Passwords, ugh, love them hate them but we gotta deal with them, for now.
In today’s digital world, it is critical to protect our accounts from potential security breaches. One of the most effective measures for safeguarding our passwords is to use a password management program. Password Management programs allow you to create strong, unique passwords for each of your accounts and store them securely in an encrypted vault. Additionally, some of these programs have various security features such as two-factor authentication, password auditing, and alerts for breached passwords to ensure maximum protection.
Password Management programs are not only a powerful security tool but also a valuable estate planning resource. The best of these programs allow you to designate a trusted emergency contact, you can grant them access to your account information after you pass away, ensuring that your digital assets are protected and accessible to your loved ones.
In the past, I struggled to manage and secure over 200 account passwords that I had jotted down on notecards. But since I started using a password management program, I’ve found it to be an efficient and secure solution for managing my passwords.
I wouldn’t want to leave you without giving you my recommendation of a good password managment program, I’ve used Lastpass for several years and have found it a good solution for myself and my clients. Just don’t forget that we are the weakest link, we’ll always be the weakest link.
