How is this better than Firefox built-in password manager?

[-] Itsamelemmy@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Firefox is extremely easy to get your password from behind the *** if it autofills. Requires physical access, but literally takes seconds. Right click the field, inspect and change the field type from password to text.

So if my passwords are behind fingerprint there's no problem?

[-] Itsamelemmy@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

On mobile I'm assuming. I personally don't know a way to bypass the fingerprint locks. And if you're also having Firefox create random difficult passwords, its significantly better than reusing the same one. So you're probably a much harder target than the majority of people. I'd have to double check but I think even on desktop if you have a master password for Firefox and don't just have logins auto filled you're probably good there too.

Thank you. I do use master password on everything. This does ease my mind a bit.
