Why store cards in a password manager
Storing cards in your browser (Chrome, Safari) ties them to one ecosystem and offers thinner encryption guarantees than a dedicated zero-knowledge manager. Storing them on individual merchant sites (Amazon, Stripe-saved cards) scatters the same number across dozens of databases — each a potential breach surface.
A password manager centralizes the card. One encrypted copy in your vault, autofill on demand, no card-on-file at every merchant. When a card is stolen or replaced, you update one item and you're done — no email-the-merchant scavenger hunt.
