Firefox Lockwise additional protection with Windows 10 credentials

Mozilla is preparing a very useful change to Firefox Lockwise, the password manager που είναι ενσωματωμένος στο . Η εσωτερική σελίδα του Firefox, θα εμφανίζει ένα παράθυρο εξουσιοδότησης που θα ζητάρει τα διαπιστευτήρια των Windows 10 πριν σας επιτρέψει την or viewing saved connections.

This change is really important and welcome, because if you accidentally forget to lock your computer, anyone can open Firefox Lockwise and steal saved codes access. An extra level of protection is very important in this case.

Firefox Lockwise

The new already released with the release Firefox Nightly 76.0a1 and prompts the user trying to access Firefox Lockwise to enter Windows 10 login credentials, e.g. a PIN, before viewing, copying, or editing stored login credentials.

If a user does not know their password, PIN, or other authentication, Firefox will not allow them to see their credentials.

This method makes Firefox Lockwise more secure, but the application has a usability issue. The Windows credential import request appears every time you want to see the credentials for each of the saved accounts, and this is really annoying.

It could of course be resolved in the future.
