Not really a command line/unix question necessarily, but I haven't
had much luck finding info elsewhere.
When I go to my keychain application there is an entry for "Safari
Forms AutoFill" that says:
"Used to decode the encrypted file that contains non-password data
previously entered in web page forms."
Now when I click the "show" button and enter my password I get
something that looks like an encrypted pass or a key?
In my case it's something like this (i've changed some characters for
security):
1a>!<a2a'vd^3j
}p(Wxaxc*
So what is this? What file does it decrypt? Where is that file? If
someone has my password and I've used auto fill for purchases (which
I don't) would they then have my cc#s?
Curious to know if this is a dangerous piece of info or not (assuming
you have valuable info in your autofill).
But more, I'm just curious what file it is referring to and what kind
of encryption?
any info appreciated,
Ben Gold
