They lost me there. This is false, you can definitely disable it.
Also, all these articles talking about how the SQLite database is "plain text"; if someone would want this feature to exist, how would they want the database to be "encrypted"? (assuming they'd still want to access it to search)

- enragedcacti 2y agoA good start would be doing what Microsoft already does for Edge's Password Manager. It separately encrypts the database with the user's creds and triggers a prompt for them when the feature is accessed. It doesn't solve all the attack vectors but it would be a good start. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-security-password-manager-security https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-... With Edge specifically its not really clear to me when the prompt is required but its at least sometimes as you can see here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/edit-your-passwords-in-microsoft-edge-38ef988f-5a65-4c6a-9db8-937995d3ae31 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/edit-your-password...
