Remember your usernames and passwords Use Sxipper Firefox extension

Managing multiple passwords is complex. Internet users often have too many passwords to remember. Each password may expire on a different schedule and be subject to different policies about password composition. This complexity lads people to give up and select trivial passwords, or even worse, use one password for everything.

Sxipper is a free Firefox add-on that lets you log in to any website with a single click. Sxipper saves you time by keeping track of an unlimited number of usernames and passwords as well as the personal data you share every day over the web. Sxipper improves your security by creating strong passwords when registering, and stores them and your personal data securely in an encrypted store on your computer.

Sxipper has a built-in support for Identity 2.0 authentication mechanism, an open, standards-based, identity model. Identity 2.0 describes the concept of an identity that can be trusted and used anywhere and requires no centralized consultation with the ID authority that issues the credential.

RoboForm is Top-rated Password Manager and Web Form Filler that completely automates password entering and form filling.

Vulnerability in Google’s XSSploding Gadgets

RSnake revealed a cross site scripting vulnerability affecting Google Gadgets in the gmodules.com domain.
This XSS hole allows anybody to store his/her own web content, including JavaScript code, anywhere and to have it rendered and executed in the context of the gmodules.com domain, with no further validation of sort.

RSnake responsibly reported his finding to Google before resorting to public disclosure, but the G guys answered that this behavior is “by design” and won’t be fixed.

What does it mean?

For the average user, such a vulnerability means that phishers can effectively exploit a site owned by Google as a free hosting facility, making quite impractical blacklisting and/or shutting down the scam: don’t forget Firefox’s built-in anti-phishing blacklist is provided by Google itself.
