Password strength is a huge step in keeping your personal data and account information safe and secure. You have a lot of personal data you keep on so many devices and services even if you don’t realize it. And all of that’s true, people can absolutely get to that information and pretend to be you if you have insecure, easily guessable passwords. Most people talk about banking information, social security numbers, identity theft, the works. Using a password manager can help improve security by allowing users to easily create unique, strong passwords for every site they use. These practices can mean a single security breach for one website affects many more accounts for an individual reusing passwords. But it’s impossible to remember all of those unique credentials, so many people tend to reuse passwords for many sites and write them down. The easiest way to protect an individual’s information online is to have unique, strong passwords for every account.
