I’m totally guilty of this myself for my work stuff (Edit: I WFH and everything still has either 2FA or MFA enabled), but saving passwords in your browser is risky. Browsers can be tricked into, for example, populating your credentials into hidden fields, thus exposing your creds to whoever’s on the other end wanting that data.
I’m certainly not going to stop doing it myself, so I’m just recommending that all your passwords at least be unique for each account. I use a password manager to store them all, that way I only need to remember one master password for all my accounts.
have no clue what that is. I am using firefox on an hp laptop and when I click my bookmark it usually auto logs me in to my account.
2FA is two factor authentication, it requires your password plus a generated code from an authentication app that changes every 60 seconds.
Mine is just in my bookmarks I click it and since it saves the password it auto logs me in.
