Remove Your Seed/Recovery Phrase From Centralized Password Managers

[BitMaxz]

Yeah, I heard about what happened to LastPass but to be honest we still need a password manager, and most of a password manager is centralized, why we need password manager because I personally keep changing the password on every account which is good since using the same password will get you hacked when one of your accounts got hacked.

Right now I'm using google chrome default password manager but my brother doesn't recommend it so they take me to Bitwarden that they say this was open source

I agree with some points but I do not recommend using such tools to save passwords to any accounts that involve money. I'm fine with social media accounts and forum accounts but for exchange sites, wallets, or bank accounts storing your password to any password manager is too risky and it can be targeted by hackers soon all user's passwords are leaked. I am more safe writing them all on a piece of paper than storing them to any password manager even it is opensource there are still possibilities that it can be hacked.

Every Chrome browser users automatically have their password saved by the browser for easier log in later

Then turn it off. Or better yet, stop using Chrome since it is literally spyware.

Instead of Chrome, use Firefox or Tor browsers. Avoid Brave browser that is a copy of Chrome and spyware too.

We should avoid saving passwords in the password manager on any browser except for social media accounts or other accounts that do not require second screen security, but for the security of exchange accounts and other important accounts we must add the security feature 2fa to increase the security of account access, because even though we save passwords on manual paper but without activating 2fa then account security will not be guaranteed to be hacked, so always increase the security features available for every use of the account.

This are things a sane person won't try at all... I keep saying it
What's the point of getting registered on a decentralized platform just to end up giving away your earnings on a centralized exchange, knowing too well the unbearable disadvantages? C'monnnn, this is been said over time.
Password managers ain't even an option to choose for something as important as your seed phrase -- I won't even save my forum account info on it, talk more of the keys to your FREEDOM? NO!!

Centralized password managers can never be reliable at all since they can be a source of losing our privacy by allowing them to access to our own funds and steal them in the process. Seed phrase should always be kept to yourself and not to any other group or entity, otherwise you are giving them the freedom to control you and your funds, rather than having the freedom all by yourself. That is why decentralized wallets are made, to help us more responsible with our own coins and our hard-earned funds.

I think your peace of mind about the safety of your passwords in the browser is just a matter of time.ven here on the forum, it has been written a thousand times that simply trusting the Chrome browser is the same as walking naked in front of an open window, so you also trust him with something that should be stored very carefully.

Yeah I'm right now moving to bitwarden after advice from you guys

and i found useful website that called https://haveibeenpwned.com/ basically to check my email or password has been compromised and you guys should check it too

But the lucky me I'm never save sensitive password like bank or keyphrases to my google

Check my mail, and this statement was given: "Oh no—pwned!"pwned in six data breaches and found no leaks (subscribe to "search sensitive breaches"). This "subscribe to search for sensitive breaches" simply means they are also seeking traffic and email data. 

Other ways of password protection were suggested, which are some form of random sites too; they might be active and protective, but I can't use them if my saved passwords on Google are already breached, which means the safest way is to go old school, like I do with my wallet security, and write down everything on paper and take charge of my own security. Thanks to this thread left to me alone I could have not known of my password being leaked.

Great it can help you, I have found my email and password and leaked in other place as well because I'm recycling my password on every site back year ago but now I'm using password generator and save it on bitwarden.

Using old school way is good but I think you should using password manager too

It's not only that it is easily opened and stolen, but if anything happens to your chrome installation, you will lose your passwords (unless you chose to sync them with your Google account) as the user_data folder will be trashed and replaced with a clean one.

But let's be honest. Built-in browser password managers do not help. Most of us use multiple browsers, so even if your browser can sync passwords, it can't sync them to other browsers.
