password managers in the browser still store them encrypted. They usually authenticate via a passkey, in-built security in the OS like windows hello, or through other services such as SSO through google; That said, if you have them on auto-pilot with this authentication, anyone with access to the device can theoretically access them, though to actually view them in the password manager they usually require you to authenticate.

Browser password managers are sorta less secure than a third party one, assuming you turn on all the convenience features to make your life easier, but a lot of third-party password managers have the same convenience features a lot of the time anyways.

Saving the password in your browser is using a password manager; you're just using the one built into your browser. The safety and security of using any individual password manager is pretty much up to how secure that particular password manager is, but generally speaking they all store passwords encrypted.

Ones built into a browser have the added attack vector of being potentially vulnerable from the browser itself vs a stand alone manager, but if you use a plugin for your favorite password manager they likely share a pretty similar attack vector possibility.

Either way, using a password manager is infinitely better than reusing passwords, so this is really just a long winded way of saying "no, not really".

Dedicated password managers usually come with more security, control, and features, but you're generally going to be fine using the one built into your browser.

 
 

Hello! I'm an admin on ttrpg.network. Recently, our hosting provider let us know that they are going out of business. I'm trying to find a new provider to migrate to.

A little bit of information, i would like:

  1. Not to self host - I travel a lot for work, and i can't guarantee that my home internet/server is always available.

  2. Prefer a managed service if possible - Again, due to the above, if something goes wrong while i'm out of town, I might not have time to troubleshoot issues for a week or more.

My current service is a managed service, so I can open tickets if something goes wrong and have their support team look in to it. Googling, the only other service i can find that has managed services is elest.io, which mostly just looks like a wrapper for services like AWS and others, and the server configurations look like they might get pretty pricey to get anything near comparable.

Currently, our instance uses around ~1 TB of data after backup and everything is included, and we have a 4TB quota at our current host, 8 GB of ram, and I'm not entirely sure of the CPU or anything. All for around ~$25 USD/month.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Quite possible. I'm not an expert and working from memory, so I could very well get something wrong

Yes, actually. They're both different mixes of plutonium isotopes. Iirc reactor grade plutonium is far more stable than weapons grade (because blowing up is less desirable for reactors than bombs), and has some different properties when used.
