I don't think that there is a one-size-fits-all product. I am a cofounder of Passpack, an online password manager for workgroups. So for me I've found my optimal solution (I built it!), but that doesn't mean it is optimal for every use case. Sometimes I also use the browser's password manager, for example for some non critical sites. Firefox's built-in password manager has good security measures. However since I prefer to browse with Chrome, and Chrome does not have a master password protection, that leads me to rely entirely on Passpack. So as a first step, I think Chrome should add a master password to protect the stored passwords. There's little point in adding sharing features if basic in-browser protection is still missing.

- sullof 16y agoMaybe. But it seems to only be connected to sync. Do you know if there is a way to simply protect your stored passwords without start sync?
- sullof 16y ago@kpozin, obviously I was replying to kylekramer :)
- kpozin 16y agoUnfortunately, that doesn't encrypt the passwords Chrome stores on your computer, meaning that anyone who has access to your Windows account can access all your stored passwords as plaintext.
