The average person has 90+ online accounts but uses the same password for most of them. If that password gets stolen, criminals can access everything from your email to your bank account. For seniors, this vulnerability is especially dangerous. 🔑

‍

Password managers solve this problem by creating unique, complex passwords for every account and storing them securely. Think of it as a high-tech version of the address book you might keep by your phone, but infinitely more secure and convenient.

‍

Many seniors worry about trusting their passwords to technology, but consider this: password managers use the same encryption that protects government secrets. Meanwhile, writing passwords on paper or reusing simple passwords puts you at far greater risk. The FBI and cybersecurity experts universally recommend password managers as essential protection.

‍

1. Start with your device's built-in password manager (Keychain on Apple or Saved Passwords in browser)
2. Create one strong master password that's memorable to you
3. Begin by saving passwords for your most important accounts (email, banking, shopping)
4. Let the password manager create strong, unique passwords for new accounts
5. When done, enjoy automatic login on your trusted devices
