Passwords are a poor way to prove a user's identity.

They are easily shared, written down, and leaked.

there are so many to remember! Password managers are encrypted vaults that hold your passwords so you don't need to memorize them or write them down. Besides keeping your identity, credentials, and sensitive data safe, a password manager can generate strong, unique passwords to ensure you aren't reusing them across your devices and services. This way, you can use a much longer, complex, and ultimately more secure password. An additional benefit with many password managers is that you can use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) with them. Common password management applications include:

• -LastPass
• -KeePass
• -1Password
• -Dashlane

• inspects uploaded files and website URLs with over 70
• antivirus scanners and URL/domain blacklisting services.
