Comment on Google Says Sorry After Passwords Vanish for 15M Windows User

Comments

I wouldn't touch that Google password manager with a 10 ft pole, doesn't even have encryption enabled by default. I know taviso says browser password manager good and password manager accessed via browser extension bad, but the browser password manager is just lacking on almost every front.

Glad to see that Apple is going to bring password managers to the masses.

It is odd how passwords can be sometimes treated very secretly and othertimes you click "settings" "show saved passwords" and there they all are openly on display? Which is a godsend when sorting out elderly relatives but still weirdly disconcerting.

Will they have apps for non-Apple platforms? Otherwise how will they bring them to the masses

I don't believe we have any confirmation of Android, but there will be an app for Windows.

Which likely covers most of their bases, I imagine the crossover of people with iPhones and a Windows PC is far larger than those with a Mac and an Android phone.

But who knows, maybe we will see one for Android at some point.

No, but it will be accessible by every law enforcement agency. /s
