Trust issues aside, do you use the same browser for every task on every device? What do you use to generate your passwords?

Genuinely asking, this is wild to me. This would be like allowing location or desktop notifs from a website.

Edit: downvotes are weird. Fuck me for asking a question I guess? Would be more useful if y’all explained yourselves (and thanks to the one dude who apparently does use only one browser - cool that this works for you)

The browser will auto generate passwords for you. Along with cross device browser sync, you pretty much never see them

Personally for me, I use different browsers or at least different browser profiles for different uses - e.g. Work, personal, financial, etc.

I use KeePass for sensitive passwords, the browser’s password manager is good for general stuff.

Most people I know who don’t really care about tech don’t do any of this and use whatever they’re offered.
