Re:Making an SSH client the hard way

Not OP, but...my email and password managers are not websites. I have a local app that does email, I have a local app that does password management. So the extension could certainly access passwords I put into my browser, but I don't see a vector to the "keys to the kingdom" so to speak.

The most popular password managers (1Password, Bitwarden, Lastpass) have a web UI.

Sure, and I use Bitwarden. I just don't use the web UI, specifically to avoid issues like malicious extensions, Firefox exploits, etc.
I'm aware that web-based email and credential managers exist, but GP asked "...why would it not be able to access your email or password manager?" I answered that, with my app choice, I don't see how they could.
