[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1086690, member: 96560"] All major browsers store saved passwords with encryption: Of course password managers will try to sell you that browsers are not as trustworthy - they want to sell you their product, All encryption algorithms are equally secure until broken. And password managers are also using publicly available encryption algorithm.

Vendors are bending the truth for advertising purposes. That is a rule of thumb kind of approach. But sometimes you have to look into the specifics. Yup I am, and I missed out an important part that lots of younger people live on their phones. I am trying to point out that if you don't need syncing, then all the sundry features are available on a browser too, and they can save themselves some money. I also just found a free one from a Swiss company I have used previously: [URL="https://proton.me/pass/free"]Free Password Manager App and Browser Extension | Proton[/URL] [/QUOTE]
