When you visit a Web site that requires authentication or attempt to connect to remote computers, you are given the option to save your password so that the next time you visit the page or attempt to access a remote resource, you do not have to reenter your password. This feature can be a huge convenience, especially if you access a particular Web site or resource frequently. The downside to this convenience is the potential for horrible security and privacy problems. Essentially, you are taking the password off all of the sites and resources for which you saved a password. Anyone who has physical access to your computer can get in using your username and password, even if they do not know your password.
1. Open Mozila Firefox.
2. Click on Tools -> options -> Security -> Seved Passwords -> Show Passwords -> Yes.
3. The Stored User Names and Passwords window will load, showing you a list of all of the accounts that are saved on your computer.
4. To remove a saved password, select the account on the list and click the Remove
button.
5. Repeat the previous steps for any other accounts that you want to remove.
6. When you are finished, just click Close.
You can also use the Stored User Names and Passwords window to add more user names and passwords to your computer.
