The Power of the Password Manager

If you’re like the average internet user today, you have hundreds of accounts across multiple websites. You know that hackers are out to get you (well, not you, but your accounts…don’t take it personally), but you’re not really sure what to do about it. There is one tool that single-handedly changed the way I use the internet and manage my accounts across all websites I use. Read on to learn more about it!

A password manager is a software tool that stores your usernames and passwords in an encrypted database for you to reference as needed. This database is typically secured by a single “primary password”. Entering this primary password allows you to read the passwords in your database. When you hear people say things like “the last password you’ll ever need,” they’re referring to this primary password. It’s the secret code that opens the draw bridge and lets you into the castle.

Once inside this castle (AKA your password manager database), the tool allows you to keep an inventory of accounts that you’ve opened. For example, in my password manager, I have an entry for every website that I have an account on which includes the username and password as well as any other essential information that may be needed. It also allows you to store other things beyond passwords, including Credit Card information and rewards account numbers to name a few.

Once your password manager is filled with your passwords, it’s easy to use them. Many password managers have built in integrations with the tools that you already use. For example, I use a browser plugin for my password manager which automatically populates my login information on the login page when I load it, making it so easy to log in! Similarly, on my iPhone, I’ve enabled integration with my password manager to allow the manager to directly input passwords into my mobile browser. These integrations make it easy to retrieve passwords from the tool with less work than typing the password out yourself.

Now that you know what a password manager is, you’re probably wondering why you should consider using one. Maybe you already have a good system in place to manage your passwords and you don’t know why you should make…
