It's a good idea to stop storing your passwords in your browser and use a password manager instead.
When your browser is chrome, I totally understand. Otherwise, why?
Because it's more secure, and portable. A password manager can fill information on programs and apps as well as the browser. It's also separate from the browser, so you don't have a single point of failure. Idk about now, but several years ago when I did use the Chrome password storage, a malicious user could retrieve passwords from the browser as long as they had physical access to the computer.
