Many people rely on their web browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Safari) to save and fill their passwords. It is certainly convenient for personal use, but when it comes to business security, browser password managers simply don’t cut it.
For organisations, switching to a dedicated third-party Password Management Solution is critical.
Here’s why a dedicated solution offers superior security, collaboration, and control compared to your browser’s built-in feature:
1. Superior Security 🛡️
Browser-saved passwords are often stored locally and are easier for malware to exploit. Dedicated Password Management tools use stronger, multi-layered encryption, enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and often employ a Zero-Knowledge architecture, making them far more secure.
2. Secure Team Sharing 🤝
Browser managers offer no secure way to share group credentials. A Password Manager allows teams to securely share logins for shared accounts (like social media or service accounts) using encrypted vaults and provides an essential audit trail to see who accessed what.
3. Centralized Control 🛑
A Password Management Solution gives IT teams centralised administrative control. They can enforce strong password policies across the entire organisation and, critically, instantly revoke access to all company credentials when an employee is offboarded.

In today’s digital landscape, password hygiene is no longer optional; it’s essential. Businesses face increasing threats from phishing, credential stuffing, and insider breaches. Relying on browser-based password storage is like locking your front door but leaving the windows wide open.
