Hi, I really liked your talk at Hack&&Tell! I added a little bit here about the Google Chrome password saving and sync features I mentioned there (with links), but I am not an infosec professional, so I am not actually sure if it's good advice or not. Theoretically, you'd have 2FA on your Google account, which the saved passwords and synced passwords would be tied to, and you can additionally set up an independent sync password. But I feel weird about the Chrome password sync the same way I feel weird about Mac's Keychain; it doesn't generate passwords, and it confuses the simple use of a 'real' password manager. But this is all kinda folksec! I'd be interested to know what you think.
