Comment on Passwords, Backups and a false sense of security

Comments

What about the password manager of Firefox? It seems to be better at remembering passwords from signup, so the only missing ingredient seems to be generating a random password upon signup.

Last time I checked, Firefox saved passwords in plain text. Has that changed?

Firefox is perfectly capable of encrypting the passwords you save -- you simply have to set a master password for your keyring.

Not if you use a master password.
