The use of web browsers has become an essential task for each of us when we access the Internet as these browsers. It does not matter which one we use since it does not only serve to go to web pages but also to access hundreds of platforms, whether personal, work, educational, etc., as well as to sites where security controls require a username and password..
These browsers have an intelligent engine that gives us the option to save the password (and user) of the visited site in order to access much faster. As we have already mentioned, TechnoWikis has mentioned it to you other times, this is practical and useful but it can be a factor of vulnerability. It is not recommended to save passwords if it is a shared computer but if you are sure that you only have access, you could use it.
But if we use different browsers, how to make these stored passwords available in other browsers? Simple, TechnoWikis will give you the solution as you can import passwords from Firefox Quantum to Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome..
Microsoft Edge is integrated by default in Windows 10 and you can download Firefox Quantum or Google Chrome in the following links:
Google Chrome
Firefox Quantum
