Many of us in professional life of or in any other field have some sensitive data which all of us don’t want others to access.
It can be your professional sensitive data which you cannot share with others, and even it can be your plan for your new startup which you have been preparing since long.
For protecting all this data from others to access the best way is to insert a “Password” Nothing but “A string of characters used for authenticating a user on a computer system” that’s what google says , inserting a password on a folder is next step to increase your privacy.
When we come across the the topic “password awareness” we usually come to see a very shocking but real fact that 90% of the android users don’t even change their WiFi password and just use the default one and some who wants to access your WiFi can just have a quick search on google “default passwords for WiFi” and crack your password.
In many cases many of us keep a password which is not easy to remember of complex it is strong and nobody can easily guess it but even it is difficult for you to remember it , So you should try to relate passwords with a thing that is close to you , A research says that people usually remember three types of things easily , first : Something that is close to you Second : something that you want Third : something that you feel cheap So you should try to relate your password with something of these three so can remember it for long .
You should even try to use a single password for multiple files and try to create a link between password and data . even you should notice that you keep your password complex and memorizable . you should even link a Gmail address so in case you forget your password you can verify that its you and recover your sensitive data .
PROS 1 – Humans can be unreliable as they can come up with bad passwords, forget their password, or are genuinely disinterested in security. 2 – With a PM there is no need to worry about remembering all your different passwords.
3 – Using the same credentials for each account is dangerous as it creates one point of failure.
4 – Good password managers encrypt all your personal data in case someone hacks the PM software directly; the hacker might get your passwords but they won’t know who the passwords belong to.
5 – PMs can keep you up to date with the latest breaches and advise you if any accounts may have been affected/hacked.
Can use offline password manager (not stored on the web/not a web browser plugin).

CONS 1 – Single point of failure – if someone gets hold of your master password, they have all your passwords.
2 – Password manager programs are a target for hackers.
It’s not easy to login using multiple devices.
3 – If the main password is used/typed/saved on a computer with malware, your main password can compromise all your other passwords controlled by the PM – all your passwords are only as secure as your master password.
4 – Not all PM’s are adequately encrypted which can render the whole process of setting one up useless.
