Password management software helps a user who has a lot of accounts across the web to create, store and manage secure, strong and complex passwords. It does not need to remember the password for each service or account on the web separately, and the login data for the relevant web service is stored in the program folder or tools Browser.
According to the German Commodity and Test Institute, despite the great importance that such programs represent to the user, they have advantages and disadvantages that must be paid attention to.
She explained that although the password management program provides more security and reduces pressure and tension over data preservation, it is dangerous, and if the user forgets the main password that he uses to secure the collected passwords, the cost will be very prohibitive. Because these programs record important data, they should be used on personal devices only.
Besides the software packages, German experts have tested the password solutions available in web browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Google Chrome, and these programs provide tools for storing and managing passwords.
The Apple Safari program relies on a series of cloud keys, so log-in data is available on all devices linked to an active user account, and Chrome depends on a Google account, while Firefox uses Firefox with Sync or Lockwise.
According to experts of the German Commission, the password management tools in the browser do their job to the fullest, but they are defective, and if the user does not want to switch between browsers constantly, he must rely on one browser to do all activities on the web, in addition to The password management function cannot be sufficiently separated from the rest of the browser functionality.
