I had been reading more about how browsers store saved passwords, and it made me think harder about whether the built-in “remember password” feature is really the best place to trust sensitive credentials.
Browser password storage is convenient, but convenience is not the same as strong security. Even when a browser handles stored passwords reasonably well, it is still part of a much larger attack surface than a dedicated tool built specifically for credential management.
A friend recommended Password Safe, and after trying it, I liked the idea of keeping passwords in a dedicated application instead of scattering them across browsers.
It was easy to use, open source, and available with a graphical interface. The original post also included several screenshots, but those image files were not present in the migrated archive, so they are no longer shown here.
The main point still holds up: if you care about your passwords, use a tool that is designed to manage them properly instead of relying entirely on a browser convenience feature.
