    He does recommend using the built-in browser’s password managers; he just had beefs with how the extensions, which the non-browser password managers have to contend with, are implemented, and with the security of the vendor’s network and software. He himself uses Chrome password manager.










  • I believe this is how Microsoft implements verification so that users do not have to remember their passwords. You can probably disable it in Security > Advanced security options > Send sign-in notifications.

    Personally, I find this very convenient, especially when logging into a new device/app/service for the first time. However, I imagine that if someone else is trying to get into my account online, it would be the first thing I disable, switching back to entering my password by default.
