Have you considered a password manager yet? We're all urged to protect ourselves and our personal data by using -- and remembering! -- a complex and unique password for each of our many, many online accounts. It's a lot. But these security solutions can vastly reduce the frustrating chore of staying secure. Password managers, such as 1Password, Bitwarden, and NordPass, can store complex credentials for you, working across various devices and platforms so your passwords are always at hand. Your usernames and passwords are held in an encrypted, secure vault, which then can be autofilled when you need access to an account -- and they can also generate random and complex passwords for you.
