When you surf the Internet and a site requires your user/pass, all you need to do is log in to the central password manager and it should fill the form information automatically. The other alternative is to use a central password manager that enables you to store all your web passwords, then use one key important password to access the entire database. This could work, as long as the website name is fairly familiar and your password follows a consistent trend (so you can remember them, easily). One person recently told me that they use a combination of two words, consisting of the website name, their usual password, plus two numbers. Result? If you use a similar password across the Internet, many of your accounts suddenly become vulnerable. Worse, when we forget our password, we request a reminder by email, so if anyone hacks our email account or can gain access to our email client, then it’s very easy for them to see the password or reminder.
They say that we shouldn’t use the same password for every site, but it’s tempting. The problem with browsing the Internet is that just about every site seems to require a different password.
