Passwords are your first line of defense against cyberattacks, and a password manager is your all-in-one tool for managing, storing, changing, and protecting passwords.
Modern browsers usually have their own versions of a password manager, but there are many problems with built-in password managers. For starters, they can conflict with non-browser-based password management software you may concurrently have, causing login issues or even security contradictions. Secondly, browser-based password managers simply aren’t as secure because they’re contained within your browser, and therefore are not encrypted vaults. Browsers can be hacked and personal information (including those passwords) can be exposed.
A multi-device password manager like Keeper is the better choice for keeping things secure and managed properly. Standalone password managers are free from any threats to your internet browser. They offer their own security protocols to keep things under lock and key.
Google Chrome is one of the most widely-used web browsers out there. Its amazing features and speed keep users coming back for more. However, its password management feature still isn’t up to par with password managers. Some users struggle to turn off Google password save, as Chrome will often save passwords automatically. If you’re planning to acquire your own password management software, stop Chrome from asking to save passwords first.
To do this, follow these instructions:
If you’ve already saved passwords into Chrome, you can make the moving process easier with Keeper. Keeper allows you to migrate passwords from Chrome into its password manager quickly and easily for a seamless transition.
Even after you’ve migrated your passwords, you should manually delete every password saved to Chrome. This makes for a better user experience and fewer login conflicts with websites. You don’t want more than one password manager going at once.
Keeper will handle your autofill password feature from now on, so you want to delete your passwords from Chrome altogether.

Did you know that passwords are some of the most frequently stolen pieces of personal information? Once a hacker has access to one or more of your passwords, they can wreak havoc on your personal life, your public records, financial stability, and even your very identity. Identity theft is a true problem in the US, accounting for millions of victims and billions in damages every year. The first step to reducing these numbers is choosing better passwords and password management habits.
A good password shouldn’t contain any personal information like names and addresses, nor should it be any of these 25 commonly-stolen passwords. Personal information is usually the first thing hackers or hacking software will try, and if you’re using birthdays and addresses or recycling passwords, you’re only making things easier for them.
By securing your passwords, you’re providing an extra layer of security for your digital identity. Don’t make the mistake of thinking identity theft can’t happen to you! It can happen to anyone, and poor passwords increase the likelihood that it will happen to you.

A good password manager provides a safe, secure location to store and manage your passwords. Services like Keeper offer a password “vault” where your passwords and the online accounts they’re linked to are kept. This encrypted “vault” is accessed by a master password and even provides extra features like secure file storage.
From the vault, you can change or update your passwords without having to manually navigate to each site to do so. This saves time and headaches and also ensures that you’re not missing any websites. Browser password managers simply can’t offer the same level of security, versatility, and practicality that a professional password management software can.
Most password managers also include a password generator. If you’re struggling to come up with unique passwords, simply click a button, and the manager generates a secure password for you. You can autofill the password into new accounts or directly into the login page.
Your browser’s password manager might be convenient, but it’s far from secure. If your browser becomes compromised, your entire password vault could be at risk. Your financial, personal, and even government information and identity could become potential victims of a breach. That’s why it’s a better idea to use a password manager like Keeper.
Keeper stores passwords safely and securely, generates secure passwords, and can even store your payment information like credit and debit cards. Secure file storage means sensitive documents also get the same level of protection, so you can stop worrying about your information finding its way into the ether of the dark web.
It’s time to take control of your password management and stop wasting time with faulty browser managers. An investment in your passwords is an investment in your personal security and identity.
