With so many password manages to choose from, it can often being confusing at times. There are the like of Password1, and others to choose from. There are many factors to consider when choosing a password manager: - Security - Number of devices it supports - Number of passwords it lets you store - Cost (free or paid options) - Password Generation - Browser support The one that I personally like is LastPass. LassPass allows you to store and save your passwords all in one place. It offers simple setup and a great user interface and supports all web browsers, like Google Chrome. I would recommend upgrading to the Premium product as it lets to access your passwords on your mobile device and other feature as well, Is it also one of the more affortable managers as it only costs $12 a year or $1 a month. For more information on how you can get premium visit LastPass Website . 10/10. Highly Recommended
