Firefox to warn users when passwords have been stolen by hackers.
You can’t spend hours
combing through archives of breached data to see if your login
credentials were leaked, so Mozilla’s rebranded in-browser password
manager, Lockwise, will soon
notify users if their saved usernames or passwords were
exposed in a data breach, and recommend that they change them. Mozilla’s
feature, pointed out by TechDow based
on Mozilla bug reports, is already available through third-party password managers like 1Password,
but is being introduced as part of Mozilla’s Lockwise service that’s
integrated right into Firefox, and which automatically syncs login
details across the desktop, iOS, and Android versions of the browser.
Breached passwords and login credentials will be flagged
within the Lockwise interface, with a small warning icon appearing next
to logins that require the user’s attention.
