Quick Tips
Hackers are constantly trying to tap into our accounts by stealing passwords. If you use the same password for multiple accounts, then your personal data is vulnerable.
Effective password security is crucial to maintaining your data security. The single most effective step you can take to secure your accounts is to use a password manager.
A Password Manager is a tool that stores your usernames and passwords in one secure place. A good password manager will generate a unique password for each different account that you use, and then automatically sign you in when needed. As long as your password management account is secure, then so are your accounts.
If you have a Google account then you have a password manager! Read more about Google’s built in password manager here.
