By having Firefox automatically lock the password database after a timeout, you can also limit the amount of time someone would be able to access your passwords.Ĭonvenience: Saving passwords in IE is simple, but IE doesn't automatically fill your login information. Google says a master password provides a false sense of security, but it covers more use cases - if you use an obvious Windows password, share a user account, or set your computer to automatically log in, Firefox's master password would protect you but Chrome wouldn't. As long as you use a strong Windows user account password and don't set your computer to automatically log in, your passwords will remain secure. Firefox offers a master password to encrypt your passwords, but Chrome doesn't. Anyone with access to your Windows user account can view your passwords. Security: Chrome essentially encrypts your saved passwords with your Windows user account password. Convenience: Chrome's password manager is just as convenient as Firefox's, offering the same interface - one click to save, no additional clicks to automatically fill login information.
