Keeping up with numerous usernames and passwords can be
a very frustrating task considering the number of online
tools you use. Like me, you may have a list of 20-30
username/password combinations that you use regularly.
Fortunately, there are products that solve this problem
for your PC, Mac, and mobile devices:
–
LastPass
–
1Password
Both of these products operate in much the same way.
They create a secure, encrypted “vault” that secures all
your credentials behind a single password. Whenever you
are prompted to login at a website, simply enter your
“master” password and these applications will enter your
credentials automatically. Whenever you create
credentials or change passwords for a website, these
products automatically store the data in your “vault.”
You only need to remember one password, that’s it. Your
data is secure in the cloud, and your credentials are
safe in your vault. |
