And, yes I do close all browser windows/processes before login, and after logout of important websites for instance to make sure cookies and passwords are gone from browser memory.
- pvg 7y agoI don't think this really addresses my point. You're saying the in-browser password manager is somehow more dangerous than some external password manager. I don't think this is true. And the browser presents the same attack surface if you're, you know, using the browser. If your browser is a vector for successful compromise, you're boned if you use the browser, whatever elaborate protective ritual you follow while using it.
