The built-in browser password managers (Chrome, iOS Safari, Firefox) are pretty popular.
But I agree that the real moral of this story is: test your login page with browser password managers. They all support multi-page login flows if you tag them correctly. (Google uses one, so they can't just ignore this problem.)
If your login page works with the built-in password managers in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, it will also work with LastPass and 1Password, too. And you're done!
- 013a 8y agoIn my experience, and from the people I've talked to; in-browser password managers are useful only when they work without messing with. People don't rely on them, they just use them when they autofill. The difference being, if you're not relying on them, then you're probably not actually using them to generate unique passwords on each site. So all its doing is remembering the few different passwords you use across many sites. Its a convenience tool, not a security tool. The one exception might be Safari's, which is without a doubt the best in-browser password manager of any of them. It proactively generates new passwords, and will INTERRUPT the user from entering their own password in order to use one it generates. That's huge for average users.
