The Mozilla Foundation today announced a new choice ανάκτησης για τους λογαριασμούς του Firefox, στο σύστημα χρήστη που συμπεριλαμβάνεται στο πρόγραμμα tours Firefox.
From today, users can create a one-day recovery key for their account that they can use to access Firefox data if they have forgotten their passwords.
User accounts in Firefox are included in all recent versions of Firefoxletterof browsing. Most users know the feature because of Firefox Sync, the system that synchronizes its data browser, όπως τους κωδικούς πρόσβασης, το ιστορικό περιήγησης, ανοικτές καρτέλες, σελιδοδείκτες, εγκατεστημένα πρόσθετα και τις γενικές ρυθμίσεις του προγράμματος περιήγησης .
Firefox sync works with name and password of the user's account and encrypts browser data directly on the local computer.
Only after encryption the data will be sent to the Mozilla Foundation's servers for storage. Thus no one can access the data without the user's password, which acts as a decryption key. So if Firefox is installed on a new device, no one can download and decrypt the previous browser data without its Firefox account password.
But starting today, the Mozilla Foundation has introduced a new feature called "recovery key" for Firefox accounts. Browser users can create a recovery key, which serves as a secondary decryption key for their data, in case they forget their Firefox account password.
The Firefox recovery key is similar to the recovery codes used by the two-factor authentication settings in most Internet services. Firefox users should store the key (preferably encrypted) somewhere on the internet or on a secondary device.
The Mozilla Foundation reports that a recovery key can only be used once and that users will be able to create a new key after using the previous one. Instructions on how to create these keys can be found in support page of Firefox.
