A password manager is a secure application that encrypts and stores your passwords so you do not need to enter individual passwords or memorise them yourself. You will have one ‘master password’ as a key to secure your vault of passwords for as many accounts as you like.
How does a password manager work?
Your password manager is basically a safe! One of the top reasons we reuse a password for multiple accounts is the fear of forgetting our passwords. You can make this a thing of the past with a reliable password manager. Once you have input your account passwords and any other information, the manager will store your details securely in one location with one master password for your access so you only need to remember one!
When you go to log in to one of your accounts on your browser or in a mobile app, you can access your password manager and it will input your details for you. You can also set up auto-fill so you don’t even need to interact with the manager, it will automatically enter your details on any login screen you open (that you have already saved your details for of course).
Why are password managers so great?
Log in easier with lower risk of breach. Password managers eliminate the issues that arise from having to remember a multitude of account logins. Having a long list of online accounts often leads to users creating the same or similar password across several accounts which increases the risk of multiple accounts being breached, or forgetting and resetting passwords constantly which is simply annoying.
Your password manager can also generate strong passwords for you which is a much more viable option when you don’t have to memorise them! Set and forget stronger passwords for better account protection with a built-in generator taht will create long, randomised passwords to protect against hacking.
Share your passwords securely. You no longer need to put your credentials into an email or a text (which you shouldn’t be doing anyway) and send them at high risk. A password manager such as LastPass can conveniently and safely share passwords on the occasion you need to.
LastPass password manager also features dark web monitoring so you don’t need to worry about breaches. The manager will alert you if it suspects your personal information is at risk or compromised.
