Encryption algorithm used for passwords database & sync
Hi there, 1. What is the encryption algorithm used by Firefox to store saved passwords locally ? 2. What is the encryption algorithm used by Firefox to store synced passwords on Mozilla's servers ?
I am talking about Firefox 57+ A master password has been set.
Thank you.

Did this answer your question? If so mark as solution.
Nothing on that page - maybe one of links? Also, nothing there on LOCAL encryption.
On forums only some info about deprecated and insecure 3DES but nothing more...
See:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_DES - Triple DES (CBC mode)
So it is still using 3DES - that is too bad :(
