Yes on the password managers! Particularly their ability to generate and store random strings as passwords.
I'll admit to not checking recently, but the password tools built into the browser only store passwords, they don't help you create good ones.
(I'd love to be corrected on that one, particularly with a mainstream browser, as convincing people to install a third party password manager is an uphill battle.)
I know Safari on Mac can create passwords. Not sure if other browsers have implemented that functionality, but I presume they will soon.
The advantage of using a password manager that it will help on your phone as well. If you are using iPhone then iOS13 allows that natively. But for android, this will be useful.
Nice! Firefox and Chrome include functionality to sync bookmarks, saved passwords, etc between multiple computers. If they add generation of secure passwords, that would be a huge step toward eliminating the "P@ssword123" problem.
