veryone needs a password manager. Most sites you visit insist you create
a username and think up a password, from dating apps to hyper-secure
banking websites. The human memory can’t keep up with dozens and
dozens of these arcane combinations of letters, numbers, and symbols. Some
folks get the bright idea to use the simplest possible passwords, easy-to-
remember phrases such as “12345678” or “password.” Others memorize one
superbly random password and use it for everything. Either path is likely to
make you a victim of identity theft.

With a password manager, you don’t have to remember a strong, unique
password for every website. The password manager takes care of that and even
helps you come up with random passwords. We’ve tested and analyzed dozens,
so you can pick the password manager that best suits your needs.
