    Saving passwords in your web browser is risky business

    It is surprisingly easy for someone to get all your saved passwords from your Firefox browser

    I basically viewed all my passwords in Chrome from my previous OS when I reloaded my PC... Firstly because I wanted to store those passwords in Chrome again in my new OS... and secondly because I had no clue what some of those passwords were
    Sure it's not the most secure way to go about passwords, but it still beats writing it on a post-it and sticking it on the corner of the screen.

    No guts, no glory, no brain, same story.

    That's why its a good idea to use a tool like Lastpass or onepassword...

    Or Passwordsafe. Although passwordsafe isn't web based, which is a great feature of Lastpass
