Is It Safe to Save Passwords on Your Computer?
ICT Security Notices
These are the top 4 reasons why you shouldn’t store passwords in your Web browser
Lost Devices
If you ever lose your laptop, cellphone, or tablet, anyone that picks it up could have access to your online passwords. And that means they can quickly and easily log into your bank accounts or any other website where you’ve used your browser for password storage.
Remote Hacking
Hackers have been known to use viruses and other malware to gain remote access to your computer via the Internet. If that ever happens to you, there’s a very good chance that the cybercriminal will head straight for your passwords to steal as much important data from you as possible.
Sneaky Snoopers
If you’re serious about your privacy and don’t want your personal info to be available to roommates, family members, or nosy visitors, leaving your device laying around should be avoided at all costs. This is especially true if you store your passwords online!
Forgotten Credentials
Although this isn’t a safety concern, if you use your browser to store your passwords, and you happen to lose access to that browser, you’ll have to deal with changing all of your login credentials to every website you regularly use. That does not sound like fun to us.
