Do you trust saving CC numbers in Firefox? (feddit.it)

I'm just scared that they're saved with reversible encryption on the disk, then malware could steal them

I recommend a password manager like Bitwarden, it has a great Firefox extension and it's very secure.

I self host vault warden, and the card auto-fill works ~70% of the time, and about half of those, the security code or the expiration doesn't work. EBay is the first one that comes to mind. I know it's the websites not following standards or conventions. It happens often enough that I remember the dates and codes now because I end up having to fill them in so often.

Protip: if a field doesn't populate, right click on it, then choose "copy name for bitwarden" (or something like that, not using FF in English), then add a custom field in the CC entry in bitwarden using that name in the clipboard. From now on on that specific page it will work

[–] lemming741@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I've done that, the js or whatever overwrites it on eBay

[–] Dehydrated@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I never had any issues with it

[–] AnonStoleMyPants@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It seems really bad at filling CC info though. Like, I don't think it works at all. I always need to copy the number separately.

I still use it but it is annoying.

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Its less annoying than having to get up to get my wallet

[–] AnonStoleMyPants@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

Oh definitely, which is why I use it.

[–] walden@sub.wetshaving.social 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not for me. It works every time. Even on pages that disable pasting into the CC box, the BitWarden extension can still fill it in.

Huh, weird that I seem to have ao much issues with it. Could be due to mostly ordering from Finnish sites and the fields are often in Finnish.
