Best security software to protect your passwords

Malicious actors hoping to steal your login and payment credentials pose a significant threat, making password management software extremely useful for protecting your sensitive information.

These tools can generate new, random passwords for all the sites and platforms you visit and store them securely. Some of the best ones on the market include Norton, Nord, Dashlane, Bitwarden, and 1Password.

What are the benefits of using a password manager?

Let me AI that for you.

Password managers offer several benefits:

1. Secure Storage: They store passwords in an encrypted format and require a master password.
2. Strong Passwords: They generate secure, unique passwords for all your accounts.
3. Auto-fill: They autofill your login information on recognized websites.
4. Additional Storage: They allow storage of other information like credit card numbers and addresses.
5. Identity Protection: They reduce the risk of identity theft by using unique passwords for each account.
6. Two-Factor Authentication: Some support two-factor authentication for added security.

Remember to choose a reputable manager, keep your master password secure, and ensure regular updates.

I really liked 1Password until they nerfed my licence. Switched to Bitwarden and been happy ever since

I like KeepassXC and sync the database in either Google Drive or Onedrive. A nice additional feature is that you can store ssh keys and pass them to your ssh client.

Looks like I'm the only one using Strongbox.

I feel so odd-one-outish.

 

[W@P]

Ok I signed up for 1password.

Ok I signed up for 1password.

Expensive Bitwarden is just $10 per year.

 

[neoprema]

There are many. But only 1Password is the real one. The rest wish they were 1Password

Keychain - it just makes the most sense for me.
