Why Use a Password Manager for Puffin Browser Stable on iOS
Puffin Browser Stable on iOS renders pages through a remote cloud engine and then streams them to your device. While this improves speed and privacy in certain contexts, it can complicate manual password entry and management. A dedicated password manager offers:
- Automatic form-filling via iOS Password Autofill, reducing typos and login friction.
- Generation of strong, unique passwords for every site you visit.
- Secure encrypted storage—local and/or cloud—protected by a master password or biometrics.
- Cross-device sync so your credentials travel with you, even when Puffin’s cloud rendering changes page layouts.
- Secure sharing of credentials in teams or families without exposing plaintext passwords.
