If you've never used a password manager as part of your online safety
regimen, you've been playing with fire. Don't get burned, because
password hacking is relatively easy. An online password manager can help
take the target off your rear.



Save it in your web browser



If you need online safety, in-browser password management is always a
good idea. All browsers have it, and it is really convenient. It will
help protect you as long as you do not do it on a public computer. The
web browser will save your passwords and log-in data.



Password generation



Another brilliant idea was to create one master password that only you
know that unlocks anything else. Web-based password management options
such as Roboform Everywhere and LastPass can help you with this.
Anything happens locally on your computer, which means you might be in
danger if someone else utilizes the computer too. You will even need to
make sure your master password is much stronger than an average
password, and do not repeat it with other passwords.
