Guest Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 Can stealers(Redlines, Lokibots, Hawkeyes, etc.) steal passwords from ESET Password Manager? I mean all forms of ESET Password Manager(ESSP, Android app, iOS app and what is the most important browser extensions). Is it real?
Administrators Marcos 5,450 Posted September 2, 2022 Administrators Posted September 2, 2022 No password manager stores passwords in plain text on a disk so it shouldn't be easy for malware to steal them.

Guest Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 @Marcos If to compare Chrome's built-in password manager and ESET Password Manager which one is more easy for malware to steal passwords?

Password managers as Marcos have mentioned tend to encrypt passwords. In my opinion the way passwords most commonly get compromised is either 1. They are used on multiple sites and one gets compromised 2. Through phishing and signing up to dodgy websites. For extra safety you could have some accounts with a unique password that isn't saved on anything. This could be used for example for a banking site. Other recommendation is to enable 2FA whenever possible

Good question: 😎 Using the same answer people always use here on the forum, not everything is 100% safe. But I wanted to know more about the responses from our friends and ESET.
