Mozilla Firefox and Opera provide access to a password manager in the browser that can be used to manage passwords in the browser.

ChromePass is a new software program by Nirsoft that can display the most relevant information that have been saved in Google Chrome. The browser provides a basic password manager. The Google Chrome password manager displays the url of the website and the username by default and provides a Show Password button to display the password as well.

The data cannot be copied which is one of the major disadvantages of the Chrome password manager. Chromepass displays the data that has been stored in Google Chrome. The application displays additional parameters like the action url, data and the names of the user and password fields.

The passwords can be saved as txt files or generated as html files. Several command line parameters are available that can be used to save the list of passwords automatically. Chromepass is a portable application for Microsoft Windows operating systems.

I guess we all found ourselves in a situation where we were working on a second computer trying to remember the password of a website that we wanted to visit.

Firefox Password Exporter exports all passwords to an XML or CSV file with the option to encrypt them to increase security. (The file can still be imported to Firefox where all passwords are visible) The very same file can then be used on another computer to import the passwords into Firefox. All websites saved this way can be accessed without having to remember the password.

I would like to remind everyone again to set a master password in Firefox if other users have access to the computer. If you do not have a master password everyone may export the password list from your account.

If a master password is set it will ask for that password before starting the password export. The extension can be accessed by clicking on the button Import / Export Passwords under Options > Security.
