One of the most annoying things about technology is having to remember so many different passwords for different accounts. Plus, each account probably has its own rules, like you must have special characters, you can’t have numbers, no repeated letters, and more, making it even harder to remember everything. And the process of resetting your password is less than fun, especially because you’re probably just going to forget it again!
Password managers make it easy to access your accounts by remembering your passwords for you, in a secure fashion of course. They’re also great for storing important or sensitive information, and even automatically filling out web forms for you! But how exactly do they work? This article takes you through a password manager’s entire process, from checking to make sure your passwords are strong to alerting you if your credentials have been compromised.
