The Mozilla Foundation today announced a new recovery for Firefox accounts, on the user system included in the Firefox browser.

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.Mozilla

User accounts in Firefox are included in all recent versions of Firefoxτος περιήγησης. Οι περισσότεροι χρήστες γνωρίζουν το χαρακτηριστικό λόγω του Firefox Sync, το σύστημα που συγχρονίζει τα δεδομένα του browser, όπως τους κωδικούς , το ιστορικό περιήγησης, ανοικτές καρτέλες, , installed plugins and general browser settings.

Firefox sync works with the user's account name and password and encrypts browser data directly to the local computer.

Only after of data begin to be sent to Mozilla Foundation servers for storage. So no one can access the data without the user's password, which acts as a decryption key. So in case of installing Firefox on a new device, no one can download and decrypt previous browser data without their 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 identity settings two στις περισσότερες διαδικτυακές υπηρεσίες. Οι χρήστες του Firefox θα πρέπει να αποθηκεύσουν το κλειδί (κατά προτίμηση κρυπτογραφημένο) κάπου στο or on a secondary device.

The Mozilla Foundation states that a recovery key can only be used once and that users will be able to generate a new key after using the previous one. Instructions on how of these keys you will find at support page of Firefox.
