Using a Password Manager

A password manager helps you create and store strong, unique passwords for every account — so you don’t have to remember them all.

Why you need one:

  • Reusing passwords puts all your accounts at risk.
  • Password managers help you use unique passwords safely and easily.

How it works:

  • You create one master password.
  • The manager stores the rest of your passwords securely.
  • It auto-fills login forms in your browser and apps.

Popular password managers for students:

  • Bitwarden (Free, open-source, student-friendly)
  • 1Password (Offers student discounts)
  • LastPass (Free plan available)

Security tips:

  • Never share your master password.
  • Use MFA on your password manager account.
  • Avoid saving passwords in browsers without protection.
