Make your passwords as unique as you are with a password manager

A password manager keeps all your passwords in one safe place.

Of the many challenges in the tech world, one of the most daunting is password management. There are two major issues:
  1. Keeping track of what a password is for a given site can be very hard, given how often we have to change our passwords.
  2. Even if we know all of our passwords, most of us are still not secure. To be secure, each confidential login should have a password that is randomly different, so if one website is breached, hackers will not be able to get into your other accounts as well.
A great solution for both convenience and security is to start using a password manager. Two good password managers are 1Password and Dashlane. Both work on Mac, Windows, iPhone, and Android.

A password manager solves your password security problems in two stages:.
  1. Install the password manager and use it to save all of your current website logins (some of this can be done automatically). 
  2. Once you’re confident using the password manager, use the manager to suggest randomized passwords for each website. This improves security, and you only have to remember one password: the password to get into your password manager.
