If, for instance, you were to use a static strong password generated by, say a YubiKey, then if someone stole your laptop, they'd still not have your YubiKey.

So they'd not be able to get to your passwords.

But you would be - but using your YubiKey and Firefox Sync to recover your passwords.

Would that not work perfectly for a novice?
