Use the built-in browser password manager. It is safe and it only auto fills for the correct URL… exactly what you mentioned. You should be able to export from your current PW manager and import into the browser’s. Then turn on browser sync to make sure those passwords are available on all browser instances.

This is the last thing I expected to see on HN but after reading this I have to ask - is it ever remotely safe? Asking for a friend.

Absolutely. Much safer than a browser extension (source: I’m an ex-Mozilla engineer)
