Are password managers safe?

Yes. Password manager security is built on strong encryption and secure storage practices to protect your sensitive information. While no tool is completely invulnerable, reputable password managers use advanced safeguards to minimize the risk of unauthorized access.

Can password managers be hacked?

Although most password managers use strong security measures, such as ultra-secure AES-256 encryption, they are not completely immune to hackers. Past breaches of password managers demonstrate the importance of enabling two-factor authentication and keeping your software up to date for optimal protection.

Are there any free password managers?

Yes, some password managers, like Norton Password Manager, are totally free. Meanwhile, several paid password management tools offer free tiers with more limited features.

Should I no longer use LastPass?

Concerns around a data breach involving LastPass have prompted some users to reconsider the password management provider. While major cybersecurity incidents generally prompt organizations to strengthen their digital safeguards, it’s understandable that consumers may want to choose a tool with a cleaner record.
