What Password manager means
A password manager makes unique passwords practical, which defeats credential stuffing. Business versions let teams share access securely and remove it when someone leaves. Protect the manager itself with a strong master password and MFA.
Why it matters for your website
Reusing passwords means one breach can expose your website, email and bank accounts all at once. A password manager makes unique, strong passwords easy, so that risk drops. Business plans also let you share logins safely with staff and contractors and remove access when they leave.
Example
A small agency stores client hosting and CMS logins in a shared password manager vault. When a contractor's project ends, the owner removes his access in one step.
Tips
- Protect your password manager with a strong master password and MFA.
- Use shared folders for team logins instead of sending passwords by email or text.
- Run the built-in check for reused or weak passwords and fix the worst ones first.
Common mistakes
- Keeping website logins in a spreadsheet or sticky notes.
- Sharing one admin login among several people instead of giving each person an account.
Questions about Password manager
What is Password manager?
An app that creates, stores and fills strong, unique passwords for every account.
Are password managers safe to use?
Reputable ones encrypt your data so only someone with your master password can open the vault. They are far safer than reusing passwords, especially with MFA turned on.
Is a browser's built-in password manager good enough?
It's much better than reusing passwords. Dedicated password managers usually add more features for sharing, auditing and working across browsers and devices.
