Nearly everything you use on your phone needs a password—from online banking and social media to productivity tools and e-commerce websites.
It’s wise to have strong and different passwords for each service you use to protect yourself from breaches of your personal data.
However, remembering multiple passwords made up of long strings of upper and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters is far from simple. That’s where password managers are a great help.
They make it easy for you to create strong, unique passwords for each service you use and change them as often as you want. They streamline the process of signing in; plus, some have value-added features like secure access to credit card information.
