How good are the password managers in Chrome and Firefox?
I was a Lastpass user. I have since moved to Keepass, because I liked the idea of switching to something that was local. But Keepass presents challenges and on iOS devices, and neither solution supports Gnome Web, which is my preferred browser on my desktop.With the release of Gnome 3.26, Gnome Web will now sync with Firefox Sync and allow me to sync my bookmarks and passwords. This would allow me to use Gnome Web on my Linux machine and use Firefox on my Windows and Mac machines at home and work, and be able to maintain password information across platforms.I know Keepass, and I trust Lastpass (for the most part), but I know nothing about the Firefox sync infrastructure and how secure it is.Anyone have insights into how secure Firefox sync is?

Cable modem user/pass discoverable?
This post may be 80% rant and 20% inquisitive.I bought a cable modem. Got rid of the one we have been paying a monthly fee for and hookup the new one. The modem powers up and self configures. First thing I do is change the admin password and ssid. Plug everything in that used to be connected to the old modem and restart the modem. Everything comes up fine. Nice. Goodbye monthly bill.The next thing I do is plug a laptop in to the modem and go to speedtest.net. I am redirected to a Centurylink "hello" web page. The page lets me know there is additional configuration necessary. I am miffed, but click the next button. It asks me to provide some account holder identifying info, which I do.The next window displays the new ssid and new cable modem admin password. wtf? It asks me to write down this important information and I give my computer screen the middle finger. I click next and "configuration" is complete.Am I naive to assume that ISPs (or anyone with the know how) should not be able to discover the admin password for a modem I own? I feel I have lost the security I assumed I had on my home network. Please don't park outside my house and access my home network. Thanks for being considerate.Edit: apostrophes are hard
