Description

Use window.name to save password to memory. Maybe use also a storage to make sure other extensions cannot access the stored password, but it seems that extensions cannot access other extensions' window objects.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the background page implementation and understand how passwords are currently stored. Then implement password storage using window.name instead of the background page.
