Juggling Too Many Passwords?\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/h1>\n

Interested to know which of the popular password managers measure up…<\/span>or if you even need one?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you ever feel like you have a million passwords to organize and\/or remember?<\/h3>\n

If you spend any time online, then you might not have quite<\/em> a million \u2013 but you certainly have dozens of logins. This includes social media (such as <\/em>Facebook<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and <\/em>Twitter<\/em><\/a>), entertainment (such as NetFlix and Hulu), shopping (such as Amazon and Overstock), plus personal accounts at banks, electric companies, utilities and more.And those are just your personal accounts!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chances are, you have accounts that you need to remember for business purposes as well. And if you have family members, then everyone in the household likely has loads of login information.<\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

SO HOW DO YOU ORGANIZE ALL THIS INFORMATION?<\/h1>\n

The solution some people use is to simply use one password for all sites. But that\u2019s extremely<\/strong> dangerous<\/strong>, even if the password is exceedingly strong. That\u2019s because if a site is breached and hackers get access to your password for one site, they\u2019re very likely to try using it on all popular sites. For example, a hacker might get your NetFlix password, and then the first thing they\u2019re going to do is try this password out on PayPal, Gmail, Amazon and many other popular sites.<\/p>\n

Still another solution that some people use is to create a spreadsheet or other similar file with their passwords. The problem here is that if a hacker breaches your computer, they have access to ALL your login information. And you can bet they\u2019re going to put it to use as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

Another common solution is for people to simply write down all their passwords. That works if you\u2019re writing them down on PAPER, as hackers can\u2019t retrieve a piece of paper from your desk. But the problem with this solution is that it\u2019s a cumbersome system, especially if you\u2019re trying to log in using your phone and your password list is sitting back at home.<\/p>\n

So What\u2019s the Solution?<\/h1>\n

Here\u2019s a good solution that takes away all the negatives of the options mentioned above: <\/strong>use password manager software.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Password manager software not only securely organizes all of your passwords and keeps them in one encrypted place, a lot of these apps have other useful features such as auto logins and the ability to fill in a long form with just a click or two.<\/p>\n

Of course if you start searching for password management software, you\u2019re likely to get pretty overwhelmed. There are a lot of options out there, and it\u2019s hard to know which ones to trust and which ones are right for you.<\/p>\n
