I had finaly got around to changing my password after trolly had to log in to test my PM folders error, I entered my old on enad my new one twice and when I tried to change it I got this message:

I really don't like the sound of a password manager storing all my passwords somewere! I have read in the pctools mag about a program that will store all your passwords for you :blink: Sounds very unsecure

Does any one know what this is? A firefox tool or something, I have never installed anything like this. <_<

Thanks
James

In Mozilla go to: Tools-Options-Security-Passwords-Show Passwords and it will show you a list of all the stored passwords it keeps so that you can automatically log onto websites (NZFF, photobucket, hotmail etc). Just delete your old NZFF password and it will only store your current one!

i'm not paranoid on the net, but i don't trust those password saving utilities... <_<

i keep myself logged in here anyway. it's a pain having to type the special ö on a laptop keyboard...

It's a part of Firefox, not an add on utility. I like it, but you can disable it by taking the tick out of remember passwords on the tools / options menu :D
