Unsolved Password Eye
-
Hello, is there any option to disable that dangerous eye next to saved password when I/somebody goes to website, where I have saved my password without going in to settings and putting in my Windows Account Credentials to see all passwords please? Because its easy to go to site by site (list of sites you have in stored passwords) and collect all passwords I/somebody wants... If not, maybe you may do that feature please... Whole password protection doesn't have any sense then... Or maybe, you may do some kind of master password/encryption and protect saved passwords like in someway of passwords managers...
Just for fun I tried to open passwords in DBViewer on Sandbox (without internet of couse), and I did not found the way to see passwords, only user names and sites, so at least password db file is encrypted in some way...
THX a lot guys!

@dim0n1 If you let "somebody" use
- Your Computer
and - Your O.S. login (instead of a guest login)
and - Your Vivaldi profile (instead of "Guest" profile)
You cannot expect any data privacy!
- Your Computer

@TbGbe This is not for what I asked, whatever... I'' try ti explain it... I'm only one user, who use that PC, but because I'm only one user, I use Autologon from SysInternals, because my password is freaking long...
There is no Guest account activated, not even in OS, not even in Vivaldi (if it even possible to do), but imagine for example, you have a visit, or new girlfriend, who will try to spy on you, because she don't believe to partners, or I don't know, for example police will take your PC, because you forgot to pay something and they did not even send to you any warning, and those people may see your saved passwords... and even if will not use Autologon, with Linux and chntpw I'll change your password without any problem with only 1 !!! command, and I'll log in to your PC, so in this care, another layer of protection is on the place... Got it? Now, can you please help me with disabling that uncovering eye? Thank you... -
@dim0n1 said in Password Eye:

If you click your profile picture on the edge of the address/url bar you can "instantly" switch to a Guest Profile.
https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/tabs/guest-view/for example police will take your PC
You're joking, right
If you are serious; I won't discuss this anymore, sorry!!
-
@dim0n1 can't be disabled and a master password is unlikely to happen.
If you are worried about being spied you shouldn't use autologon or storing passwords in the browser.
-
@TbGbe with police it was extreme example, ok, but with angry girlfriend it possible
Guest profile is a default profile... -
@Hadden89 as I said before, even without autologon I can get to any windows pc account (whatever is local or not), by changing account password using linux boot usb with chntpw tool for example, so as I understand, really if you want to be really sure, just not store passwords anywhere... and its enough to have small usb key with ISOs Win 10 / 11 versions and Kali Linux

@dim0n1 If you need a protected Windows access use a encrypted drive (f.ex. with VeraCrypt) and no person can get information when the PC was stolen or seized by police.
-
@DoctorG THX for recommendation!!! At the end, yes, why just not encrypt whole drive, is it possible to encrypt system drive too plz, and how much it will degrade PC performance plz??
Can anything protect you, if you will be logged in? I'm quite learning about security and as I understand, if you want to be 100% sure, you need to have a paranoid look on that
BTW as I know, BitLocker was already cracked
-
@dim0n1 Read what it says about Veracrypt on Softronics.
I don’t see the point of encrypting the system drive, which holds all of your installed programs. That would slow things down. Keep all sensitive data on one or more encrypted drives. If you store a lot of sensitive videos, that might be a problem.
-
@Pesala At the end question was about to protect my stored passwords in Vivaldi (and probably in many others broswers), where is that stupid eye, which shows stored passwords without any protection, so you can see them one by one by visiting a website, luckily not all websites supports that eye thing, but still, for example EpicGames and many others are very happy to show that password without any hesitation, I did upload short video on YT here: https://youtu.be/ENRp71ulmdM
-
@dim0n1 If you install Vivaldi as a Standalone version on a VeraCrypt drive, even someone logged in to your user account cannot open Vivaldi or any data files on the encrypted drive, unless they know the password to decrypt the encrypted drive.
The password is not stored anywhere; you have to type it in every time you want to access data or programs on that drive.

@Pesala thx a lot!
