Cybersecurity education researcher. I am passionate about educating everyone on basic cyber hygiene. Also love movies, music, art, video games, nature and other things.

It’s incredibly easy for hackers to figure out what other sites/apps you use. They’ll then use fancy tools to try all the variations of your password on these accounts.

And you can use them to auto generate secure passwords so you don’t have to worry about that.

Why should you not use the same password (or even variations of the same password) everywhere? It’s simple. If one site/app/account is compromised,

These will automatically copy your passwords and authentication codes so you don’t have to type them. Makes logging in to apps/websites super easy.
