  • The passwords store on Google chrome is not encrypted in a way that makes it hard to steal your credentials. The encryption key is stored on your file system alongside it in plain text. There are generally much fewer concerns for security in browser password managers than in standalone solutions. The standalone password managers also allow you to enter credentials into apps on your phone or desktop even if login doesn’t happen in a Web view. Usually they also allow to store much more data besides passwords (passports, encryption keys, secret text documents or pdfs, credit card information, …). I use 1password and they have very good integration I the browser and os through their extensions and apps. It’s not less convenient than chrome’s own solution.
