Staff Top Tip

Password Manager

You will hear people say that you shouldn’t use the same passwords for your accounts across the internet. Especially for important accounts like banking, email, shopping and social media. But we all have the same struggle- having lots of different passwords and having to remember them is extremely hard! This is why a password manager is so important. A password manager can store all your passwords securely. It creates unique, strong passwords for all of your accounts without you having to worry about remembering them.
