Best Password Managers by mmsen: 2:12pm On Aug 25, 2015 |
http://afritechnet..ae/2015/08/best-password-managers.html The most popular browsers (IE, Chrome and Firefox) provide the option of saving login and personal information for swift data entry. However, they do not assist users in creating strong, unique passwords. In spite of all the news of website and personal information breaches many users refuse to use substantial passwords - the most commonly used passwords include "password1," "qwerty" and "ninja". Password cracking is currently easier than ever with numerous software tools available for the most novice of hackers. A good password manager will generate a long, complex, and unique password. This password will then be stored in a encrypted manner, either locally or remotely. In order to access the password database the user only need remember one password. A secure password manager replaces the need to remember several long, unique passwords and eradicates the excuse for reusing one easy to remember password on several sites, a practice that leaves users vulnerable to hackers. Users are advised to learn from Tunji Andrews and the numerous Uber accounts that have fallen prey to hackers. The ability to copy and paste passwords safeguards users from keyloggers. Passwords should be changed at regular intervals, in anticipation of the next breach. Most users know about LastPass and while it has its merits there are more secure options that make good password habits easier to stick to.
