Use a password manager
Hey friends So today I just want to talk about password managers really
quick So like, this is gonna be pretty short but I just wanted to beg you
for all that is good in the world. Please use a password manager. I use one
password. I've been using it for a few years and I love it.
I can't even imagine my life without this. Especially with my wife and I
who we share a lot of logins for like our insurance and stuff like that,
like I just can't even imagine having to manage that between the two of us.
We used to have like a little algorithm to generate the password based on
the service.
It's so like it that we just memorized it was no good. Use a password
manager. Now one thing that I wanted to mention about password managers is
like one password is you can actually save your one-time passwords or like
your two-factor authentication stuff within one password. And that sort of
defeats the purpose of QFA but not exactly I'm actually fine.
I putting it directly in one password. It's it is so easy. It's actually
makes two factor authentication just like dead simple. And if you have a
secure enough password for your,One password then not even one password
could get into that. Like it's it is really encrypted and and secure.
I I'm not afraid of losing access or losing or having my one password
credentials hacked or anything like that. I'm really confident in that. And
so given that I am all for the convenience that that storing these
passwords in one password along with the two-factor authentication codes
and just makes it so easy.
Man, I love it. I love it. It's so awesome.Definitely if you are not using
a password manager seriously like you think that it's gonna be a lot of
work and it will but it's something you can do over time and you will thank
yourself over and over and you'll maybe maybe you'll thank me.
If you're not using a password manager right now, then shoot me a message
and ask me or and like after you've started using it and say thanks can't
because you will. It is so great. All right, hopefully that is helpful have
a wonderful password manager day and we'll talk to you later.
Bye.
