This article is about a novel technique that supplies dummy passwords on DOM level and intercepts network requests to replace them with actual secrets. This is not about protecting your master key, it’s about protecting the actual passwords from a variety of attacks, including script injection.

The article is about a password manager, as the article's title implies. Novel techniques are red flags in my book. Horcrux sounds like untested wizardry that hasn't yet stood the test of time.

It is a research paper on arxiv. Of course, it hasn't yet stood the test of time.
