How to store user password in browser extension?

Question

I am creating a browser extension. I want to store user credential somewhere so that he don't have to input them again and again.

button.addEventListener("click", function () {
    let inputVal = document.getElementById("input").value;
    if (inputVal === "ramo") {
        text.style.display = "none";
        chrome.tabs.update({ url: "https://www.youtube.com" });
    } else {
        toggleText();
    }

});

I am getting user input password in inputVal .. Now I want to store it . How to proceed further?

You can use localStorage or chrome.storage to store data, but with DevTools they can be referenced by third parties.
