¶ What is a Password Manager and Why is it Needed?
In today's digital world, managing numerous online accounts with strong, unique passwords is crucial for security. However, remembering complex passwords for each account is challenging. Here's where password managers come in.
A password manager is a secure application that stores and manages your login credentials (usernames and passwords) for various websites and applications. It eliminates the need to remember individual passwords and allows you to generate strong, unique passwords for each account. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access due to password reuse or weak passwords.
