What about password managers? The browser built-in ones aren't always the best choice.

  Why not?

    1. Lack of a master password, so anyone who knows the password to your laptop knows all your passwords 2. Inability to access them anywhere, anytime 3. Possibility of compromise in case of compromise of system[1] 4. No sharing 5. Absolutely terrible password generation (a string of random characters) [1]: https://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/how-to/hacking-windows-10-steal-decrypt-passwords-stored-chrome-firefox-remotely-0183600/ https://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/how-to/hacking-windows-10-...

      What’s wrong with a string of random characters?

        Harder to type, harder to remember

          It's from a password MANAGER.

    As far as I know, none of the browser-provided password managers let you sync outside of an internet-connected account system. I can sync my passwords over my local network just fine.

      I think that technically Firefox does, but it’s not easy to run your own account and sync server.
