Using a single password on the internet is often a recipe
for disaster. One account creation on the wrong site, and all of your accounts
can be compromised.
On the other hand, how can you remember all
of these passwords for each site, and which one you used where? It's a
herculean task of memory. To make your life easier, there is software that will
take care of it for you. Never click on "Forgot your password again."
Read on to learn more.
Many sites are starting to
use Facebook's login technology to verify your account, which means the only
password you'll need is the one for Facebook. To take advantage of Facebook
connect, simply click on the Facebook icon. You'll see a small Facebook overlay
verifying your attempt to log in using Facebook. Comply and you'll be logged in
with a single click.
Using an online solution is great for sites that support
those kinds of logins, but there are thousands of other sites that don't.
Browsers are another alternative. Most
browsers store your passwords and will autofill them when you surf to a page it
recognizes. The problem is when you upgrade your browser or if you ever have to
reinstall, you lose all of those passwords in one foul sweep.
The best way to organize and secure your
passwords under one is using software like Keepass (Windows,
Linux, and Mac) or the Agile Web Solutions' popular 1Password software.
These applications will create very secure
passwords for every site you create an account for and store it locally on your
computer under a single password. When it detects a login, it will give you the
option to fill in your account settings for you, using the password you enter
or an ultra-secure password it has generated for you
