Hi guys, I just wanted to ask your opinion regarding the security of the ms Edge password manager, at least for me I don't know if the kaspersky password manager gives me a real advantage, in my opinion I don't see any technological differences, would it really be better to use the kaspersky manager or someone else? I currently have a half-year license for bitdefender and Kaspersky Plus and I would like to have the best protection option. Bitdefender says it has protection with
Who is more secure?, passwords manager from security companies and edge embebed

Both options have their merits. MS Edge password manager is convenient and integrated into the browser, but Kaspersky's offers additional features like password generation and cross-platform compatibility. It really depends on your specific needs. Bitdefender also offers a good password manager with added security features. Consider your needs and choose accordingly.
In that case, if you're looking for advanced features and cross-platform compatibility, Kaspersky's password manager could be a better choice. However, if you prefer convenience and seamless integration with your browser, stick with MS Edge's password manager. Both are secure, it's more about your personal preference and needs.
I would not use a browsers password manager, they spend the most of their resources developing their browser. And I'm not very confident how much effort they put into their password manager. I would use a dedicated password manager from a company whose only program is that, a password manager, examples being Bitwarden, Proton etc. I am uncertain as to how anti virus password mangers are regarding security or user friendliness. All I know is that when you go to any website that rates password mangers that an AV password manager is very seldom recommended.
If you practice safe browsing habits, using the browser's password manager is on par with, but more secure than, a password manager extension. You can read this blog post by Tavis Ormandy, of Google's Project Zero, for more information. Password Managers
The TL;DR
The TL;DR
Some additional ideas about password strategy regardless of password manager used:
- dedicate only one browser or one browser profile to store your passwords
- don't keep your most important passwords like banking, email, etc. in a password manager
- keep all passwords in a little black book
- make sure passwords are long, i.e. at least 16 characters and easy to remember: --> Check this out Password Haystacks

I read that article awhile ago, just not sure if I trust Google and Microsoft with my passwords.
I trust the opinion of a respected vulnerability researcher more than a lot of the usual hype.I read that article awhile ago, just not sure if I trust Google and Microsoft with my passwords.

The author is not a vulnerability researcher. The article really is about password privacy protection generally.
@Aktiffiso There are "safe" password managers, but not all password managers are created equal. You may want to read the entirety of my first link.

Hello, guys, I'm not a vulnerability researcher, but I have a similar opinion, are the managers incorporated into browsers really so insecure?, I see several situations 1.- That the companies that design these managers (Google, Microsoft) do not mention the technologies or make comparisons with other managers, they simply focus on functionality, now the security companies are tremendously cheatful. I once talked to a guy from Emsisoft support and he showed me that Emsisoft had as many eques as avast and that there were many "said shields" functions that the operating system already had. I also had an award to obtain GDATA and I realized that there were some modules that did not work well and that had archaic designs, especially in relation to the tools of that time, mainly in terms of email clients no antispam product worked properly with mail clients such as Windows Live Mail. Another situation is that some companies such as Avast and 1Password have tremendously aggressive and intrusive campaigns with the user to the extent that both avast and avg could be considered PUPs because they are installed together with the browser. In concrete words, I believe that each company has its pros and cons and each model of password manager as well, that's why I like to read their answers. One question: Are there any independent comparisons of these password manager tools?
There are companies that make browsers.
There are companies that make anti-virus programs.
There are companies that make password managers.
I'm not going to buy my next pair of shoes from a jeweller...just saying.
