In a word, the difference is security. Letting the browser focus on browsing, and the password manager focus on creating, filling in, and securely storing passwords leads to better security.
Browsers, much like internet routers or firewalls, serve as a primary interface for connecting with the external digital world. This 'frontline' position makes them particularly vulnerable to a variety of threats. An external password manager, especially a native platform application like Sticky Password, can be thought of as working behind the lines; as such we can look at the interaction with the browser as limited and controlled by actions of the user. This detachment between the browser and the password manager benefits from additional layers of protection that include an encrypted database, secure backup storage, and second-factor authentication. These features collectively reduce the risk of your passwords being compromised by malicious websites or injected scripts.
Unlike using the password saving capabilities of browsers - which ties you to a single browser - Sticky Password gives you the freedom to access your passwords across all major browsers-whether you`re using Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Google Chrome, Brave, Opera or others. No matter where you create your accounts, Sticky Password ensures your passwords are always at your fingertips, no matter how you choose to surf the web.
And, of course, with Sticky Passwords local and cloud sync options, you can access your passwords anywhere and anytime - on all your devices.
