Abstract
Various system configurations and methods for maintaining, accessing, and utilizing secure data of a web browser in a hardware-managed secure data store are disclosed herein. In an example, operations for management of sensitive data such as passwords may be provided with the use of secure enclaves operating in a trusted execution environment. For example, such secure enclaves may be used for sealing and persisting sensitive data associated with a remote service, and transmitting the sensitive data to the remote service, while an unsealed form of the sensitive data is not accessible outside of the trusted execution environment. In further examples, operations for generating a password, storing or updating existing passwords, and replacing web browser input fields with secure data are disclosed.
