share your passwords with all your browsers
Hi guys,
let's talk a little bit about emails and passwords. I save my login credentials in my browser. When I visit a website, it signs me in automatically.
Now I have more than one browser on my pc, so when I use a different browser to visit the same website, it does not know my password, I have to remember it and manually type it in. Unfortunately, I have more than one password so I can't always remember which.
I want to work on a tool that will enable browsers to share login data, so that when you save your password in one browser, other browsers get the same data also.
I would like to know if you would be interested in such a tool. A YES or NO would be enough. Also any comments are welcome.
Thank you
I use 1Password for this
Same, I feel like this problem has already been solved. With apps like lastpass and 1password it layers onto mobile as well.
+1 for 1Password - I have been using it for about 5 years now and have never looked back. I also recently started using a family account with my wife and now we have share passwords for things like our banking and utilities and private passwords for our personal stuff.
I tried 1password and locked myself out so I just use a spreadsheet. 1P - It was a pain to use I have multiple usernames and logins - I could never get it to work right or change a wrong password.
There are tools like LastPass that do this already.
Already accomplished by using third-party password managers (like Bitwarden) assuming they have a plugin for each browser, which most do.
There are a bunch of ways this is solved. Perhaps you are looking to have a different take which would be interesting. I'm going to list out a few strategies:
Don't save your passwords to your browser.
I paid for Dashlane, I have it on my two laptops as well as my phone.
I've used LastPass before but it didn't cut it and was a huge pain.
Password manager is recommended, it's a trivial thing to extract passwords from the browsers. 2FA also can help.
If you get some malware into your computer, you are at a risk of giving them all your saved passwords and logins, all together with a links to the login page. Some malware pieces, loaders and trojans are dedicated to extracting all possible passwords from all browsers, FTP clients, even licenses from expensive software packages, windows license etc.
Also many people use same passwords for several sites, and guess what - there is automated software for that, too, where skids can go through a top 50-100 sites and try to login with your credentials.
