they answer a lot of those questions and explain it all in detail. Yeah you should take a read at their FAQ's. read the notice on the greasemonkey site, the security holes in greasemonkey make windows seem like a utopia With pageant it even makes the process far simpler. This is really not that paranoid, SSH has been doing it for quite some time. Where I can type in a passphrase to allow a program to input my passwords into the field, but never allow me to actually see them in plaintext. Is this true?įrankly, what I want is the public key encryption model applied to firefox saved passwords. I'm also unsure of their claim to be keylogger-immune, other sites have said you can fill in forms in IE but that firefox lacked the functionality to do so. So, I can't use it for any of my banking sites, even at the risk of there being a keylogger program on my system. Why do they all do this? thats a huge security risk. My problem is that all somebody needs to do is compromise your "master" password then they can find every password in the database. IMHO, none of them do it right, but roboform is my favorite. Now when you click on a bookmark, it will go to the site, fill in the login and password, and hit OK all in one operation. The two GreaseMonkey scripts above, along with many useful scripts, can be found at. This script automatically clicks the login button. Install AutoLoginJ script, available from here (). This script makes sure that sites which direct the browser not to remember passwords are ignored.ģ. Install Allow Password Remember script, available from here (). Install GreaseMonkey firefox extension: Ģ. Solution: Use Firefox's simple password manager together with two GreaseMonkey scripts to replicate the above functionality.ġ. One free one recommended by Firefox and others is KeePass.Roboform is a great password manager because it allows you to go to a site, fill in your login and password, and automatically click the login button, all in one click. Neither of these is acceptable to me, so I'll be installing a different password manager. One free one recommended by Firefox and others is KeePass. So my only option was either to display the Roboform toolbar continuously or switch browsers. For some reason Roboform's own separate menu (available from its taskbar icon) also would not work unless its toolbar was continuously displayed. With very great difficulty I finally reached a support technician, who told me that without removing the context menu entries and without any notice to users, Roboform had discontinued support for Firefox's context menu. Like most computer users, I've chosen not to burden my computer screen with an unnecessary toolbar, and have used the context menu.Įxcept that a few days ago, in my Firefox browser, Roboform no longer worked! Clicking any of Roboform's context menu entries now does nothing. For those who (unaccountably) don't want to use the context menu, Roboform will do the same via the Roboform toolbar. In either case Roboform will fill in sign-in information upon the user's request via the browser's context menu. Roboform works by storing the user's sign-information in a database to whose entries the user (at the user's advance option) has either immediate access or access via a private master password. As one of its earliest customers, I've been using Roboform's paid version for a great many years, and have been completely satisfied-until now.
