How to Recover Your Firefox Master Password

lifehacker.com

If you’re using Firefox’s built-in password management, you should also be using its master password feature to protect your saved passwords from prying eyes. But what happens if you lose your master password?

Since the master password prevents anyone from accessing your saved passwords, you’re out of luck if you lose your master password—that is, you can’t access any of your saved credentials without it.

That’s where the free, open source tool FireMaster comes in. FireMaster is a command line tool designed specifically to recover your master password from Firefox. Here’s how to use it:

1. Download FireMaster and extract it to a folder on your desktop.
2. Open a command prompt. (Shortcut: Hit Win+R, type cmd, then hit Enter.)
3. At the command prompt, change the FireMaster folder to your active directory. The quickest way to do this is to type cd , then drag and drop the FireMaster folder from your Desktop onto the command prompt—which will automatically fill in the path to that folder. Then just hit Enter.
