Hi @Sunny Wong,
For Enterprise, how to know if Edge Password AutoSave is less secure than copy paste to Desktop Password App which is open source?
Yes, I basically agree with these points you mentioned.
In my opinion, solving the security problem of open source desktop password APP may depend more on the interest (or dedication) of community members on how to solve this problem. Therefore, its update may not be as regular as Edge, which is convenient for enterprise management.
And as far as I know, even if you want to copy the stored password in Edge, the system will ask you to use device credentials for authentication. Even if it is stored in a file under user profile, the password is saved with special encryption, so I think the security is certain protection.
In addition, for the local database you mentioned. I think it's more up to you, since you have full responsibility for managing it, including how it's encrypted, access control, backups, updates, etc.
Because of the two approaches mentioned here, you also need to consider factors such as the criticality of the stored data, the cost of maintaining that data, and the ability to take risks. So I'm afraid I can't give a clear choice for the two methods you mentioned, you need to evaluate it yourself.
Best regards,
Xudong Peng
