The Importance of Password Security

Using a password manager is key to secure your credentials in today’s online environment.

A Few of the Most Common Websites

There are many websites that require a unique and secure password. Here are a few of the most commonly accessed websites. Many of us have individual logins to these sites and utilize them on a daily basis. 

Don’t Fall for the Trap of Re-Used Passwords

That being said, if we are reusing the same passwords across all of these sites, which is human nature, it puts us in a bad situation if one of those sites unfortunately gets exposed.  You may be at risk that all of those sites could get exposed. 

Protect from Breaches with Unique Passwords

Bitwarden helps protect you from Password breaches. Password breaches occur most often when folks use the same type of password, or maybe a mild variation in between the different websites they visit.

Using unique passwords for each site can save you from a breach.  If one of your sites unfortunately has a breach, you would just need to update one password and not have to worry about all of the others. 

Bitwarden helps you protect yourself against these types of attacks by having strong and unique passwords for every service you use.

Experts Recommend

Experts recommend a few basic rules for keeping your passwords unique and secure. It's recommended to have them long, between 8 to 12 characters, however 14 characters or longer is better. Of course, more complex, with numbers, symbols, upper and lowercase letters, and maybe even emojis these days. Random, it's important not to have a known pattern. And unique. You must have a different password for every service you use.

This is impossible for all of us to remember each and every unique password for all of the sites you access.
