View submission: Is this simple security bypass known bug?
It’s a bug, of course, but not as serious as widespread breaches like those that have occurred with password managers.
With this bug, the attacker needs access to your unlocked phone to see your saved password. This could also happen to a buggy password manager.
I was responding to this unfunded claim:
browsers have a far worse history of keeping the passwords actually secure compared to password managers.
My point is that password managers have a worse track record of serious bugs.
There’s no history of breaches involving passwords stored in browsers and accessing clients’ vault data like what has happened with password managers on a few occasions.
You can criticize browser managers for being less powerful and maybe less useful than third-party password managers, but technically both can suffer from the same types of bugs and breaches.
There's nothing here!
