Password Manager
A password manager is a type of software that stores, creates and manages passwords for accounts. It helps users keep track of multiple usernames and passwords across different websites, applications, and services. Password managers typically store the user’s credentials in an encrypted database or vault to protect them from theft or misuse. Some password managers also offer additional features such as two-factor authentication (2FA), secure file storage, auto-fill forms, etc.
Using a password manager can help protect your data from potential breaches by allowing you to use unique and strong passwords for each account without having to remember them all; it also makes logging into various sites easier by automatically completing logins after entering just one master password. This reduces the risk of online identity theft since even if someone else were able to get access to your login information they would still need your master password before being able to actually gain access to any sensitive data stored with the service provider.
When choosing a particular password manager consider its security measures such as encryption protocols used, 2FA options available (if needed) as well as other features like auto-fill forms, secure file sharing capabilities etc., depending on what suits best for your needs. Lastly always make sure that you back up your files regularly so that in case of any unforeseen circumstance you will be able to restore all important data quickly and easily.
