Well this is a terrible idea. #cososec

Mozilla Firefox to let you export saved passwords in plain text

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/mozilla-firefox-to-let-you-export-saved-passwords-in-plain-text/

@voltronic most, if not all, password managers allow you to export in CSV format

i have all mine exported in CSV then encrypted using my private PGP key and stored on a hard drive that is sitting in a drawer

exported from bitwarden

also do the same with all my back-up codes for 2FA which are on a seperate hard drive in a separate drawer

need to padlock they drawers now also 😆

btw you can also instal firefox password manger app "lockwise" and keep on a seperate device as back up

@ecksmc
I also use bitwarden, but have never exported my passwords. Good to know that if I did, they would be plaintext!

One recommendation for you: put that really important stuff on optical discs as well, instead of just hard drives. Very stable over the long-term, if you are careful about what media you buy. I can still read my 20-year old CD-R backups with no problems, and I still run BD-R backups of important stuff every few months.

@voltronic which reminds me

i haven't added my newer account PW 's

i switch hard drives a lot when getting newer one's i'll use them for what's on current drives then wipe the current drives to use for other stuff < switch and change > regularly

also have all wrote down on paper lol well, not all, just the important PW/back-up codes that can allow me access to accounts that have my PW's like bitwarden PW and 2FA backup code is wrote down along with a few others

it's in the dropdown menu
