Email Accounts Passwords are TOTALLY VISIBLE in Firefox

By Androerus , 28 June 2016

Hi!
After I save all my email accounts into X-Notifier with username and passwords, for every account apart, EVERYONE who has acccess to my Firefox browser, can very easy to find out ALL MY EMAILS PASSWORDS, if he goes to "Firefox->Options->Security->Saved Logins->Show Passwords"!
In my oppinion (and I am 100% sure that in ALL Firefox + X-Notifier users oppinion) this should not happen AT ALL!
Can you do something to encrypt the passwords so NOBODY could ever get access to them again, in the same way I mentioned above?!

Your choice...

Use a master password at (copy/paste) about:preferences#security (to the address field).

What nerve

How haughty of u to assume 100% of all Firefox and X-notifier users have to think like you. I for one is quite comfortable with this setting.
Seriously 2 years and now you are aware that firefox saves your logins, makes me think you are not that picky about your password or security.

There are a number of third party apps to ensure encryption look into them.

Well if you dont want to use the master password feature its you choice, its a bit high handed of you to demand that the developer NEEDS to do anything for a FREE app.
In a nutshell: either stop using x-notifier or get some third party add-ons for your encryption needs.

Old forum that we already discuss but it lost...

To respond...
Please, don't tell me to use the "Master Password" from Firefox settings,
because I don't want to do that!
I need from you to encrypt our saved password,
directly into "X-Notifier" addon!"

About 5 years ago??? long time ago, I forgot exact words for words...

Tobwithu did create password DIRECTLY into X-notifier addon!...

BUT... Mozilla add-ons told Tobwithu...
by said YOU (Tobwithu) can NOT do that...
YOU (Tobwithu) MUST use "Master Password"...
SO ... Tobwithu OBEY Mozilla's request...
and same ever-since for 5 years!

If you want to complain??? tell Mozilla!... not at Tobwithu!

What I am doing???
I am use password on Mini Mac mostly at home...
and I do not want to hassle with Master Password!

With Laptop and travel...
I will turn it on Master Password to protect me, and in-case stole laptop!

I hope that my comments will make you feel better?

Thanks for reading and understanding,
