Security
Just like backups, the best security protocol is the one you will use.
Security
The best way to keep your passwords different and secure is to use a password manager. ⭐️ The best password to use is a passphrase.
Getting used to using a password manager is a great investment in your overall experience of using the Internet. Most password managers have browser plugins that can fill login forms automatically.
-
Bitwarden: free and open source, multiplatform, simple to use. Very modern and well-regarded.
-
LastPass: popular commercial password manager. It’s been around along time and has a good reputation.
-
1Password: high quality commercial (paid) option. It’s been around along time and has a good reputation.
Our recommendation: Bitwarden
Some universities offer LastPass free to staff, but the app is not as seamless as Bitwarden, and your license will not come with you if you leave the university. For that reason, we recommend going with Bitwarden.
