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

One of the huge benefits of using a third party manager is that your data is more portable! If you wanna use Firefox today, cool. But what if you want to use Safari tomorrow? Or Chrome later? Don’t self vendor lock yourself. I see those built-in OS/browser password managers as traps to prevent you from leaving.

They can export passwords

  Exporting and importing passwords is a time-consuming, annoying process
  
  There’s no guarantee your exported data will be entirely (or partially) compatible with the destination app
  
  My migration from 1Password to Bitwarden was both of those things.
  
  Vendor lock in doesn’t mean it’s impossible to move. It means there’s a huge burden to move.

    Thanks for your contribution. I had to import and export passwords from google chrome to Mac passwords and then back again, and it was just a few clicks. Not difficult at all.
