Wrap Up

Avoiding more extensions and add them as a feature is a great idea. Extensions always consume more resources compare with the in-built features. Most of the time, We always careful in Online usage. But sometimes beyond our vision, things can happen. With these add-ons, The secure is enhanced by a significant percentage. Using Combination passwords, Not-Using the same passwords in multiple ways, and always using HTTPS pages are some extra safe levels that are in our control. I hope this Chrome 79 can enhance the security features with these add-ons. Did you already use the extension to protect your passwords? Did you have a good experience? Comment below.
