Comment on Browsers keep password in memory, how serious is that?

Comments

This is a total nothingburger. If malware has enough access to steal passwords from your browser's memory, then there's no way to stop it from getting them.

Exactly my thoughts. This becomes whack-a-mole since I must at some stage get the password in clear text what method do I use to keep them secure. Whatever it is it's just going to be obfuscation I the end.

The article says that there is no need for elevation (I'm not sure it's true though)...

So? Why should you need elevation to interact with your own non-elevated processes?
