I've been just using Chrome's built-in password storage feature, though I see a lot of people are still using extensions. Any reason to prefer an extension or third party over just using the built-in Chrome feature?
- sleepychu 7y agoWorks outside of browser, I use mine for things on my phone with the LastPass Autofill. Doesn't tie me to one browser or their security model.
- anuragsoni 7y agoI like using a third party alternative since it gives me the option to use it outside the google ecosystem. I use Firefox and Chrome regularly so the seamless syncing without depending on any particular browser is important for me. The other feature I like in dedicated password managers is that they tend to have a lot more options about what kind of password/passphrase you can generate. Some other features that i regularly use is storing non password content like software licenses, sharing certain passwords with my spouse, etc.
- fasicle 7y agoMakes it harder to switch to another browser (I do also use the Chrome built-in password storage).
- symlinkk 7y agoThe cool thing about 1Password and similar is that not only do they work in other browsers (Firefox), they also work outside of the browsers (e.g. in iOS I can autofill login boxes with credentials pulled from 1Password)
- arawde 7y agoThis feature exists on Android. I can sign in to my chess app with login credentials stored by Chrome (as an example)
