===Password managers===
−
Almost everyone has seem warnings when they created online accounts to never use the same password as they have on any other website.  They put that message there for a reason.  One could either say it is there because they was to keep you safe, or that it is in place so they do not get sued when people do just this, and have someone break into their account later.  Either way, the fact remains that using the same password over and over puts people very much at risk.  If any one of those websites is compromised, every other account such people hold can also be taken over.  It is often for this reason that a few people occasionally lose their entire digital life.<br />

Although a password manager is a convenience item, it can be a very important one.  Most people cannot remember more than five passwords, so they simply reuse the one or ones over and over.  A password manager is an easy way for people to make unique passwords for each website, and still only need to remember one—the master password for the password manager.<ref>http://www.scsccbkk.org/Use%20a%20Password%20Manager%20for%20Security.pdf</ref>  Some managers even include a random code generator, which can be used to create a strong password that no human needs to remember.  Such passwords are not only unique, but also impervious to "dictionary attacks" and very strong against "brute-force" attacks.
