In this episode of Cyber Heroes Live, the hosts discuss the risks of browser-based password managers and recommend dedicated password manager apps for better security.


Chrome and Safari are the most commonly used browser-based password manager platforms, which remember and autofill passwords for various web pages. Despite their best efforts, their security features are still limited and vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
