Build ID: 20111128031052

Steps to reproduce:

Provide method to securely log in to third party apps using passwords stored by Fennec/Sync. I'm sure it's not as simple as it sounds, but it would be an amazing feat.

Can you add more details and examples of what this means and how it could work?

I was thinking of something like going to a site and clicking an export password to app option in the site menu whereby you can select the app and it puts the password into the password box and then deletes it from the clipboard.
