Asking for a Friend - Should I use a password manager?

October 2, 2023

Question:

I realize this is not a financial question, but I was recently sitting around with a group of friends, and we got on the subject of passwords. I remember you saying something about a password manager, but now I can't remember!

Personally, I have so many usernames and passwords for hundreds of websites that I use, do you think I should use a password manager?

Short answer: YES!

Long answer: While we are not cyber security experts, we work with one! He strongly recommends using a password manager. His top pick is 1Password. This "How to Geek" article also gives some good password tips and provides some password managers you might want to scope out.
