WebVault Firefox

WebVault

WebVault is a simple password manager browser extension that makes use of the Vault password manager framework to generate your passwords upon use so they are never stored anywhere, making them impossible to steal.

Features & Capabilities

WebVault is a simple password manager browser extension designed for people who love the safety and flexibility of the Vault password system but dislike interrupting their browsing flow to fire up their console or open getvau.lt to grab their passwords. WebVault remembers your service names and password options for each site, and allows you to autofill your passwords after unlocking your vault with your passphrase. This cuts the process of retrieving a password down to clicking the WebVault icon, typing in your passphrase and hitting autofill, all without having to switch pages.

Your passphrase is never stored to disk anywhere at any time, it only lives in sandboxed JavaScript memory for the limited amount of time that you have your WebVault opened. Your service data and preferences are encrypted with AES using your passphrase and saved using Web Storage Sync API so you can have access to them anywhere by logging into your browser (e.g. via Firefox sync, or a Google account). You can also sync your data to a RemoteStorage account, where it can be stored in an encrypted format that can only be decoded with your passphrase.

Is WebVault Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

WebVault requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
