Google Chrome Password Manager is a great tool but is it secure? One advantage of using a built-in password manager like Chrome’s is that it is free and no need to install it.
Although it provides convenience for its user here are some serious risks that you should be aware of:
If your employees use Google Chrome Password Manager, they essentially hand over their and your business’ passwords to a third party which is probably not the smartest decision if you are concerned about the security and business continuity of your company.
Because Chrome Password Manager does not offer centralised management, the security is decreased.
The user management with Google Chrome is also inefficient for business. Ensuring that an employee, who has left the company, no longer has access to shared passwords can be very difficult. if this employee were to have the passwords saved on their personal Gmail, they can gain continued access to your business platforms and software without your knowledge.
Keep your business secure with the right password manager.
One of the biggest drawbacks of Google Chrome Password Manager is that it is only useful if you are using Chrome for your browser.
It is not compatible with other browsers like Safari, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge.
If you do not use Chrome on all your devices, or use a different browser at work for instance, it is probably not proactively a feasible option or worth the security hassle.
We would suggest implementing a secure, easily to maintain password manager, we are currently offering a free 2 week trail for you to try out our industry leading password manager, click below to start your trial.
Google Chrome Password Manager include very few and basic features like password generation, password storage, and autofill.
From a security point, this is not enough.
Here is a list of things that Chrome Password Manager is missing but are essential to your cyber security especially when need to ensure you are protecting your clients’ data.
Many businesses need to comply with industry-specific regulations regarding data protection and security (such as GDPR and HIPAA).
Chrome’s password manager does not have the necessary features to ensure compliance as there is little transparency about how Google Chrome stores and secures your credentials.
Google Password Manager lacks robust defences and so it is very easy to gain unauthorised access.
With Chrome Password Manager the security is with the device, so anyone who has access to that device will also have access to all your passwords, and your organisation’s system.
It is worth bearing in mind that Google is a profitable business whose product is your data and shareholders rely on these to sell ads.
Another significant issue with Google Chrome password manager is that it does not require a master password to unlock your passwords.
As soon you access your device and open Chrome, your passwords are available and exposed so you should never leave your device unattended.
It is best practice for your business to choose a trusted and reliable password manager that allows you to store your data, not only passwords and credit card details but also various documents safely.
Overall, you are better off and more secure advising your employees not to use Google Chrome Password Manager on any device that they use for work.
