One thing I read makes it sound like it is for a built in password
remembering tool. I know Firefox and Seamonkey has the same but I
disable those since I use BitWarden anyway. One would think there would
be a setting in preferences to just disable all that. I suspect few use
them given the popularity of LastPass, BitWarden and other tools that
are much more secure and portable. Maybe looking for a password tool
setting would help. I tried Chrome ages ago, didn't like it at all.
That was several years ago so I'm clueless on it now. Just thought
those suggestions might help.
