They are saved in an encrypted form.  Have you set a master password?



They're saved encrypted *iff* you have set the master password. If you 
don't, there's multiple tools out there that can extract saved content. 
I know specifically that extraction is possible with one of the tools at 
https://nirsoft.net/ . I think I remember testing this one against 
setups with and without master password set.


I believe that there's also a tool at Security xPloded. I haven't tried 
that one, and I'm guessing that it's Firefox-focused, but it probably 
will extract Seamonkey content if you point it at the right folder.


I keep the whole Nirsoft set in my downloads collection. I've never had 
to extract unencrypted passwords, but I find that those tools are useful 
if I want to demonstrate to users just how vulnerable they are. I work 
under the assumption that there's malware that includes scanners for 
passwords saved in Mozilla products.

passwords in profile

2019-02-28 Thread meagain

May I assume that passwords are saved in the user profile?

If I then save a copy of the directories with the profile on a cloud 
service, like Onedrive, could those passwords etc be seen?
