[QUOTE="ncage, post: 1088005, member: 62363"] I have to respectfully disagree with this. Even if most people don't have more than 1 pc (i wouldn't be in that group) most will have either a smart phone and/or a tablet. Yes most browsers these days have password managers but then are stuck using just that browser. I don't know about everyone else but i use a lot of different browsers. I stick a lot more in my password manager than just username/password combinations. Also password managers are more secure offering things like 2nd factor authentication & do you trust your browser vendor with your password security: google, microsoft, ect...? I don't. Also if you do happen to get malware on your machine its very more likely your username/passwords will be harvested than if you were using a password manager (not impossible though of course). Bitwarden is pretty fully featured for the free version but i buy an annual subscription because i like what they stand for & its relatively cheap [/QUOTE]
