The article considered whether it is better to use the intrinsic password manager already built-in to your web browser (most web browsers now offer to save your passwords) or to use an extrinsic third-party app like Bitwarden . Let’s review the arguments he presented in his article and determine if it is safe to use a browser’s built-in password manager. https://artfulenigma.com/articles/how-to-create-and-manage-strong-passwords/ Thu, 09 Jul 2020 11:30:03 +0000 https://artfulenigma.com/articles/how-to-create-and-manage-strong-passwords/ We all know we should use secure passwords, but, how do you balance the necessity of highly secure passwords with the ability to easily recall them when needed? Depending on which study you read, the average person has 27 online accounts and between 70-80 passwords to remember. As a result, many people choose the path of least resistance (I’m working on a future post about this) so either use simple, easy to remember (and guess) passwords, or use the same password everywhere.
