Firefox introduces Master Password on your computer or Android phone

With the Master Password feature in Firefox — which works on your computer and your Android phone — you can minimize the number of passwords you have to remember and maximize the security of those passwords.

After you have defined a master password, you will be prompted to enter it when Firefox needs to access your stored passwords. This will “unlock” the usernames and passwords that you’ve saved and Firefox will automatically fill them in for you as you browse from website to website. When you’re done using the Web, you can quit Firefox to “lock” your usernames and passwords.

To set it up on your Android phone:

1. Tap the hardware Menu button and select Settings.
2. Tap the Use Master Password check box.
3. Type in a password (get tips to make a strong password).
4. Tap OK.

To set it up on your computer:

1. At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options.
2. Click theSecurity panel.
3. Check “Use a master password.”
4. Type in a password (using the password tips, above). A quality meter will tell you the strength of your password.
5. Click OK.

Use a Master Password to protect stored logins and passwords

Firefox can save usernames and passwords that you use to access online services, such as banking and email websites. If you share a computer with anyone, it is recommended that you use a master password.

• For other privacy issues related to sharing a computer, see How do I share Firefox between people on a computer?.

After you have defined a master password, you will be prompted to enter it once Firefox needs to access your stored passwords.

Note: After you've set a master password, it needs to be entered the first time you remember a new password or remove passwords and each time you show your passwords, for each Firefox session.
Defining a master password

By default, Firefox does not use master passwords to protect stored credentials. To define a master password:

1. At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options
2. Click the Security panel.
3. Check mark Use a master password.
   
4. The Change Master Password dialog appears. As you enter your master password, the Password quality meter indicates the difficulty of guessing the password. To create a quality password, your master password should include the following:
   • At least one capital letter.
   • One or more digits.
   • At least one non-alphanumeric character, such as the following: @ # $ % ^ & * ( ).
   • Also, remember to make your password something that is easy for you to remember, but difficult for others to guess to ensure that you, and only you, will be able to retrieve this secure information. For more information on choosing passwords, see Create secure passwords to keep your identity safe.
5. The password must be entered twice to confirm that you can enter it consistently.
   
6. To set the master password, click OK.
7. The master password is defined.

Changing or removing the master password

You can change or remove your master password at any time:

1. At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options
2. Click the Security panel.
3. Click Change Master Password.
4. Enter the current password to confirm you are authorized to change it.
   • If you've forgotten your master password, see Reset your Master Password if you've forgotten it.
5. Enter the new master password twice.
   • To remove the master password, leave the new master password fields empty.
6. To accept the changed master password, click OK.
7. The master password is changed.
