PASSWORD SECURITY

Last Pass

If you're still committing passwords to memory (or worse -- using the same password for most of your major accounts), it’s time to geta password manager. My personal favorite is LastPass. | love that it allows me to securely share sensitive information (such a social media logins, etc.)
