Have You a Tried a Dedicated Password Manager Yet?

Browser-based password managers do not encrypt your passwords—they merely cloak them. Anyone with access to your computer can view all your saved passwords.

There are several reasons why you shouldn't rely on your browser's password manager. If you must use them, include additional security measures like two-factor authentication.

Better yet, use dedicated password managers to save and manage all your passwords. This will strengthen your online security and give you extra peace of mind as you browse the internet.
