MyGlue Chrome Extension - Secure Access to Passwords
MyGlue Chrome Extension is an extremely useful tool that lets you quickly access your saved MyGlue passwords, create new passwords, and auto-fill login information directly within your Chrome browser. It removes the hassle of switching tabs, and copy-pasting usernames and passwords. The extension also features a quick search functionality and supports Single Sign-On (SSO) if enabled by your organization. It prioritizes security with at-rest and in-transit encryption of passwords.

Pros
Works effectively for auto-filling credentials on certain websites.
Saves time in finding and entering passwords.
Users appreciate the overall functionality and convenience.
Cons
Inconsistent auto-fill functionality, especially with Single Sign-On.
Injects CSS that disrupts the appearance and functionality of other websites.
Lack of options to edit or update passwords directly within the extension.
The point of a password manager is that you don't have to remember passwords yourself, but with this extension I still have to for some applications I use often. The problem is mostly single sign on for me. I click on login, the website (app.eu.myglue.com) will be opened in a separate tab for login, I see that I'm logged in, then the tab will close again and nothing happens. No credentials filled and extension is still not logged in. When I go to the website (app.eu.myglue.com) myself, login and go back, the extension seems to be logged in. However I can refresh the page all I want or open it in a new tab, but no credentials are automatically filled still. Only after a while (10 minutes or so) it'll start auto-filling credentials.
So then you try to search manually in the extension for the credentials you need, but you have to remember the start of the name or url, because it will only match on start. For example you will not find your credentials for 'account.example.com' if you type 'example' in the search bar. You have to start with 'account'.
We switched from LastPass (for obvious security reasons) to MyGlue for password management. I gave it a year of use to shake off any initial negative views because it was "different that what I'm used to". Here are my observations:
• Single Sign On doesn't always stick the first (or second, or third) time.
• The extension injects CSS into places it shouldn't be. As a web developer, I know this is really easy to control, so I can only assume it is a lazy attempt to put together a browser extension.
• The extension doesn't let you edit your passwords, but rather redirects you to the website to do so.
• It still shows Archived passwords in the list of regular items without indicating that it is any different. Couple this with my organization's decision to not let any of us delete passwords and it leads to a very bad user experience.
• It doesn't give you the option to update a password when it detects that it may be different than what you already have for that site.
Sometimes I think it would be better to just use the browser's built-in password manager.
