? on Firefox Password Manager

Post by a31modela »

I have a number of remote machines that were configured incorrectly with Password manager set to save logons. I need to remotely ( via SCCM ) turn this off AND be able to delete all existing saved passwords & logons. I know I can send out a modified prefs.js but can't figure out where the pwords are saved and how I can get rid of them remotely. Is there a file I can delete to remove all of the saved logins & passwords ?

Running Win7 & FF 52

Thanks,
Steve

Here is lots of stuff about the passwords and where (what data is in what file).

Logins and passwords are stored in your profile folder. In current versions, this would be in logins.json. You would also need to delete the key3.db file.

thanks dfoulkes, I did see that. wondering if I can delete the logon.json file as well as the cert8.db & key3.db file, new prefs.js and then restart the browser. assume a new key3 & cert8 and logon.json file would get created

All of that should be recreated... but as always... make a back up of those files... JIC.
