Insight:
Password Manager
|
Statistically, 65% of people reuse the same password for multiple applications. (info). But what are the risks of this practice?
If some hackers were to steal the password of one application, through the technique of Credential Stuffing (info) they could access all other applications that use the same password. Therefore, it is essential to use different passwords for each service. This way, in case of theft, the damage would be limited.
However, remembering many complex passwords can be really challenging. For this reason, many users tend to save them on paper or files.This, however, poses a risk. If an attacker were to obtain that file or paper, they would have access to all the user’s credentials, defeating the purpose of using different and secure passwords.
This is where Password Managers come into play.
These tools allow you to store passwords securely and in encrypted form, inside a sort of "virtual vault," accessible only through a Master Password. So, you just need to remember one complex password to securely manage all your credentials.
