Still using **12345** or your pet’s name?

Still using 12345 or your pet’s name?

Here’s why a password manager is the easiest upgrade you can make today.

Why bother?

  • Generates super‑strong passwords (you never have to think of one again).
  • Stores them in one encrypted “vault.”
  • Autofills login boxes, saving time on every site.
  • Works on phone & laptop with one master password.

Popular options

Manager Free Plan? Works On Stand‑out Feature
Bitwarden Yes iOS, Android, Web Open‑source & unlimited devices
LastPass Yes (limited) iOS, Android, Web Easy emergency access for family
1Password Trial only iOS, Android, Web Travel Mode hides sensitive vaults

Quick start in 30 seconds

  1. Pick one manager (Bitwarden is 100 % free).
  2. Create one strong master password (write it on paper).
  3. Install the browser extension.
  4. Each time you log in somewhere, click “Save”—done!

_Peace of mind beats memorizing 30 versions of “password123.”
