Hire a Password Manager
By Todd Miller, Information Security Officer  

You should hire a password manager, who is really an assistant. A password manager is an application (available for desktop or mobile) that will keep all your passwords in a secured (encrypted) file. Of course you will need to remember one password to access all your other passwords, because we all know that you have a ton of passwords since none are alike. You would never use the same password for Facebook as Online Banking, right? The encrypted file can be shared among multiple computers and phones, or through a file share. A password manager can help you avoid these common security risks:

• Typing passwords to login each time can be dangerous in itself. Malicious keyloggers designed to secretly monitor keystrokes can record your passwords as you type them. 
• Remembering multiple passwords, especially if you have carefully picked a password that is complicated. Most people tend to use the same or similar passwords for different accounts, which means that if one password is exposed, criminals can login to all those accounts.
• Storing passwords in a document or writing them down.  This creates a very high risk of being affected by a breach or simply losing the information.
