How to access and manage passwords in the Chrome browser?

Have you been using a password manager integrated into your Chrome browser to store all credentials?

Or have you just started using a highly secure, dedicated password management tool like PassCamp, and you are searching for a smooth switch?

Let’s go through the risks of storing passwords in the browser. Find an easy way to access, migrate, and manage passwords in the Chrome password manager.

Is saving passwords on browsers safe?

There are some existing security concerns about saving passwords on browsers. Password managers that by default exist in browsers do not assure the same level of security as proper password management tools.

Although browser-based password managers provide convenience, they might fail to ensure the same high level of security.

For instance, the Chrome password manager automatically fills in your credentials once you visit a website. Therefore, if someone accesses your computer (physically or remotely), he can immediately view and use passwords to log in to all your saved websites.

Even if the browser requires you to authenticate your login, there are easy workarounds to avoid that. If the main priority is your data safety, you should never store or manage passwords in the Chrome browser.

How do proper password managers solve security issues?

Dedicated tools such as PassCamp were created to ensure a high level of data security. Reliable tools store all the user’s passwords, digital secrets, and notes in an encrypted vault, following the globally-recognized security practices.

During the first session of using a browser, a user has to log into the browser extension by typing his Master Password before it auto-fills and autosaves credentials. This protects from workarounds and easy external access (as in popular browsers).
