Safari's absolutely. It uses a OS-wide keychain secured via hardware.

Chrome uses it too. However the CDP protocol allows any local app to control the browser so you can use that to open the browser in windowless mode, examine the list of passwords at chrome://passwords, then open a bunch of tabs to all of those sites and extract the passwords from the HTML forms they get auto-inserted into.
