    I use this:
    Code:
    rem 1 - Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication in the Credential Manager
    reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa" /v "DisableDomainCreds" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
    
    rem https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/security/credentials-protection-and-management/configuring-additional-lsa-protection?source=recommendations
    reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa" /v "RunAsPPL" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
    reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa" /v "RunAsPPLBoot" /t REG_DWORD /d "2" /f
    
    rem Digest Security Provider is disabled by default, but malware can enable it to recover the plain text passwords from the system’s memory (+CachedLogonsCount/+DisableDomainCreds/+DisableAutomaticRestartSignOn)
    reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\WDigest" /v "Negotiate" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
    reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\WDigest" /v "UseLogonCredential" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
    
    rem 1 - The device does not store the user's credentials for automatic sign-in after a Windows Update restart. The users' lock screen apps are not restarted after the system restarts.
    reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v "DisableAutomaticRestartSignOn" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
    
    rem Determines how many user account entries Windows saves in the logon cache on the local computer.
    reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v "CachedLogonsCount" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f

    I use Brave, Edge, LibreWolf, MailBird and the tool does not show any passwords, but I use Bitwarden extension.

    Try KeePassXC, it is based on Keepass but they make their own extensions for Firefox and Chrome, so it is more secure than using a third-party extension.
