One thing I like about Firefox as opposed to other browsers is the fact that you can recover passwords in Firefox<\/a> using the password manager. Now, don’t get me wrong, it is a security hazard, but not if you set a master password<\/a>, however, none of the other browsers I use provide users with an option to do that.<\/p>\n

If you are using Google Chrome<\/a>, you could do it with the Chrome Password Recovery tool<\/a>, however, the developers of the Chrome password software have also released a similar software for Opera called OperaPassView.<\/p>\n

OperaPassView will allow you to fetch the stored passwords for websites which you have stored them for in Opera<\/a>. In my tests the passwords were displayed to me for all the sites I have them stored for (the screenshot above is default from the software site) and was even able to export them to an external file.<\/p>\n

Definitely handy if you have forgotten your password and want to access a site in a different browser, read the rest of the security hazards in my verdict below.<\/p>\n

Techie Buzz Verdict<\/h3>\n

If an external software can crack the algorithms of these browsers and fetch the passwords, it would definitely be good if they can provide an option to set a master password and access the stored passwords, rather than having a algorithm which can be cracked easily.<\/p>\n

That said, OperaPassView is a really handy software to have, but again it exposes the vulnerabilities of a browser. What if your laptop is lost? Anyone could use software like these and get access to your passwords.<\/p>\n

Are you listening Google Chrome and Opera?<\/p>\n
