New Year's Tech Resolution: Day Five:

5. Be More Secure

We all hate passwords. But we need them, at least for now. So use a good password manager—1Password is the gold standard, and the also-excellent LastPass has a free tier that should be all you need.

password accepted 580

Not strong enough.

If you really don’t want to use a password manager, then at the very least resolve to use the password-reset feature on every website you visit in January to replace your old-standby password with something a little more secure. And be sure to secure your smartphone too, lest it ever falls into the wrong hands.
