Storing sensitive passwords

Do you store your bank passwords in a file on your computer? Or maybe on a post-it note in your office? It's time to think again. The safest solution is to use a Password Manager — a digital "vault" for your passwords. If you prefer offline storage, hide your passwords in an encrypted file with software like VeraCrypt. Never use auto-fill or save passwords in browsers without additional protection. And most importantly: enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) where possible. Your security starts with the way you manage your passwords. If you want professional security for your data, check out our Basic Security Pack or contact us.

Do not use auto-fill from browsers

They are often easily accessible by malware or a third party using the same PC.
It is better to disable saving passwords in the browser.
