Whenever you sign into any of website on web browser like Chrome, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox or Apple Safari, Web browser always trying to help to prompt you to save the password for that site. Because, next time when you open that side, you do not need to enter the password again to get login.

Definitely this feature makes your life easier, but sometime it would potentially risk for your system in certain cases. Like, when you share your system with other people and don’t want to access your accounts. Sometime hackers could compromise your system and steal the password information directly from your web browser. It is better to store password in your memory and it will add extra security to you, because you are only person knowing your password.
