Password manager: How to manage your passwords

A password manager helps you manage your passwords by storing all passwords in your password manager. The program encrypts the passwords, preventing third parties from accessing them. For management purposes, you will receive a master password. You then only need to remember this master password.

Manage passwords with a password manager

Passwords are stored in a password manager. The user then no longer has to remember individual passwords for different accounts. The password manager stores the passwords in an encrypted document that you can access only with a master password. This password is the only one you need to know. Many password managers offer a suitable add-on that automatically inserts passwords on websites. This way, you don't have to copy and paste the passwords, but can log in anywhere with one click. If you travel a lot or use different devices, you can also use a USB stick and install a password manager here. Then the passwords are always available.
