All passwords are shown in plain text. A master password will require a password once per FF session, but then it will be able to access your other passwords. If you use Portable FF and not setting up a master password, you are just asking for trouble if your flash drive is lost or stolen. |

You now have all of their FF pwds. Always set a master password, or, better yet, use passphrases and never save them or write them down. |

Okay, I set a master password. Glad I saw this. You know what sucks about this kind of software? I want to warn my coworkers and friends about how to protect themselves, but if I show them this they will freak out and think I am stealing their info. Its the same reason I don't tell anyone that I know how to lock pick either. |
