Security flaws in password managers make them vulnerable to targeted malware attacks, according to US cybersecurity firm Independent Security Evaluators (ISE). The company's research found that the Windows 10 apps for popular managers 1Password, Dashlane, KeePass, LastPass and RoboForm left passwords unsecured in a computer's memory while in "locked" mode. "The researchers discovered this vulnerability by looking at how these applications handle passwords," said ISE's chief scientist Chris Vickery.
