I think I logged in with an old account when I last reviewed this, but was very happy with the developers response.
It’s great to see this is open source!

Hi,
That was an amazingly quick and concise reply, thank you!
NIST recommends the MINIMUM maximum password length to be 64 characters, I would recommend setting the maximum password length to at least that.
The great thing about long password is not just that they’re harder to crack, it’s easier to remember them and make them unique by using passphrases, for example:
“John walked to the store to get some milk” is easy to remember and actually quite secure. (NOTE: no one use this pass phrase, it’s just an example!)
Thank you so much for providing a link to the library it uses, it gives me so much confidence that you’re open about what’s being used and how etc...
Great work!

- Csillagos értékelés: 1 / 5készítette: Dan, egy hónapjaDoesn't work with the latest firefox. No folder created. There is a purple star on the extensions tab but you can't even click on it.

- Csillagos értékelés: 5 / 5készítette: Firefox felhasználó 14773089, 3 hónapjaVery simple extension. Works well for me on Firefox 135.0 as of February 2025. It would be nice to be able to customize the location of the Private Bookmarks folder (mainly so the "Other Bookmarks" folder doesn't get involved), but that's super minor.

- Csillagos értékelés: 1 / 5készítette: JohnyJohny, 8 hónapjaexactly the same problem as many people here. The app is excellent until the password doesn't work and you lost all your bookmarks. For me, it's the second time and I quite.
It's mentionned that you have to make regulary backup but bookmarks are not enough critical to setup a professionnel backup process, we don't want to worry about backup. - It works until it doesn't. I found exactly the same as many other reviewers: this add-on has a lot of great features, and it works well... until it doesn't. The Private Bookmarks password fails to work after some time. Twice I used this add-on to save bookmarks... and twice, for no apparent reason, the password is no longer remembered by the extension, so I can't unlock these bookmarks. With that, the bookmarks are gone forever. This is a great concept that unfortunately fails at a critical point.

- It worked great for months until it didn't.
I'm not sure what broke it but possibly my MacOS upgrade to 14.6. Suddenly Firefox wouldn't respond to the Shift-Option-8 hotkey, which is where you enter your password.
I tried reinstalling the add-on, rebooting, etc. Unfortunately, it's evident that I also lost all those private bookmarks in the process, which weren't so much private but archived in Private Bookmarks so they wouldn't be accidentally deleted.
I filed a bug report with the developer last week but I haven't received an acknowledgement of it and the bug hasn't been assigned. - Csillagos értékelés: 1 / 5készítette: Firefox felhasználó 13906799, egy éveThis stopped working after the latest FF update. Password does not unlock bookmarks. Broken and abandoned extension by the dev.

- I have used this addon for 4-5 years without a hazzle. But this morning it stopped accepted my password.
Luckily I make weekly backups of the mozilla folder so I still have access to my hidden links by restoring the latest backup with a working password.
So I will recommend doing backups in case the password suddenly fails. - Csillagos értékelés: 5 / 5készítette: Firefox felhasználó 18254210, egy éve
