Hi
Hab grad gesucht ob ich meine Passwörter in Chrome so wie in Firefox mit einem Masterpasswort schützen kann.
Dazu sagt ein Google Mensch (gefunden im Chromeblog)
"Hi everybody,
We understand that many of you want a master password for your saved passwords in Google Chrome. You’ve laid out many scenarios in which this might be useful, but the most common is that if your computer were to fall into the wrong hands, that person would then have access to your saved passwords.
While we agree that this situation would be terrible, we believe that a master password would not sufficiently protect you from danger. Someone with physical access to your computer could install a keylogger to steal your passwords or go to the sites where your passwords are stored and get them from the automatically filled-in password fields. A master password required to show saved passwords would not prevent these outcomes.
Currently, the best method for protecting your saved passwords is to lock your computer whenever you step away from it, even for a short period of time. We encrypt your saved passwords on your hard disk. To access these passwords, someone would either need to log in as you or circumvent the encryption.
We know this is a long-standing issue, and we see where you're coming from. Please know that your security is our highest priority, and our decision not to implement the master password feature is based on our belief that it creates a false sense of security instead of actually providing a strong security benefit."
Also so wie das bei Firefox ist, ist das doch in meinen Augen sicher, denn auch wenn ich das Passwort nich habe und "abrechen" drücke kann ich zwar die Seiten aufruffen, die ein Passwort gespeichert haben aber da wird nix angezeigt auch nicht als Sternchen oder sonstwie.
Wenn ich das von Firefox richtig seh, ist das doch sicher?
Kann dem Argument von Google da nicht ganz folgen.
Gibts da vielleicht gar ne Extension für?
