FireMaster - The Firefox Master Password Recovery Tool
FireMaster is the First ever tool to recover the lost Master Password of Firefox. Master password is used by Firefox to protect the stored loign/password information for all visited websites. If the master password is forgotten, then there is no way to recover the master password and user will lose all the passwords stored in it. However you can now use FireMaster to recover the forgotten master password and get back all the stored Login/Passwords. FireMaster supports Dictionary, Hybrid, Brute-force and advanced Pattern based Brute-force password cracking techniques to recover from simple to complex password. Advanced pattern based password recovery mechanism reduces cracking time significantly especially when the password is complex. FireMaster is successfully tested with all versions of Firefox starting from 1.0 to latest version v13.0.1. It works on wide range of platforms starting from Windows XP to Windows 8. |
| Firefox Password Manager and Master Password |
Firefox comes with built-in password manager tool which remembers username and passwords for all the websites you visit. This login/password information is stored in the encrypted form in Firefox database files residing in user's profile directory. However any body can just launch the password manager from the Firefox browser and view the credentials. Also one can just copy these database files to different machine and view it offline using the tools such as FirePassword. |
Hence to protect from such threats, Firefox uses master password to provide enhanced security. By default Firefox does not set the master password. However once you have set the master password, you need to provide it every time to view login credentials. So if you lose the master password then that means you have lost all the stored passwords as well. |
So far there was no way to recover these credentials once you have lost the master password. Now the FireMaster can help you to recover the master password and get back all the sign-on information.  |
