Easiest Way To View Passwords in Firefox 3

in Firefox

I have to admit that I am loving the final version of Firefox 3. I finally got it downloaded yesterday, after the initial hiccups when Mozilla’s servers went down.

You’ll find more articles on Firefox 3 and its cool features going forward on Jeet Blog and this cool tip is the first in that series. Now let’s say you have a login id and password for a particular website but you don’t remember that. Now what do you do? If you’ve saved it previously in Firefox then you’d go and access it through Tools-> Options->Security->Saved passwords and check it.

But with the new Firefox 3, it’s much more simple. You just need to click on the site identification button for the website, which is there just beside the url. And there you can easily check the saved login information including password.

  • Remembering passwords really saves time but, nyone remembering their password in firefox should apply a master password so that nyone else using the computer may not access or view the remembered passwords
  • Thanks for this find out.

    I have just downloaded firefox and exploring the new stuff.

    I am in love with firefox and ubuntu.

    Cheers !
