You should not eliminate passwords, nor should you use a browser to manage passwords. Search engines and Internet companies make their money from selling information on you. Its called surveillance capitalism. Keep that in mind. Its not a good deal for humanity. Be aware corporations are only in it for themselves, (who else would they be in it for?) so now they often give bad advice.
To anyone else reading this, please note that the bold text above is absolutely TERRIBLE advice. A password manager is arguably the
best thing you can do to get the most out of password security. (And if you’re paranoid/delusional like cdev, you can still get a password manager from a third party that’s not your browser developer. I’m pretty sure there are open source ones, too.)
cdev, you need to take off the tinfoil hat, seriously.
1. If browsers sent our passwords to the browser developers, security researchers would have noticed long ago.
2. What would they even want with your passwords? They’re not useful for tracking and advertising. Furthermore, only one of the major browser developers (Google) has a significant interest in advertising. For the others (Microsoft, Apple, and Mozilla), advertising is either an insignificant business area, or not one at all, while privacy absolutely is. So there’s no incentive for any of them to gather your passwords.
