    It looks to me pretty clear that they are talking about all the passwords stored in the browser.

      Why people trust browsers for this? Also why browsers don’t beef of that security? I rely on third party, BitWarden, to store my stuff securely.

        I haven’t read in details, but I believe this is an hardware issue, more than a strictly browser issue. They’ll probably mitigate it on the browser side though

      I was talking about the iCloud Keychain, they are specifically not stored in the browser so malware can’t access it.
