But everyone has a password manager now. They come builtin to all major browsers, Apple ecosystem, etc. My non-technical girlfriend uses one.

Yeah, and I support anything that makes security by default easier. I'd love to see adoption numbers for in-browser password managers, though, because I feel it's not very high yet.

Why specifically in-browser?

Because without that the argument of "everyone has a password manager" fails. Tons of people don't have 1Password or Bitwarden or Lastpass or KeypassXC or whatever.

So sure, they might technically have a password manager installed, in that every major browser has a password manager included. But do they actually use it? That's what really matters.

Yeah, this is why. "in-browser" was unclear when I also meant the iOS ecosystem password manager and stuff.
