You\u2019re not alone. Right now the average person has around a hundred online accounts, and that number is doubling every five years. Many of us still rely heavily on our memory to recall passwords for all those accounts, and that leads to password reuse, which is risky for privacy and security.<\/p>\n<p>Making password management easier for people is top of mind for Sandy Sage, Senior Staff Product Manager for <a href=\"https:\/\/testpilot.firefox.com\/experiments\/firefox-lockbox\">Firefox Lockbox<\/a>. I caught up with Sandy to hear more about Firefox Lockbox, her take on digital privacy and where she falls on the pronunciation of GIF.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">~ \u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0 ~ \u00a0\u00a0~<\/p>\n<p><b>What are you most excited about at Firefox right now?<br \/>\n<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/testpilot.firefox.com\/experiments\/firefox-lockbox\">Firefox Lockbox<\/a>! It\u2019s our unique take on password management, taking the passwords that people already save in the browser and breaking them out of the browser, giving people the ability to use them wherever they are.<\/p>\n<p><b>Given that there are password managers already out there, what makes Firefox Lockbox special?<br \/>\n<\/b>Other password managers provide solutions for those who already know about the security risks associated with passwords. Lockbox is for the rest of us who have issues just keeping track of our passwords. We know we should do more to protect ourselves online, but it&#8217;s not always easy or convenient. Or sometimes we just don&#8217;t have the right information to make good choices.<\/p>\n<p>Password management is part of our online hygiene. If we think of it like dental hygiene, Lockbox isn&#8217;t the correct dentist that chastises a patient for not flossing everyday. Lockbox is the good dentist that makes flossing a little easier, more available, and celebrates when a patient flosses once a week.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Firefox Lockbox:  An iPhone App For All Your Passwords\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lOniFEypZhQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>What do you do to protect your privacy online?<br \/>\n<\/b>My take on privacy isn\u2019t about the big dramatic changes. It\u2019s the little things we do. I use <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/firefox\/tracking-protection-always-on\/\">Firefox\u2019s tracking protection<\/a> to prevent the unwanted stalking. I manage my settings on Facebook to control who sees what I post. I avoid providing personal information just because it\u2019s a field on a form or a questionnaire. It\u2019s the little things. I try to keep privacy in the back of my mind, but if I can\u2019t set and forget it, I\u2019m not likely to do it.<\/p>\n<p><b>What privacy or security issue would you like people to think more about?<\/b><br \/>\nI\u2019d love to see people think more about their digital identity the way they do their physical identity. Usernames and passwords are the keys to your online identity. I\u2019d like to see people think about and keep track of usernames and passwords like they are the physical keys to their house or car. You wouldn\u2019t use the same key to your home for your vehicle. You keep those separate and distinctive. That said, I think it\u2019s incumbent upon us at Firefox to give people the tools to conveniently do that. And that is what we\u2019re trying to do with Lockbox.<\/p>\n<p><b>What is one digital tool that you consider essential to your daily life?<br \/>\n<\/b>I\u2019d have to say <a href=\"https:\/\/slack.com\/\">Slack<\/a>. Professionally with project management, it\u2019s all about effective communication. I collaborate with a number of people and teams here at Mozilla, and Slack makes that easy. I also use it to talk to my husband and friends, so I have a collection of various Slack teams. I use it because it creates personable communication \u2014 animated GIFs and emoji responses, but it actually allows us to cut through the cruft and get to the details.<\/p>\n<p><b>How do you like to disconnect?<\/b><br \/>\nI go outside. Camping or hiking or swimming in the summer. In the winter we snowboard and sled. We snowshoe. If it\u2019s an outside adventure, I\u2019m usually in.<\/p>\n<p><b>Typical breakfast?<br \/>\n<\/b>Coffee. I use enough cream and sugar to count it as breakfast.<\/p>\n<p><b>Cats or dogs?<br \/>\n<\/b>Both. I live in pet hair.<\/p>\n<p><b>Android or iOS?<br \/>\n<\/b>iOS, but i\u2019m moving to Android. Being a cross platform product manager means I get to use both.<\/p>\n<p><b>Where do you get your news?<br \/>\n<\/b>I\u2019m an NPR fanatic.<\/p>\n<p><b>Walk, bus, bike or drive?<br \/>\n<\/b>I ride a scooter to work.<\/p>\n<p><b>Wildcard! I did not see that coming. How about books: audio, digital or print?<br \/>\n<\/b>All flavors of books. I read at night on my Kindle. I read audio books in the car.
