concerning security

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



hi all,

we noted that browsers are storing webmail url, userid and password for the email accounts. for example in firefox browser this is easily seen under tools > options > security > saved passwords.

using ssl just encrypts the connection during transmission but the ssl url , email id and password gets stored in the browser

my question is how to how to tackle this issue so that even if a malware gets into some user's computer and gets the information it will be useless.

ie Obfuscate url, userid and password or ensure that that information stored in browser is incomplete and cannot be used.

thanks,
rajesh
