Would you consider using Firefox's Password Manager  ?

Hi McCoy

Thank you for your reply.

There is one problem with your suggestion: Firefox users who value their privacy will always work in Private Browsing mode (set through about:preferences).

And Private Browsing mode disables the built-in Firefox password manager.

So, a third-party application is needed. Hence my question.

I wouldn't have suggested Firefox Password Manager, had I known that you use Private Browsing mode - sorry ....

I'm very reluctant to recommend a third-party extension, as I don't know which one would be the safest (if at all).

I hope that somebody else will be able to give you some good advice (fingers crossed).

(personally I just write down all passwords on an old fashioned piece of paper ..... )
