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

same is possible from Chrome

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

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.
