This is really all you need to know.
It’s May 5, the first Thursday in May, which means that it’s World Password Day. The day was created by security researcher Mark Burnett to raise awareness of the importance of having secure passwords. Well, how secure are your passwords? There are a lot of hints and tips and tricks out there for creating and maintaining secure passwords. I’m pretty comfortable with tech and keeping my accounts secure, but I find most of these tips too complicated to follow. It’s better to keep things simple. And I’m going to simplify things for you. This is the 21st century, and people don’t need to create and remember their passwords. My advice is simple — use a password manager. What is a password manager? A password manager is an app, usually tied to an online service, that safely and securely stores your passwords. It’s also used to securely distributes these passwords to all your devices, no matter whether you are on a desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Good password managers not only store your passwords and securely transfer them to your browser or apps as needed, but they can also help you generate strong passwords, and even search the internet for any of your passwords that might be leaked on the internet.
