Tech Hint of the Week - Password Managers

 

Always use a password manager

Using a password manager secures your online accounts by generating, storing, and auto-filling complex, unique passwords in an encrypted vault, so you only need to remember one master password. Davis says password managers are a great option because they reduce the pressure to remember everything. “They make it much more realistic than using a different password for every account. They are not the only acceptable solution, but they are one of the most practical ones, particularly for people with lots of online accounts.” You can download a password manager app on your phone or tablet, or use one on a website in your browser. Whichever type you use, once you’ve logged into it, it will store your passwords for all your online accounts in a safe place. One of the main benefits of a third-party password manager over one in your browser is that it can synchronise passwords even when you have a mix of different browsers and devices.
