# Password Manager * It is common for individuals and teams to use the same account and password for many accounts they have. Another habit to use the same username, but slightly change the password each time a new account is made on a new application, or website, etc. The problem is if a bad actors gains your password, they can then log into any other accounts you may have. Or they can easily brute force additional passwords. * Use a password manager. Create different, complicated password for every account. We all have many accounts for multiple email accounts, websites, cryto sites, retails site, and so on. But you can use a password manager to maintain your encrypted passwords. Then create another unique password for the password manager. That is then what you routinely use. * Examples: Lastpass or Keypass, bitwarden, 1password, and Dashlane * Be careful with using password managers, as you would with any other application. For example, Lastpass released that they had user data compromised. I believe that Bitwarden (and possibly 1password) has self hosting. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
