Password encryption in Yandex Browser
Users rarely save passwords in the browser, for fear that they can be stolen by hackers or seen by someone else who is at the computer. The Yandex Browser encryption scheme protects user passwords from both of these risks. The password manager architecture developed in the browser follows Kerchhoff's principle. The encryption remains secure even if the attackers know everything about the encryption algorithms used, except for the key values.
