| signons3.txt stores saved user names and passwords. It also stores a list of sites for which passwords are never saved. The Options/Preferences dialog contains a UI to view and remove the passwords. This file is encrypted to help prevent others with access to your computer from seeing your passwords.<br>
| |
| If you do not use a Master Password then having access to both key3.db and signons3.txt will give access to the passwords, so use a Master Password to prevent that.
| |
| | |
| Signons3.txt is used instead of signons2.txt in Firefox 3
| |
| | |
| ==Editing==
| |
| Manually editing signons3.txt is not recommended because its contents are encrypted and there is a UI to do common tasks.
| |
| It is possible though to copy a full name and password section from the file in one profile to another profile provided that you have the same [[key3.db]] in both profiles.
| |
| | |
| The file's contents are as follows:
| |
| | |
| #2e
| |
| (list of domains for which passwords are never saved)
| |
| .
| |
| (site with a saved password)
| |
| (name of HTML user name field or blank for HTTP authentication)
| |
| (encrypted user name)
| |
| *(name of HTML password field or blank for HTTP authentication)
| |
| (encrypted password)
| |
| (the domain of the log in form)
| |
| (a filler line for future expansion, currently: '---')
| |
| .
| |
| (more entries like the one above)
| |
| | |
| ==Moving==
| |
| This file can be moved to a different profile as long as it is moved with [[key3.db]], which is the encryption key.
| |
| | |
| ==Deleting==
| |
| Deleting signons3.txt will delete your saved user names, passwords, and "never save" password settings. If you have a [[signons.txt]] or [[signons2.txt]] file, it will be migrated into this file.
