Change the built-in Safari password storage to Passwarden!
Export your passwords from Safari built-in storage and enjoy the benefits of Passwarden.
Is It OK to Use a Built-In Password Manager
Software solutions become more and more cross-functional. That’s why web browsers introduce the feature of password storage. It offers a pretty convenient user experience. But is it secure? Does the built-in Safari storage protect your sensitive data? The list of built-in password manager disadvantages is worth considering.
Synchronization
The “Autosave Passwords” feature is usually switched on by default and you have a collection of logins and passwords saved in your default browser. But it is not convenient to manage all those items if you use more than one platform or browser. Apple has limited the Safari Browser only up to iOS and macOS so you cannot get it for other not-Apple devices.
Security
The more evident issue is that free and built-in password storage just can’t protect your items. It doesn’t encrypt your sensitive data and doesn’t allow you to securely share them with colleagues or friends. If you lose access to your Apple account, you will lose all your credentials, as the only security tool to protect them is two-factor authentication (if it is turned on).
Sharing
The best practice is to create a strong password and update it from time to time. But what if the account is corporate? All the owners of the credentials will not get updates if the password is changed in your Safari browser. Moreover, if you are going to share passwords in messengers or email, you risk causing a massive data leakage. Apple Keychain and Safari leave you hanging when it comes to secure sharing.
Passwarden is the best solution to replace the built-in storage
All the browser-built-in password storages usually have a limited set of features that make it impossible to compete with specialized password manager solutions. They offer various features for complete protection and convenient management.
Passwarden solution stepped up with its features as well. You can securely store your sensitive data in encrypted Vaults, share your items with colleagues or friends, and control the Total Protection Rate of all your passwords.
Built-in password generator
This feature allows you to create a strong combination of characters to protect your accounts. You can choose whether to use capitals, digits, or symbols and set up the length of the desired password.
Security Dashboard
Security Dashboard is the perfect solution for password vulnerability checks. You can be aware of data breaches or weak passwords. Check how strong your passwords are, and you will be informed if they are compromised or reused.
Duress Mode
This feature is perfect if you are forced to give access to your Passwarden storage but still wouldn’t like to disclose your most sensitive data. Duress Mode will not reveal it and will guarantee that people around you will see only what you want them to see.
Supported Platforms
All the main features are available on any platform you use. Password is supported in iOS, macOS, Windows, Android, and other platforms. You can synchronize your sensitive data wherever you are and whatever device you use.
