I loaded a program (System Information for Windows) and noticed that it was able to display all of my stored passwords. If this application (and others that I have seen on the web) can do this, why can't a Trojan use the same algorithm to read all of my stored passwords? FF says the passwords are encrypted but they don't seem to be or else the encryption key is easy to obtain.
