			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey Team, it&#8217;s time for another Quick Tip! This one&#8217;s a follow-up on my post <a title="Bookmarks Are Back With Xmarks" href="http://www.serializethis.com/2010/02/08/bookmarks-are-back-with-xmarks/" target="_blank">Bookmarks Are Back With Xmarks</a>, where I discussed synchronisation of bookmarks between computers and browsers. In the post I mentioned:</p>
<blockquote><p>Now to be honest, the mobile interface isn’t very strong. It’s not a genuine replacement for native bookmarks, but apparently there’s an iPhone application in the works.</p></blockquote>
<p>Well until that iPhone application eventuates, I&#8217;ve come up with a quick fix. It&#8217;s not perfect, but it uses the native iPhone bookmark system which is a whole lot better.</p>
<h3>Step 1: Download Xmarks for Internet Explorer</h3>
<p>You can get the installation from <a title="Download Xmarks for IE" href="http://download.xmarks.com/download/ie" target="_blank">here</a>. Just do it. I know you don&#8217;t like Internet Explorer, and neither do I.</p>
<h3>Step 2: Login and Setup</h3>
<p>Make sure you choose to keep the server bookmarks and delete your local favourites! Otherwise you&#8217;ll end up with the useless default Microsoft links everywhere.</p>
<p>You could set up a separate mobile profile, but I&#8217;ve been using my home profile instead and it seems to work for me.</p>
<h3>Step 3: Enable iTunes Bookmark Sync</h3>
<p>Plug in your iPhone, open iTunes, and click on the Info tab. Select the option to &#8220;Sync bookmarks with Internet Explorer&#8221;, and click Sync!</p>

<h3>Step 4: Comment</h3>
<p>That&#8217;s it, you&#8217;re done. So comment on this post and tell me how it works for you, because as Jeff says, <a title="A Blog Without Comments Is Not a Blog" href="http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000538.html" target="_blank">A Blog Without Comments Is Not a Blog</a>. That&#8217;s all for today!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I first found this out, I was shocked. By default, Firefox gives users the ability to view a list of all your saved usernames and passwords, as well as the sites they&#8217;re associated with. Check it out for yourself by going to Tools &gt; Options&#8230; &gt; Security &gt; Saved Passwords.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-111" title="firefox-saved-passwords" src="http://www.serializethis.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/firefox-saved-passwords.png" alt="Firefox Saved Passwords" width="523" height="490" /></p>
<p>Not a good thing. What if someone jumped onto my computer when I forget to lock it? They&#8217;ll find out that my passwords are <em>cooldude</em>, <em>password</em>, and <em>ilikepink</em>, which will be really embarrassing. Luckily, there&#8217;s an easy fix. Go to Tools &gt; Options&#8230; &gt; Security, check the &#8220;Use a master password&#8221; box and set a (strong) password. Periodically, and whenever you startup the browser, you&#8217;ll be asked for this password. Without it, prying eyes won&#8217;t be able to see your password list or automatically login to Facebook and pretend to be you.</p>
