Comment on Should I use a "proper" password manager instead of Firefox?

You can try KeePassXC and there’s an extension for Firefox that allows you to fill in the password fields, it matches the site with the URL in the KeePassXC entry.

well yes, as I said I’ve used browser extensions for dedicated managers before and I’m aware of KeePass. But my question is more about whether that’s better somehow than firefox. i.e. more secure/convenient/etc. I ask because in my armchair experience the built-in one is completely fine and idk what the advantage of a dedicated manager is over the built-in one.

The question is two-fold. How secure do you want the password to be determines what system to use.
For example:
Banking - I never store a password or username for these. It’s always one I can remember. The password is lengthy, multi-factor authentification is turned on etc… I don’t trust any system.
Finanial webpages other than banks, , taxes, healthcare, etc, stuff that would hurt me personally if stolen, I use a stand alone password manager.
Anything else goes into Firefox password manager. Stuff I don’t give a fuck about if somebody hacks my password.
