Password Manager
Definition
Software that securely stores and generates strong, unique passwords.
In Plain English
A password manager is like a secure vault for all your keys—you only need to remember one master key.
Real-World Example
1Password or Bitwarden stores all your passwords securely, generating unique ones for each account.
Why It Matters for Your Work
Reused passwords are a major security risk. Password managers make unique passwords practical.
Common Mistake
Using browser password saving without understanding its security. Dedicated managers are more secure.
