Passwords: Adopt a Manager (and Stop Using Post-its)

Reusing the same password everywhere is the #1 online risk. The solution is one word: a manager.

Passwords: adopt a manager (and stop using sticky notes)

Why it’s essential

It generates and stores unique and complex passwords. You only remember one master password.

A password manager creates strong, different passwords for each site. You only need to remember one main password to access them all.

How to choose

  • iCloud Keychain: free, integrated into the Apple ecosystem.
  • Bitwarden, 1Password: multi-platform, very complete.

If you use Bitwarden, it can create a 16-character password like “x7#Kp9!Lm2$Qv5@Rt” for your bank and another like “aB3$kL8!pQ2#mN9” for your email. You only need to remember your Bitwarden master password.

The good extra reflex

Enable two-factor authentication wherever possible. Even a stolen password becomes useless.

A person scans a QR code with a smartphone to access a password manager.
A password manager simplifies and secures your authentication.
