Better yet, don't store any passwords in your browser - use a proper password manager.
- cjhopman 8y agoChrome's password manager has a much, much better security record than any "proper password manager".
- 45h34jh53k4j 8y agoWhat? Noo... When you consider the chrome password manager you must consider the chrome binary as a whole. Chrome has had significantly more security issues than 100% of password managers. Of course -- its a more complex set of code. Its about surface area. A password manager that has no browser integration is by its nature less likely to be compromised, as there are far less vectors of exploitation. Don't store your passwords in the browser. Use a proper password manager. How its gets from PM to B is up to your risk appetite.
- always_good 8y agoNot really. For one, anybody that can use your computer can see a plaintext list of your Chrome passwords directly from the Chrome options menu. It's an incredibly primitive system.
- foolfoolz 8y agothis part though we usually have good defense against. how many people are using your computer? do you have a login with a password? do you have FDE? when was the last time you handed your laptop over for someone to use without you being right there? the browser password managers are good enough for most uses
