You know you’re supposed to have strong passwords so that hackers can’t guess them. And that you’re supposed to have different passwords for different accounts. But trying to keep up with all of that is challenging to say the least!

That’s where password managers come in—they eliminate the need to keep track of multiple passwords. A good password manager application will…

  • Generate strong and unique passwords for every secure website you visit.
  • Store your passwords safely in a single location that is password-protected and encrypted.
