Save Logins With a Password Manager

Almost every app and website requires a new account. Password managers can make that less complicated, with auto-fill features, a password generator, and even more.

Keeping track of passwords is harder than ever. Almost every app and website requires their users to make an account, and keeping track of all of them can be overwhelming. Luckily, password managers take care of that problem. They can store as many usernames and passwords as needed, and all of it stays securely encrypted by a master password you pick.

Getting started with one is quite easy. First, pick out a password manager to use. Bitwarden's free plan is a great option, but there are plenty of alternatives. Create an account, and make sure to use a master password that is both secure and easy to remember. It can be very hard to reset master passwords, so make sure you keep a printed copy of it in a secure place.

Now, you can import all your old logins. If you used a browser to save your passwords, your password manager will likely have a guide showing how to import them. Otherwise, enter them manually, and make sure they stay organized in folders. Install your password manager's app on all your devices to make entering passwords simple.

Two-factor authentication for your password manager is optional, but it is a good idea to enable it. It requires both your password and a code from a generator app to log in, ensuring that only you can access your valuable data. This usually involves scanning a QR code with an app and entering the six-digit code it gives.

Now all your logins are in one secure place! Feel free to change your passwords to more complicated ones since you do not have to memorize them anymore.
