A lot of the criticism of this article seems to be: “If they already have access to your local file system, you already have bigger problems”

What about defence in depth?

This article is suggesting an alternative, which are password managers such as 1Password. These Password managers do not suffer from the same weak key storage as the browser’s build-in password managers.

So this article is bringing attention to a weakness in the browser’s built-in password managers, and suggesting a very viable and easy-to-adopt solution.

Why the strong criticism of this article?
