What is a Password Manager?
A password manager is a software application designed to securely store and manage your passwords. It generates strong, unique passwords for each account and stores them in an encrypted database, allowing you to access them with a single master password.
Benefits of Using a Password Manager
Password managers enhance security by generating strong, unique passwords for each account, significantly reducing hacking risks. They offer convenience with a single master password to access all your saved passwords and save time by automatically filling in login details.
Why Browser Password Managers Fall Short
Storing credentials in browser-built password managers can be risky as they often lack the robust security features of dedicated password managers. While some browsers have improved security, passwords are typically stored in plain text rather than strong encryption, making them more vulnerable to hacking.
