One thing I read makes it sound like it is for a built in password remembering tool. I know Firefox and Seamonkey has the same but I disable those since I use BitWarden anyway. One would think there would be a setting in preferences to just disable all that. I suspect few use them given the popularity of LastPass, BitWarden and other tools that are much more secure and portable. Maybe looking for a password tool setting would help. I tried Chrome ages ago, didn't like it at all. That was several years ago so I'm clueless on it now. Just thought those suggestions might help. Dale :-) :-)
