Browser password managers are convenient, but dedicated password managers still win for cross-device vaults, shared team credentials, and breach monitoring. The best choice depends on whether you need family sharing, business policies, or just personal convenience.
Enable MFA everywhere critical accounts live. A strong unique password without MFA is incomplete in 2026. Prefer passkeys where sites support them, and keep a printed recovery plan offline.
Never store work VPN or production secrets only in a personal browser profile. Separate personal and company vaults to reduce blast radius when a laptop is lost.
