Safari and Chrome: Tied For the Worst Password Manager

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the remember-this dept.

Startled Hippo writes "Safari and Chrome are tied for the worst password manager built into a major Web browser, according to a new study on the issue produced by Chapin Information Services. One problem is that some password managers can be tricked into submitting different password credentials to different parts of the same Web site. The bug has been fixed in Firefox, but Chrome and Safari are still vulnerable to this kind of attack."

    It shouldn't support Mac Keychain as well as it didn't support Colorsync for years. It should never, ever ship with a spotlight indexer too.

    You know, they hate such system wide, free to use, documented OS X features. The OS X Firefox should never be better with more features than Windows or (God forbid) Linux Firefox.
