Cybersecurity Awareness Month makes it the perfect time to review best practices to secure your personal information online.

Using the same password for multiple accounts may be convenient, but it can put your information at risk. If one account is exposed in a data breach, criminals may try that same password on your other accounts. A password manager helps prevent this by securely storing your passwords and creating strong, unique passwords for each account. Instead of remembering dozens of passwords, you only need to remember the master password that unlocks your password manager. 

The National Cybersecurity Alliance recommends taking the following steps to get started:

• Choose a reputable password manager.
• Create a strong master password. This is the password you will use to unlock your password manager, so make it strong and memorable.
• Turn on multi factor authentication to add another layer of protection to your password manager.
• Add your passwords to your password manager as you log in to your accounts or import them all at once if your password manager provides that option.
