It's a common feature of password managers.
- whyagaindavid 10y agoHonest question: Why does any none need password managers? Does not chrome password sync or firefox sync do the job? Thanks
- gtufano 10y agoSome of us still use native applications that don't use Chrome or Firefox.
- guitarbill 10y agoTo generate random, strong passwords. Also not to be locked into a browser. Better actual password management (e.g. last changed). Tags. A canary of chrome did have the ability to generate random passwords, but password management in chrome is still a pain IMO. Not sure about FF, but a quick google suggests it doesn't generate random passwords automatically.
- icebraining 10y agoFF doesn't, but as usual, there are addons for that :)
- icebraining 10y agoChrome and Firefox are password managers :) People use other managers for many reasons: storing passwords (and other secrets) which aren't used on a site, using them on different browsers (say, Safari on the desktop and Chrome on mobile) and lack of trust on the browser's password manager. Also, for a long time, browsers didn't save passwords with forms marked with autocomplete=off.
- ashitlerferad 10y agoCan any open source password managers do this?
- emillon 10y agoWhen I used pwsafe and keepassx they had this option.
