Firefox should have a plug-in with the extensive capabilities of KeePass for secure password management

Sounds scary. My fault. I’m catching the cold of the season.

I have to say again that I am really irritated by the increasing use of Google Groups as a Mozilla communication channel. You have your own NNTP server – why not use that?

It’s very exciting that you are headed this direction and thinking about all of this. Look forward to the progress and awareness that you will be bringing to the community.

I’m just your average web browser…

However, I use the same Username, LonerGoth, everywhere I go on the net, some, 15, 16 sites I actually ‘frequent’ and I pretty much use the same password with minor changes…

So is any improvement needed? surely its a matter for the site admins to re-make their sites to incorporate twitter accounts and open id synch to present accounts, and not the browsers own fault at all?

This is really encouraging to read. If a browser like Firefox can double-up as an interface for managing one’s online life, that’s the Holy Grail of social media found. I think a lot of it will come to down to making the incoming data feeds (eg. Twitter), and the outgoing publications (eg. status updates), easy to review and edit swiftly.

Good luck

Some years ago I started working on a project called DIAS: Decentralized Identity and Authentication System: http://weeno.net/dias/

The rough idea is to enable people to use a JID to identify on the web, be it on websites or in fact any kind of authenticated transation.

It’s a 4-step mechanism:
1. You ask a ticket to the “server” (website or similar entity) using your JID, via Jabber
2. They give you a ticket
3. You provide it on the “server”, via its original communication channel (e.g. HTTP)
4. The server checks it and lets you in, associating your session with your JID.

I use 1password, that does all those things for me. I´d prefer to have it synchronized via internet / server. So it would be possible to log me in at every computer with firefox and have access to my identities, passwords, …
