Hackers Don't Hack In - They Log In

That password you made 15 years ago and keep reusing with small changes makes you vulnerable. The number one way cyber criminals access your account is through weak passwords. 

Password Managers: Simple, Secure, Smart

There is a better way to keep up with your passwords: outsource your mental energy to a password manager! Password managers can store all your personal information and generate passwords that are:

• Long: BC advises 8 to 14 characters. Longer is stronger!
• Complex/Random: Use upper and lowercase letters, and numbers. Don’t use dictionary words that are easy to guess.
• Unique: Use a different password for each account.

Additional Ways a Password Manager Helps

• Supports Multi-factor Authentication for common websites using passkeys.
• Auto fill addresses.
• Securely stores credit card information.
• Stores answers to security questions.
• Tells you when you have weak or re-used passwords.
• Automatically fills logins in websites (so even if you click a phishing link, the password manager will let you know it is not the legitimate website because auto fill will not recognize the website).
