sounding like an idiot. As even when it was popular back in the early 1990's it made you sound like an idiot anyways. But back then being an idiot was actually kinda trendy.
