Hi,
I have in the passed month reinstalled my Linux PC. during that process I recently my Firefox account and set my master password.
Yesterday, I re-synced Firefox.
Today I found out that my Firefox master password has been reset and anyone who could access my desktop would have complete access to any of my websites not protected by two factor authentication.
Is the master password synced?
So I have immediately reset it to the old password. as an initial step to protect my passwords locally.
I will shortly create a new random password and apply that as a new master password.
None of my website accounts appear to be compromised, yet. I have checked the ones I am most concerned about all of which have two factor authentication. I have not checked all of them by a long way.
I have several questions:
What can cause this?
What is at risk when this happens?
What should I do once I have discovered that my master password has been reset?
Should I change all the passwords of all my accounts?
If someone got access to my Firefox account could they re-sync to a different machine and have access to all my personal website data?
How can I protect against such a total disaster. At the moment the protection on this account is a password and an Authenticator App second line of defense. Although I was not asked for 2FA when logging into your support.
