Are you sick of remembering long, strong, and unique passwords?  Are you using shared campaign email or other accounts and constantly need to bug your campaign manager when you forget passwords?

A Password Manager will help solve all of these issues- and much more! But what exactly is a Password Manager? 

In short, a Password Manager is an application or browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc.) extension that will store and auto-populate all of your web passwords. It will keep them safe, as many password managers use MFA, and store your accounts on encrypted servers. 

In other words, a password manager will relieve you from creating passwords you can't remember or from crating weak, easily hackable passwords by generating secure, random passwords for you. You will only need to memorize your master password to activate the software. Many password managers allow you access (via the cloud) to your passwords from multiple devices so you can get into accounts easily whether on your computer or phone.
