Browser Password Manager
A browser password manager is a built-in or integrated tool within web browsers that securely stores and autofills login credentials (usernames and passwords) for websites. It encrypts this sensitive data locally or syncs it across devices using a master password or biometric authentication, enhancing convenience while reducing the risk of password reuse or forgetting credentials.
Developers should learn and use browser password managers to streamline authentication workflows during testing, development, and daily browsing, as they save time by auto-filling forms and reduce security vulnerabilities from weak or repeated passwords. They are essential for managing multiple accounts in web applications, testing login features, and ensuring secure credential handling in personal and professional contexts.
