Read password with Firefox!

[Devsio]

Well i was exploring the new firefox version. And i discovered how you can read the passwords that are typed.

1. Let a friend or someone else login in the account page.

2. Make them look away for some reason.

3. Click in "save" in the upper right corner.

4. Now let your friend do his stuff etc.

5. Click on options and then on the tab security and then on Saved Passwords


6. And then click on show passwords.


7. Click Yes.

8. And next to the name is the password

Or use a keylogger?

Anyway - why would you want to scam a friend?

I think that if your using the scam section you should check your morales at the door.

Also this is better than a keylogger as if the person has stored the password they would have no need to TYPE it would they?

Well some people are scared of keyloggers that contain virusses etc. so this is a save way

And what about public pc's at librarys or schools. You can see thousands of passwords. And it contains a handy search tab. So you only need to typ worldofwarcraf.com. And see the passwords.

Well i personally don't scam my friends. But i bet other people would do it. But its more focussed for public places.

Do you mean file > save page as?

[Devsio]

No when a password is typed. and you go to the next window it says something like : Save, Never for this website and Not now. I dont know what it is exactly because i have the dutch version.

Basically, he is saying you look at the save passwords in firefox, this works but honestly i don't see why you would want to do this to a friend unless they pissed you off.

[Devsio]

As I just told. This is more for public places.

If you were a real scammer you would scam your own mom for her house, and it's actually been done google the article.

Just do this:



Path is: Tools > Options...

This is not thanks to the new version.
The old one gave a pop up if memory servers me right which askes you if you want to save it or not and allowed you to view saved passes.

Updated with pics from Quale.

@Syan: Yup thats a easier way.
@John: Yes i can recall that. Some people always click the Remember button because they are busy.
