Password Managers
I'm a little disappointed in the conclusion because there are more secure password managers out there that still offer the same level of convenience as the browser built-in password manager. Yes, if you use a password manager that's implemented entirely as a browser extension, you may as well use the browser's built-in password management features. However, if you're an advanced user and are comfortable using a separate password management application, there are options out there that don't force you to choose between a difficult-to-use app and the convenience of something in-browser.<p>For example, exploiting a browser-based password manager likely means escaping the sandbox that contains web pages and accessing the shadow DOM. But this is still a larger surface area than 1Password, where the password selection menu (on Windows at least...) is actually rendered by an entirely separate process on the system. (I.e., clicking the icons that the extension displays triggers the 1Password desktop application to display UI at the cursor's current position. Picking a password from this UI will transmit it to the browser extension for filling. The password is only present in the browser's memory once you've interacted with the desktop application's UI.)<p>As always, do your research. Don't get suckered into paying a subscription fee for a browser extension that offers the same functionality your browser has built-in. But realize that there are other options out there that <i>may</i> actually be worth investing in.<p>Disclaimer: I've been a happy 1Password customer for a few years now.
