The use of a password manager can help you to set secure passwords without needing to worry about remembering them. Protect your different accounts by setting complex passwords using a mix of characters and having them pre-saved within an airtight password manager.

As with any piece of technology, there are positive and negative aspects you need to consider.

A password manager can

  • Negate the need to remember hundreds of unique passwords
  • Create secure passwords on your behalf
  • Be used across multiple devices
  • Encrypt your accounts

However, you need to keep in mind that

  • A password manager is not infallible. There is always the chance of cyber security breaches. The use of a password manager means there is only a single point of failure before all your passwords are known to a hacker
  • You should choose a password manager that also utilises multi-factor authentication
  • They can be somewhat tricky to set up

With these points in mind, you can then choose from some of the top password manager brands in use by businesses.

NordPass

NordPass first launched in 2019. Over the last few years, they have become trusted for businesses and individuals alike in managing passwords securely.

Things that make it great:

  • Use of multi-factor authentication
  • Family plan covers up to 6 accounts
  • Simple app
  • High-end encryption
  • Use of biometric authentication
  • Scan for data breaches

Areas of improvement:

  • Free version lacks multi-device capabilities
  • Need to install extensions to be able to use autofill
  • Searching and filtering can be tedious

DashLane

DashLane was first available to the public in 2012. This subscription-based password manager can help you to keep your data secure.

Things that make it great:

  • Options for both business and personal users
  • Dark Web insights
  • VPN capabilities
  • Secure sharing
  • Unlimited passwords for businesses
  • Real-time alerts
  • Free ‘Friends and Family’ plan for all Business plan holders

Areas of improvement:

  • Subscription only, meaning no free option

  • Not as many biometric authentication options as other providers

Keeper

For more blogs

Keeper Security Inc released their password manager at the beginning of 2009. They also offer several other different cyber security options to keep your business safe.

Things that make it great:

  • Generates and stores strong passwords
  • Easy to use
  • Password sharing features

  • Auditing
  • Greater organisation
  • Limited entry attempts

Areas of improvement:

LastPass

LastPass is a well-known password manager, available for computers and smartphones alike. However, some more recent issues may cause wariness about the brand.

  • Password vault

Areas of improvement:

  • Has been subject to several data breaches in the last few years
  • Limited support
  • Downtime can be frustrating

Google

The Google Password Manager is a great tool associated with the Chrome browser. While this does limit its capabilities in some ways, it does allow you to store your information alongside your Google account, making it easy to access whenever you sign in.

Things that make it great:

  • Completely free to use
  • Easy to use
  • Can also securely store payment information
  • Informs of any password breaches
  • Easy to use search function

Areas of improvement:

  • No app – usage is via Google Chrome browser
  • Limited security details
  • Can fail to store/update passwords correctly alongside usernames

Help with setting up and using a password manager

When used correctly, a password manager can help to keep your accounts secure and give you that extra peace of mind. Choosing a password manager brand will depend entirely on how you plan to use it. Those who don’t have many accounts or users may want to opt for a free or low-price plan. Larger businesses, or those after a greater level of security and alerts, may fare better with a subscription service.

Discussing your needs with IT specialists can allow you to start utilising password manager systems today. By focusing more on account and device security, you can prevent hackers from gaining access to your sensitive data.
