Have you ever stopped to think about the number of different services you use every day? Surely there are many, and in most of them we store and share all kinds of private information. However, How many different passwords do you have?Are they really safe? And most importantly, where do you keep them?
Passwords are our great treasure. They are the gateway to practically our entire digital life. What if someone gets to know your email password? Better not think about it, but if we don’t want it to happen we must do our part.
And beware, we are no longer just talking about someone attacking us directly or that we “lose” our password by having it written on a piece of paper in our wallet or stuck to the computer screen. Over the last few years we have seen countless cases of large services and applications that have suffered a security breach and millions of users and passwords have been leaked. Among them may be ours.
A basic rule security is not to use the same password for everything. Easy right? According to one of the latest studies by Panda Security, half of Spaniards use the same password for all their accounts. Big mistake.
In addition, these studies also reveal very undesirable habits: 90% of users believe that their passwords are secure and “difficult” to guess, but the reality is that the vast majority of passwords they are not robust. It is not enough to combine uppercase, lowercase and numbers, much less add common words or dates. Any attacker who set his mind to do so could quickly crack them.
Manage all your passwords
With this situation we find ourselves before another problem: memorize all our passwords.
If we have different passwords for different services, and they are also complete passwords, with special characters and symbols, the task of memorizing them becomes practically impossible. That is not to mention that there will be passwords that we only use every X months and others daily.
Panda Security’s password manager wants to make things much easier for us, a single place from which to access all the login data of our accounts, as well as any personal information that we want to keep well saved.
