>Chrome store passwords in a key chain
Really? I thought Chrome, same as Firefox, stored credentials in an SQL file, the reason behind it being profiles and its built-in sync service.
- fauigerzigerk 7y agoIt appears you're right. Chrome doesn't actually use the system key chain underneath, but the UX is exactly the same as Safari. Autofill doesn't require password entry, but before revealing any stored passwords you have to re-authenticate using the regular system login method. I wish Firefox did the same.
- forgotpwd16 7y agoThat's interesting and I wonder how they do it. Nevertheless this isn't good as it offers a false security sense since the end result is similar to using a master password which is the same as the login password.
