[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1089901, member: 32260"] Yes, the ability to prevent credential phishing is one of the reasons for using password managers. This works in most cases but with some flaws. The flaw can be a problem because "phishing alone is the number one online thread." Why do you think so? Are there more prevalent scenarios prevented by password managers? None of the above scenarios is extremely rare in the wild. Of course, you are right that it does not mean frequent password-stealing for the particular user. Many people in the world will be never attacked via those (or other possible) scenarios and are safe without using any password manager. But for most people (who use many online passwords), password managers can be an advantage. Let's look again at the tips provided by the Canadian government that promote using password managers: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1718446737813.png"]283801[/ATTACH] It is not an accident that we can see the tip: [B]Do not store passwords for sensitive accounts (e.g. banking, email)[/B] [/QUOTE]
