Reminder to check out password managers!

If you're not already using one, I recommend everyone to look into password managers. They're really easy to implement into your workflow, and there are plenty to choose from.

Personally, I use LastPass and have been very happy with the service, but there may be better ones for you.

I'm posting this as a friendly security reminder to look into some of these applications! They stop the hassle of remembering different passwords while keeping you safer than you would be using the same passwords out of laziness.

Especially when you have dozens of sites/pbns. I was tempted to buy one password but I believe the changed their pricing from a fixed fee to a monthly subscription (greedy, tbh, as the software runs locally not in the cloud).

Yeah, the initial reason that made me download LastPass was to more easily manage multiple sites

They are useful, but I always hesitate about relying too much on these. They are also a "single point of failure"

Yes, good point. It's best practice to keep at least some passwords stored in your head exclusively. There are some details I won't put into LastPass.
