CEF Forum

Hi everyone! I’m a little bit newbie with CEF and I would like to know if it is possible add a password manager in CEF.
I read some old posts that explicitly said that password manager is not or will not be implemented in CEF, but I understand that many things changed in CEF from those moments to this moment.

Basically my questions are:

• Is it possible use just the password manager from chrome-runtime using alloy runtime?
• Is it possible use a password manager using cefclient but without chrome-runtime?

I know that I don’t understand the whole complete CEF achitecture, and for that reason I would like add this question:

• I understand that CEF is a framework that run chromium at some point. Chromium has a password manager but I don’ t clearly understand why CEF does not show that password manager or how activate it , if that is possible in any way.

Any information will be useful for me
Thanks for your patience.
Bye!

The Chrome password manager is only available with the Chrome runtime. You can read about the CEF architecture at https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... tecture.md

I haven't looked at the chrome-runtine password support but if it is incomplete then Brave is open source, so you could look at what they do - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_(web_browser)

Thanks magreenblat! That architecture info will be really useful to me!
Thanks HarmlessDave, I know about Brave browser , but I didn't know that is open source.
I also asked to a friend about this question and he recommended me this link to understand how is made the password manager in Chromium https://chromium.googlesource.com/chrom ... d_manager/
I will check all this info.
Thanks again!
