If you're still reusing passwords or storing them in your browser, it's worth taking a look at a dedicated password manager. Here are my recommendations:

It's secure, easy to use, works across Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android, and makes creating and storing strong, unique passwords effortless. It's especially great for families and professionals who want a polished experience.

NordPass offers excellent security, a clean interface, support for passkeys, and reliable syncing across your devices. It's a great option if you're looking for a simple, modern password manager.

While LastPass has improved its security, the company experienced a significant breach in 2022 that exposed encrypted customer vaults. Many security professionals have since moved to alternatives with stronger trust records. There are simply better options available today.
๐ What about browser password managers?
Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox all include built-in password managers, and they're certainly better than using the same password everywhere. However, dedicated password managers generally offer stronger security features, better password sharing, encrypted notes, emergency access, more detailed security reports, and a more consistent experience across different devices and browsers.
๐ And Apple's Passwords app?
If you live entirely in the Apple ecosystem (Mac, iPhone, and iPad), Apple's built-in Passwords app is actually a very good option. It's encrypted, supports passkeys and two-factor authentication codes, and syncs securely through iCloud Keychain. The main limitation is that it's designed primarily for Apple devices, so if you regularly use Windows PCs or Android devices, a dedicated cross-platform password manager like 1Password or NordPass is usually the better choice.
๐ก A few password tips:
โข Use a long, memorable passphrase as your master password.
โข Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) for your password manager.
โข Let your password manager generate unique passwords for every account.
โข Store your recovery or emergency access information somewhere safe.
โข Use passkeys whenever they're're availableโthey're even more resistant to phishing than traditional passwords.
A good password manager is one of the simplest and most effective ways to improve your online security.
