		<description>No, they&#039;re only active inside Firefox. Kill Firefox and then run SIW to see for yourself.

More info on master password:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Master_password

AFAIK once you set a master password, all passwords set after then are encrypted, most likely weakness is if someone brute forces the master password (tools exist). If you&#039;re paranoid, encrypt your Firefox profiles too.

Also, I presume you&#039;re using Truecrypt v5.0. I found the new filesystem noticeably faster than v4.3a. NTFS works well and if you&#039;re worried about cross-platform issues, NTFS-3g on Linux works fine with Truecrypt partitions.

Finally, the other extension which I find useful is Google browser sync, great for syncing between work and home. All saved data can be encrypted.
The other way is portable Firefox:

		<description>@si - I&#039;m wondering if the two FireFox plugins you mentioned prevented SIW from recovering those passwords. I&#039;ll install them and give it a try. I&#039;m also going to try using TrueCrypt with my thumb drive.

Thanks for the excellent suggestions!</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been using Keith Brown&#039;s open source Password Minder ( http://www.pluralsight.com/tools.aspx ) for years, and it is also written in .Net.  But, I&#039;ll have to check KeePass out and compare the two.</description>

		<description>KeePass is simply excellent!

Combine that to the possibility to have a portable version of it, and a Pocket PC version of it, all of which are of course able to handle the same database, and you&#039;ll only need to remember one password for the rest of your life!</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been using Keepass for a few years now, fantastic tool, especially when coupled with Truecrypt (5.0 just released) and Eraser.

On my USB stick I keep Keepass inside a Truecrypt partition for extra paranoia :)

Re: Firefox, *always* use a master password, I also use SIW and it didn&#039;t find any of my secrets. I also never store passwords in Firefox for sites which are finance related, I just keep these in Keepass and copy to clipboard (although I also use ClipX so this has a risk associated with it)

Also on a Firefox tip: Try the &quot;Secure Login&quot; and &quot;Autofill Forms&quot; extensions.  Aside from making login easy (duh:), what this does is prevent a site from auto-completing a form post based on your saved passwords (e.g. from a XSS attack), you have the manually press Alt+N. Check it out, very cool extensions! I also run NoScript of course.</description>

		<description>@Ben - Good idea about using foldershare to sink the pw file. I&#039;ll give that a try as well.

I have already begun the process of changing existing passwords. It helps that KeePass comes up with a random password by default when you are adding an entry and that there is a Generate Random Password button as well that you can configure with different rules to match the requirements of the site.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been struggling with this very issue and was hoping that I&#039;d see a good suggestion somewhere.

I would really like to see the password file sync happen automatically, so maybe I will setup a foldershare for my pw file.  

Also, don&#039;t forget to change the pw to all of your resources!  If you still re-use passwords all over the place then this method won&#039;t help you if 1 gets comporomised.  The real benefit is when you create a unique, highly secure password for each site you visit.</description>

		<description>@izb - Yeah, I&#039;ve wondered the same thing myself. I would try the thumb drive that Bill suggested. There is also a nice export feature in KeePass that allows you to transfer passwords to a file that can then be imported into a KeePass on another computer. You would still have synchronization issues, but it beats having to manually add them in multiple places.</description>
