Browser vs. dedicated password vault

What's the point of using a dedicated password vault when your browser already offers a built-in tool?

Greater security

Some browsers do not require authentication to access your passwords. If you leave your computer unlocked unattended (which is admittedly a bad practice), a malicious person can easily connect to your sites. With UpSignOn, your passwords cannot be used until you have unlocked your vault and it is automatically locked after a certain period of time (configurable according to your needs).

Data portability

Browsers’ built-in password managers are designed to encourage you to stay within one ecosystem (that of Apple, Microsoft, or Google). An iPhone user will not be able to synchronize their passwords to their Windows PC.

Password sharing

A password vault like UpSignOn provides advanced features such as sharing secrets, which is a fundamental feature in a professional context in particular.

Pro/perso separation

Password management in browsers does not allow professional accounts to be separated from personal accounts, they are all stored at the same level. UpSignOn offers PRO and PERSO vaults.

An organized and tidy vault, with notes and other types of secrets

Browser password managers are intended to remove management from the user and to appear as little as possible to the user (which has the virtue of simplicity, but which has the disadvantage of hiding password security issues). Instead, a dedicated password vault is designed as an everyday tool that you can organize, where you can add notes, TOTP codes and secrets that aren’t necessarily passwords.

A supervision console

UpSignOn’s PRO vaults are supervised to allow administrators (CISO, CIO) to view the evolution of password strength and identify people who need more specific support. Conversely, browser vaults are not designed for professional issues.
