Password Managers and Sandboxing

[dhawkz]

I use a Password Manager and need to know if there is any way I can prevent a hacker accessing the data apart from using a Firewall.

You can Sandbox so that the Manager itself writes data to the Sandboxed area of the hard disk and can be barred from accessing the internet etc, but I need this in reverse. So if someone gained access to my computer and bypassed the firewall they couldn't see the Password Manager data as it would be stored in an area that is barred from being accessed from an incoming connection and segregated from the actual hard disk.

Hope this makes sense.

The password manager database should be encrypted. I think you're over thinking it, or have bigger enemies than me.

If the password database is encrypted and you have a password for said database there really isn't an issue.

I personally don't use a password manager. I use an addon for Mozilla based browsers called PWDHash.

Looks like there's a port for Chrome too. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pwdhash-port/dnfmcfhnhnpoehjoommondmlmhdoonca?hl=en-US
