  • Interesting, I tend to worry less about the password store than external password managers. Maybe you are onto something and I should research it further. But the breaches I hear about have all been with external managers. I particularly don’t want anything uploading passwords to remote storage. If I have to share a password between two machines (laptop and phone), I just transfer it manually. Another minor nuisance.


  • I just set fennec to delete all the cookies and stuff when I “quit” from the pulldown menu. Yeah that logs me off of sites but that’s ok, I use the built in password store to log back in quickly. If I just close the browser rather than selecting “quit”, the cookies stay around. So I use “quit” when I want to get rid of the cookies, maybe a few times a day.










  • If it’s from a memorable phrase, then the phrase has a lot of redundancy and it’s hard to estimate the actual entropy. Generating a random phrase and writing it on a slip of paper works for me. Keep the paper in your pocket and refer to it when you need to, instead of trying to memorize it. Once you’ve typed it into the computer a few times, you remember it automatically. At that point you can swallow the paper or use your favorite alternate secure disposal method ;).
