I'm working with Entra ID and most of our team uses Chrome for their web browsing. I suggested hosting a password manager like Vaultwarden, but it was quickly shot down because someone argued that Google Credential Manager would be cheaper, easier, and just as secure. My plan was to set up a Google Cloud Identity tenant and give users Gmail accounts to manage their passwords. I'm looking for solid security arguments to convince my boss that a dedicated password manager is a better choice for compliance and security. Is this a pressing issue, or is it not a big deal?

Using Entra ID without Edge is a missed opportunity! Edge can sync your passwords and browser data seamlessly to the Entra ID. Still, having a password manager is great for creating strong passwords and handling cases where you might need to share passwords.
How do users securely share passwords with Chrome or Edge's built-in manager? I've heard it can be tricky.
When it comes to security, I recommend looking into Bitwarden instead of Vaultwarden for more reliable protection.
If you're using Entra ID, it might make sense for everyone to switch to Edge to log in and sync their Microsoft accounts, including passwords. However, a dedicated password manager is definitely safer and offers more features even with a minimal cost.
A big risk with Google Credential Manager is that if a hacker gets access to someone’s Google account, they can sync all passwords to their device.
