Honest question: Why does any none need password managers? Does not chrome password sync or firefox sync do the job? Thanks

  Some of us still use native applications that don't use Chrome or Firefox.

  To 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.

    FF doesn't, but as usual, there are addons for that :)

  Chrome 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.
