Does Samsung's password manager actually work?

[PacificaBren]

I ask because my S9 constantly asks me if I want to use Samsung Pass to save my logins to apps and Web sites. Every time I say yes, it requires me to access my mail and approve the new attempt to save a new password.

Thing is, after I've done that, nothing seems to have changed.

I feel like I'm missing something.

How to you use Samsung Pass, and has it actually improved your experience?

I feel like either it doesn't work, or I'm not getting some key part of why and how it works?

Hi Bren,

Samsung Pass is good at saving credentials, but not creating them. I use it from time to time, to remember passwords for websites I frequent a lot. For ALL our sites and accounts, we use Dashlane as a password manager. It creates unique, impossibly complex passwords for each site (anyone who still uses something like "Fluffy123" for everything is ID theft waiting to happen) and stores them in a vault accessed by one master password you never want to lose.

You're more resilient than me, @ocnbrze - it wasn't the breaches that drove me from LastPass... it was their cavalier attitude about them and covering it up for so long.

I use BitWarden. I use different platforms from different manufacturers, so being cross-platform is an essential requirement for me (which Samsung Pass fails to meet).
