KiwixThis is problematic.
root42@kiwix One of the problems is to have all your credentials to move around. Chrome is the smallest common denominator, it works on all big platforms. I use Safari on all my Apple devices, and very, very rarely Chrome on the Mac. But Chrome on work laptop (company mandated) as well as on RasPis (or Chromium for that matter). Having to use a THIRD browser which needs ANOTHER password locker is just a pain...
WiredFire@root42 @kiwix Try Bit Warden as a password manager. Has great browser and Android and iOS integration. Plays nice with Chromium-based browsers and Firefox, Windows, Mac Linux. End to end encrypted, open source, and well trusted.
Far better than being "locked in" to a browser or platform's own password storage approach (which is often less strong).
@wiredfire @kiwix Thanks. I would actually love to see a rigorous analysis of e.g. Apple‘s and Google‘s password managers compared to others. Are there any papers out there?
@root42 @kiwix I'm not aware of papers directly comparing, but passwords stored in Chrome are trivial to crack:

macOS Keychain on severak OS versions can be decrypted, wiht hashed passwords revealed that could be then run through a hash checker like John the Ripper
