This is a proposal for revamping the Master Password feature currently found in the Firefox Password Manager, as part of the Cloud Services Password Manager work.

The main goal is to have a password manager that is:

  • safe from local attackers (e.g. nosy family members can't get to it)
  • available online and offline (i.e. no need to be online to unlock it)
  • recoverable by email in case the master password is forgotten
