I think this is a hint towards what, IMO, password managers should be moving towards. I would like a password manager to really be an account manager that can do things like:
* Alert me if a site I have an account on has a publicly declared breach
* Let me manage personal details (such as associated email address, phone number, etc.) all in one place
* Tell me how often I use each account (and when I login to them from 'unusual' locations/computers)
etc.
- remir 10y agoWith Dashlane and LastPass, there's a "password changer" feature. You click on a button and it changes your password without having to login to the website. There are also alerts if a website had a data leak. iPassword does this also (Watchtower).
- nuxxx 10y agoOh, I have been fantasizing about a similar thing for about a decade! Currently my "account manager" is either an e-mail folder (I save the welcome e-mails), or my Facebook/Google account (the "authorized apps" page), and this is far from ideal. I also wish I could sign up for new websites/services using such a manager. If it already had all my personal info, it would take just one click to sign up. And maybe selecting which personal details I would like to disclose with the website. Mozilla Persona with browser integration[1] was the closest thing to that. Too bad it was abandoned.
