How about improving Vivaldi's password manager?

@daniel said in How about improving Vivaldi's password manager?:
The passwords in Vivaldi’s password manager are encrypted on disk. They’re also end-to-end-encrypted (E2EE) when using Vivaldi Sync. Vivaldi knows how many total bytes of passwords you’re syncing, but has absolutely no idea what’s in your password vault.
The on-disk encryption key is stored in the Windows Credential Store, MacOS Keychain, or the KDE/GNOME password managers (Linux). Programs you give access to your local machine’s keystore can decrypt Vivaldi’s passwords. The sync encryption key is the one you created — separate from your Vivaldi Account password — when you enabled Vivaldi Sync.
You are aware that you can easily crack Vivaldi (Chromium) passwords via Nirsoft tools, right? That's why malware like infostealers often target browsers, the passwords are easy to crack. But with Firefox it won't work because they use a master password (better encryption).
But anyway, Vivaldi's password manager should be more like Proton Pass, which is not a desktop app but an extension. The problem is that they probably store your passwords in the cloud, which I don't like. But perhaps you can use this extension as inspiration.
