And, I think we can go a long way in fixing the password problem without having
to depend on custom hardware. I’d like to see us invest in fixing/improving
our built-in password manager and autofill in Firefox. Many 3rd party password
managers have made huge strides in reducing the friction of creating unique
high-entropy passwords without relaying on custom hardware. I use such a
product and it is a game changer — I don’t know any of my password but the
master password.
So maybe before we write code to support a new token, we figure out what the
Firefox plan around password management is?
btw, neither LastPass nor 1Password are e10s-compatible, which is a big
risk for Firefox users. (See bugs 1008768 and 1042195, respectively.)
Passwords are a major usability hassle and security risk. Password leaks
even make mainstream news. Mozilla could be leading in this space with a
strong story around password management that regular users could
understand. And with Firefox Account integration between desktop and
Android, it could be an opportunity to upsell Android users on Fennec.
