Firefox’s New Password Feature: A Patch, Not a Fix, Against Hackers

Mozilla Firefox’s new feature enhances security by using biometrics or passwords to access stored credentials. While useful, it doesn’t fully protect against malware. For robust security, consider using the best password managers alongside Firefox’s offerings.

Hot Take:

Move over Mission Impossible! Firefox just made it a tad harder for hackers to swipe your secrets. But let’s be real, it’s more like locking the door when the window’s still wide open.

Key Points:

  • Firefox adds biometric security for stored credentials.
  • Passwords can be accessed using device’s biometrics or a primary password.
  • Credentials are encrypted but still vulnerable to malware attacks.
  • Users are advised to use high-strength primary passwords and password generators.
  • Feature is a step forward but not a complete solution against information-stealing malware.
