Password managers still beat browser autofill alone

The Story

Built-in autofill is fine for solo casual use. Families, freelancers, and small teams hit walls on sharing, audit trails, and recovery when a device disappears.

Why It Matters

Breach response and device loss expose gaps a password box in Chrome will not cover gracefully. Unique passwords only help if you can rotate them in bulk and hand off access without SMS chaos.

Desk Take

Pick a manager, turn on 2FA, and run a weak-password report this weekend. Future-you sends thanks. Browser autofill can stay as a convenience layer — not the system of record.
