I'm just scared that they're saved with reversible encryption on the disk, then malware could steal them

I recommend a password manager like Bitwarden, it has a great Firefox extension and it's very secure.

I self host vault warden, and the card auto-fill works ~70% of the time, and about half of those, the security code or the expiration doesn't work. EBay is the first one that comes to mind. I know it's the websites not following standards or conventions. It happens often enough that I remember the dates and codes now because I end up having to fill them in so often.

Protip: if a field doesn't populate, right click on it, then choose "copy name for bitwarden" (or something like that, not using FF in English), then add a custom field in the CC entry in bitwarden using that name in the clipboard. From now on on that specific page it will work

I actually didn’t know that. Thanks for the tip!

[-] lemming741@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I've done that, the js or whatever overwrites it on eBay

[-] Dehydrated@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I never had any issues with it

It seems really bad at filling CC info though. Like, I don't think it works at all. I always need to copy the number separately.

I still use it but it is annoying.

Its less annoying than having to get up to get my wallet

[-] AnonStoleMyPants@sopuli.xyz 4 points 9 months ago

Oh definitely, which is why I use it.

[-] walden@sub.wetshaving.social 6 points 9 months ago

Not for me. It works every time. Even on pages that disable pasting into the CC box, the BitWarden extension can still fill it in.

Huh, weird that I seem to have ao much issues with it. Could be due to mostly ordering from Finnish sites and the fields are often in Finnish.
