Since I’m using Bitwarden as my password manager, bringing my passwords to a new device or web browser only requires installing the Bitwarden app or browser extension, then logging in, and my passwords automatically sync no matter where I am. Apple, meanwhile, launched a Chrome extension for iCloud Passwords in 2021, so logins you save to iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac are easily accessible on Windows PCs.Mozilla also added auto-fill support in the Firefox mobile app in 2021 after discontinuing its dedicated Lockwise password manager app.Microsoft followed suit a year later, so that Edge’s mobile apps (or the separate Microsoft Authenticator app) can fill out passwords for other apps on your phone.

(A similar feature launched on Android a few years earlier.) In 2020, Google added auto-fill support in Chrome for iOS, so if the browser is installed on your phone and synced to your Google account, it can fill out passwords in other apps.They also didn’t include some features that were table stakes in dedicated password managers, such as the ability to generate secure passwords when signing up for new services.Īs a result, they didn’t deliver the main benefit of using a dedicated password manager such as Dashlane or Bitwarden, which is to keep you from using the same weak passwords everywhere. Sure, the auto-fill features in Chrome, Firefox, and other browsers made logging into websites easier, but they didn’t help you log into apps on your phone.
