[QUOTE="BBQ MacSteak, post: 1323279, member: 119133"] In addition to having the Mac firewall on, antivirus and Little Snitch running, I'm wondering what else I can do to protect my information from being compromised. Specifically, I want to protect the passwords that I use to access sites including email, accounts, forums etc. I would like to know which options are best: 1] allow Firefox to remember passwords and use a master password 2] not allow Firefox to remember passwords and type in passwords each time I access sites 3] if it makes any difference, copy/paste passwords from a text file Also, some sites will ask for a password but the page that is then launched is not encrypted (according to the alert message). Can a password be intercepted in this case? [/QUOTE]
