I have set a primary password on my browser. Due to which, whenever I open my browser, the first thing it does is ask for primary password. I wish this to happen only when I am accessing the passwords or when a site is autofilling it[ thus, necessitating the unlocking of the vault].

Is there a way to disable it at the browser start? I went through an old StackOverflow thread but no solution there. There used to be an extension called MasterPassword that solved this but the link seems to be broken now.

Indeed the solution is to use a proper password manager. I have been using both 1Password and Dashlane for years, could recommend the first one. But I would strongly recommend Proton Pass instead, even though it doesn't have all the features yet (give them a few months)
