Firefox Lockwise passordbehandler er nå tilgjengelig

Mozilla har presentert app for password management Firefox Lockwise, which was developed under the code name Lockbox. Lockwise includes mobile applications for Android and iOS that allow users to access their saved Firefox passwords on any device without needing to install Firefox on them. It supports password autofill in authentication forms of any mobile applications. The project code distribueres under MPL 2.0-lisens.

uses the built-in synchronization features of the Firefox browser and an account in Firefox Account. Devices with Lockwise connect to the synchronization system similarly to how different instances of the browser connect. AES-256-GCM block cipher and keys based on PBKDF2 and HKDF with SHA-256 hashing are used to protect the data. The protocol is involved in the transmission of keys Onepw, which ensures that the key is stored on the user's side and applies end-to-end encryption without storing decrypted data or keys on an external server. The key for encryption is based on the username and password specified for the account, and the account is only used for transit storage of already encrypted data.

In addition to mobile applications, the project utvikles offers the Lockwise browser extension, providing an alternative to the built-in interface in Firefox for managing saved passwords. When the extension is installed, a button appears in the toolbar, allowing quick access to accounts saved for the current site, as well as performing search and editing operations on passwords. Currently, the extension is in an experimental development phase (alpha version) and cannot yet function when installed in a browser with a master password. Work is ongoing arbeid to include Lockwise in the main Firefox suite as a system extension.

The Lockwise mobile applications are in beta testing, but the first stable release planlagt is expected next week. The applications have telemetry enabled by default with summarized information about application performance. å sende Meanwhile, in the standard Firefox password manager

I mellomtiden, i standard passordbehandleren til Firefox er det lagt til muligheten til å håndtere kontoer i konteksten av toppnivådomener, som gjør det mulig å tilby ett passord lagret for alle underdomener. For eksempel, passordet som er lagret for login.example.com vil nå bli foreslått for autofullføring i skjemaer på nettstedet www.example.com. Endringen vil bli inkludert i Firefox 69.

I Firefox 69 er det også planlagt inkludering prioritetsadministrasjonsverktøyet prosesser, som endre rekkefølge, kopiere og slette sider i dokumentet. å sende informasjon til operativsystemet om de mest prioriterte prosessene. For eksempel vil prosessen for innholdsbehandling som håndterer den aktive fanen få høyere prioritet (tildelt flere CPU-ressurser) enn prosessen knyttet til bakgrunnsfanene (hvis det ikke spilles av video og lyd). Endringen er foreløpig planlagt å være aktivert som standard kun for Windows-plattformen, mens de andre systemene må aktivere alternativet dom.ipc.processPriorityManager.enabled i about:config.
