Most of the existing browsers offer to save your passwords for faster login to your frequently visited websites. This feature comes in handy in many scenarios; however, with it comes a big security risk: browser-stored passwords can be stolen or compromised.
Outbyte PC Repair scans your stored passwords and alerts you if there’s a potential privacy risk. To view, change or delete your stored passwords, you need to locate them in your browser’s password manager. Below is a step-by-step guide to finding your browser-stored passwords.
