Securing Browser Saved Passwords

It recently became apparent to me that my online 'remembered' passwords were not being held securely.


Not only can someone write (or download) a simple script/program to gain access to the site address I have remembered a password for, the username I have used and  my actual password in clear text


...they can also get to all these details easily through Google Chrome and Firefox with next to no skill required.


In this blog I will explain the methods used to easily retrieve saved passwords and the ways in which to secure yourself against them.

Hi!

Hi! I've created this blog as a place to document interetsing bits I come accross on the net and in the real world in the hope to keep track of what I learn, to get others opinons on my own and to educate some as well!

Most of my posting will likely be tech related as I am a big fan of IT and other exciting technologies.
