Weak passwords can easily jeopardize your privacy and security for your computer, social media channels and any online accounts one may have.
It's too easy for a hacker to take one lucky guess from a common dictionary, like 'cat' or 'apple.' Even a combination of dictionary words like 'blue car' is too simple of a password. Replacing letters with common symbols can also lead to bad news. For example, if you want to use the word 'smart' but instead write it as '$mart,' it's too obvious because the $ symbol and the letter S look too similar.
However, keeping track of all those letter and number combinations can be pretty difficult, especially considering that most tasks are completed online and we're required to have many accounts. Password Managers are apps that allow you to create, store, fill, and manage passwords for every task that you complete online from online banking to shopping to medical records. Many password managers also include login encryption making it more difficult to guess your password.
A quick fix to one of these types of security breaches is to regularly change your master vault password. This is the main password used to gain access to the vault of all your stored passwords. If you've been using any password manager, I recommend changing that main vault password right now.
