Then you only need to remember the password for the app. Since you don't have to remember them, you are free to follow best practices:<br />- When a system allows, my passwords are 15 characters<br />- They are random and generated by the app<br />- I use upper and lower case, numbers, and symbols<br />- I use a different password for every website and application<br /><br />The app even has a feature where it will generate passwords for you, and it also gives you a security score, so you can see how well you are doing. The charges are low ($10 a year, I think).<br /><br />I never have to worry about compromised passwords.Divemedichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14583007051962299381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-63235763378737038312019-02-12T23:11:16.692-05:002019-02-12T23:11:16.692-05:00Divemedic is correct.
