Password Managers

Do you have trouble coming up with secure passwords, remembering them, and reusing the same password on multiple websites and services? Introducing password safes –  these applications will auto generate passwords for each website and store them securely for you. You will only need to create and remember 1 master password that locks your password safe. 

Online password safes use no knowledge encryption when it uploads your passwords to their site. The application vendor has no way of reading your data and it is safe. To learn more about this and know which safes are recommended, visit this UBC CIO web page, https://cio.ubc.ca/information-security/policy-standards-and-resources/password-safes
