The current browsers have been designed to facilitate the execution of tasks to all users as they integrate functions, tools and news at both access and security or development levels. Normally, many sites that we access from our browsers, promptly talk about Google Chrome and Firefox Quantum, ask us for the password with which we have registered the user and automatically the browser launches a pop-up window where it is possible to store that password on the Chrome or Quantum keychain..
Although this is practical because it saves time for access to certain platforms, it can be a security risk since if someone else without the necessary permissions accesses our equipment, they can easily access study or corporate platforms , mail and others objects where the password has been saved . Thus the best security option is to disable this option in both Google Chrome and Firefox Quantum.
Next, we will see how to achieve this.
