Is it true that password managers store credentials in encrypted vaults, typically protected with AES-256 encryption?
Unclear. The retrieved sources partially support the claim: one password manager project describes storing credentials with AES-256 encryption, and other sources confirm password managers store passwords in encrypted form, but none establishes that AES-256 is the typical protection across password managers generally.
