Using a web browser to store passwords and logins is better than nothing, but dedicated password managers are a lot better.
Most browsers include a built-in password manager that stores passwords and logins within its application. However, most lack a master password and are vulnerable to anyone who gains access to your device, whether physically or remotely.
Reputable password managers use high-level encryption, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and strict protocols to ensure that all information is stored securely — they also offer security tools like password vault auditing and password breach monitoring, which aren’t included in web browsers.
While using a built-in web browser is a somewhat convenient and free option for storing your passwords, there are many better free and premium password managers on the market today. While 1Password, Dashlane, and Keeper offer advanced security features, RoboForm offers the best-value password manager, and LastPass has a good free plan available.
