He shows us how the managers work. And the convenience and safety they can bring to your digital life. Most of us have a notebook or a file folder hiding in plain sight we keep near our computer at home with all our passwords written out. Theres too many to remember. And we are supposed to make them all different make them long, complex and change them every 6 months. Its annoying. BPassword Managers can do all that for you. And give you a better chance of not getting hacked there are dozens of good ones out there. They all basically offer the same thing after researching and looking at a lot of reviews and speaking with users i picked dashlane password manager to try out. And im liking it it works on all devices for phones or tablets its an app for computers you download the software its free if you only use it on one device. Or 40 a year if you use multiple devices. When you first create an account you choose one password that will be your master password for everything only you know it its in your head. Never write it down. Then dashlane creates crazy complex passwords for all your accounts. And it will automatically log you in whenever you visit those websites or apps. So even though your password to bank of america or netflix will actually be Something Like this. You only have to remember your master password you chose for dashlane. Every 6 months you can jump into your dashlane settings and have the Program Change all your passwords for you to a different stiring of complex characters. But as always you still only need to remember your one master password if you need to jump on a device or laptops that is not yours and access your websites or apps like at an internet cafe or on friends laptop Password Managers still work. Sot emanual so lets address the elephant in the room. I asked emanuel who helped build dashlane why would we put all our eggs in one basket . What if dashlane gets hacked and then all your accounts are vulnerable because you only have one password to unlock them all. Sot emanualthere is no backdoor to dashlane. A judge cant supena them for your password or to open your account. They cant. Safety comes with price if you forget your master password they cant help you youre locked out for good. You would have to reset all your passwords directly with your accounts and start over with a new dashlane account or with another password manager so if you go down this route make sure you can commit.
