Remember that I taught you how to create secure passwords , and that each one should be different from the rest, and thus not cause a fall in domain of all your services.

But of course, you find that you are registered in three or four social networks, your email account, the passwords of the bank, the mobile phone forum, and several websites. Not to mention ebay, amazon, and similar stores.

And when you become a digital entrepreneur, the problem is exacerbated, because we need to be registered in various services.

Do you really have to remember all these passwords by heart? And even if it teaches you techniques that would help you solve the problem, in the end we can mess it up, and have to always resort to remembering website passwords.

The Solution To Store Passwords Safely And Easily.

The problem of how to store passwords securely has existed since we started creating service accounts on the Internet.

One thing is clear.

You should not leave them written down in an agenda in your desk or office drawer. I catch you!.

Or the extreme case, I have seen things that you would not believe: Attacking ships on fire beyond Orion… I lost my grip! Seriously, I have seen things that you would not believe , such as post-it with the username and password to log in to a computer, which has access to the accounting system of a public administration, or the payroll system… and although these systems are protected , passwords are shared!

And it is also not a solution to put the passwords in a password-protected Word or Excel , as these are easily hackable.

So the simple and safe solution to save passwords is to use specific software for it . The advantages are many:

• They securely encrypt your password database with hard-to-crack algorithms. This way, even if they catch your password file, they won’t be able to open it if they don’t know the master password.
• You can organize your passwords into categories, and thus locate them better.
• They incorporate strong password generators, so you can use them to have a strong and different password for each service and let the software remember it for you.
• Many integrate with the most common browsers, so your passwords are stored securely wherever they are, and you always have them at your fingertips.

Of these programs we can find several.

You can use free software like KeePass , or commercial software, with some more advanced features like RoboForm .

Why do I use LastPass to save my passwords?

  • If, for example, you create a temporary account, or one that you must share, you can do so safely, without sending it by email or other non-encrypted means.
  • You have a backup of your passwords in the cloud, so if you change computers, you can recover them.
  • Passwords are encrypted on your computer. Only with your password can they be recovered.
  • Carry your passwords safely on a USB key.
  • You can protect yourself from keyloggers using a virtual on-screen keyboard, and typing with the mouse, and even use one-time passwords.
