I agree with you that if you've entered the master password already, the it is an issue unless you restart the browser. It would be great if there was a button or keycombo I could press to relock the password manager, but your method doesn't provide for that either so I was simply saying that it offers better protection.
> It's basically a matter of how much you trust other people who you leave at your PC. > If you're paranoid about such things it's better to quickly create a new system account, lock your current window manager login, and then login to the new window manager as the new user (and make sure that your home directory permissions are secure). Well if you want to remain secure then you can't really trust them at all. Even if you trust them, you may have others who rely on you not to trust other people with that data. It's not necessary about paranoia, it could just be about security. The problem with your solution is that it will make your fiends, girlfriend, associates etc. think badly of you. You can't let people know that you are going out of your way because you don't trust them, because that offends people which will then impact on you. :) Restarting firefox is much easier to disguise. But as I said, the ideal solution would be to be able to hit a button or key combo to relock the manager. However my point was that disk encryption won't protect you in this situation at all. I'm assuming if you unmounted the encrypted folder then things would just stop working? -- Password asked separately for each tab that requires it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195698 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
