Web browser mechanisms have remained as long as there have been Web Browsers. Password storage is one such most used feature, to help users store passwords for sites they surf. The browser based-password management systems are not perfect, adorned with ease of use, but the security question seems bigger.
Google, realizing this shortcoming of password management tools have now released a new update. The search engine giant, comprehending the security loophole, at this instant advises users to authenticate by using a system password, that’s not easy to track. Accessing passwords on Chrome browser is much easy, where a user just needs to navigate through the link chrome://settings/passwords and get it all here.
This feature has been incorporated in the newest Chromium build for OS X, where any users in order to get acess to the stored passwords, must first insert the system’s password. The link is a way of remembering passwords, and is of special significance for people who stay active on a number of websites on a regular basis. Google’s lack of information on this part has been criticized time and again, as intruding into one’s personal account and using the information for acquiring self benefits cannot be just overlooked.
The company thus suggests keeping your system locked, whenever you are not at the keyboard to avoid such intrusions. Any user stands just two options, at least till the time Google comes up with a cover for this flaw. First is not relying on the password management system at all and using a backup and second is to keep the system locked, whenever away from the same and also inserting a login password that’s difficult to track.
So, avoid putting all your eggs in one basket and if you are not amongst those who remembers locking the computer every time it’s not in use, don’t store the passwords only.
