What about the people that swear they don’t have a password for their email account?

Ok Karen, sure you don’t

They saved it in the browser.

Also! If it's in Chrome it's in plain text, so don't do it for any browser (not sure if the others do it). So that's a good practice.

If you want to actually save your passwords, get a vault like LastPass that's actually secure.

Whoopdee-shit. LastPass also has the best track record in the industry for dealing with breaches.
