Have you ever forgotten a password at the precisely the wrong time — like when you need to access a website or make a crucial payment? Do you still use “1111” as your password or rely on ones stored on your browser? If the answer is yes, or if you have been using the same password for years, you should read this article by Nicholas White of The Daily Dot about software programs that can help.
These programs can create and store random passwords, as well as personal and credit card information, that are compatible with most major browsers. They will also alert you when your password is weak or compromised, and can sync in the cloud with all your devices — even allowing you to share passwords with others if you want to.
So don’t wait until you can’t remember your password in an airport after a long red-eye flight — or worse, after somebody converts your frequent flyer mileage programs into gift cards.
