Which browser has the best password manager?

You probably already know that you shouldn't use the same password for all of your accounts. However, managing unique passwords for every website can be a headache. That's where a good password manager comes in handy.

The article explored the 5 most popular browsers to see which option offers the best password manager!

1. Google Chrome

As long as you're signed in to your Google account in Chrome, your passwords are at your fingertips on every device—whether it's a PC or mobile phone. Maybe you've amassed a collection of passwords elsewhere and are worried about transferring them. Don't worry, Chrome makes it easy to import passwords from other managers.

 

Not only is the import and export feature easy to use. When you create a new account, Google Password Manager (GPM) offers strong, unique password suggestions. Once you log in, it's ready to provide your saved login information.

2. Safari

Safari's password manager, iCloud Keychain, is similar to Chrome's in many ways. You'll need to sign in to your iCloud account (just like Chrome and Google), but once you're signed in, everything is smooth sailing. You can easily import/export passwords from other password managers and access your saved passwords in My Passwords. Additionally, Safari will suggest strong, unique passwords and show you your saved credentials when you try to sign in.

Safari's highlight is its organization options. You can organize your passwords into groups and share these groups with trusted contacts. However, each password can only be in one group at a time.

3. Microsoft Edge

 

Edge's password manager — Microsoft Wallet — isn't much different than the others. Like Chrome and Safari with Google and Apple, Edge's password manager syncs with your Microsoft account. You'll also get great password suggestions here, and you can import or export your passwords seamlessly.

One unique feature I love about Microsoft Wallet is that it lets you categorize your passwords into neat categories like business or email when you save them, although this category doesn't show up on your passwords homepage.

4. Mozilla Firefox

Firefox is also great at storing usernames/passwords and pulling them up when you need them. To sync your passwords across all your devices, just sign in with your Firefox account.

Similar to Edge, Firefox won't show password hints unless you right-click where you want to enter a password. However, like most browser password managers, you can seamlessly autofill and manage your passwords in one place. If you have a password vault from another password manager, you can import a CSV file or import your entire browser data bundle—bookmarks, payment methods, etc.

5. Opera Browser

Opera may not have the same market share as the other browsers on this list, but its password manager is still pretty good. It doesn't offer password suggestions, but it's reliable at syncing passwords across devices, as long as you're using an Opera account.

It also offers seamless autofill and a simple import/export process, which you can access via the Settings page. You can easily view, edit, or delete your saved passwords. Like other browsers, if you have a lot of saved passwords, Opera has a search function that makes things easier.

Opera's password manager is as minimalistic in terms of security as it is in terms of features. Aside from the option to enable two-factor authentication (which you should definitely do), your passwords are also automatically active when using it.
