Brave-browser: Built-in strong password generator

[adamreisnz]

Whatever happened to this issue?

https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/issues/5037

It seems to have been closed, but I can't find any sign of the feature or any other issue here referencing it.

I really miss this feature from Chrome.

If Chromium has this feature, then we should have it shortly. But we're not going to make substantial changes to the Chromium password manager right now.

I like Enpass, open source, and works on windows, android, and apple.

I have on my Arch linux both, Chromium (from the repo) and Brave (downloaded from GitHub, the latest stable release: 0.65.121)

The underneath Chromium version is the same: 75.0.3770.100

But the option to generate password is present in Chromium but not in Brave.

How I understand the @tomlowenthal statement: if it is present in Chromium it will show up in Brave because it is based on it.
But in this case it should be already the case. Isn't it?

Or it has been shutdown on purpose during the Brave translation?

I have to use openssl to generate strong passwords.
Things could be a bit easier if this was implemented directly into the browser.

Please consider putting this in tier P4 instead of P5. :pray: :smile:

I don't see a password generator in a released version of Chrome. Can you share a screenshot of the Chromium feature, @alexandrestein?

Another discrepancy between Chrome and Brave around password management that I've noticed is that Chrome automatically fills in the first matching username/password for you. Brave forces you to click on the input field first, and then select from the options, even if there's just one.

This is a minor annoyance, as it adds an often unnecessary step to each login process.

@tomlowenthal do you need any further information about this feature? Have you been able to spot it in Chrome?

[tomlowenthal]

@adamreisnz Thanks for all the info. The next thing for me will be to check out what's missing on our end. But it's not a high priority I'm afraid.

@tomlowenthal Chrome surfaces this feature when Chrome Sync is enabled, and only then (from what I can tell).

Any news on this?

one year later... :)

[adamreisnz]

Yeah I moved back to Chrome ;)
