Why You Should Consider Using A Password Manager
For along time now, it has been recommended that we all use long, unique and complex passwords for every login we use – be it the accounts system, a supplier portal, or simply a personal Facebook account. However, as mere humans, this has become an impossible task.
It is fair to say that you most likely recognise that you have a problem with password “hygiene” because it is more convenient to have one or two passwords that use for everything, and you are therefore leaving yourself, and your business, vulnerable to being hacked.
In many cases, your password is the only thing keeping the bad guys out. A password Manager helps to solve both the security and productivity issues you may be experiencing.
A Password Manager allows users to generate long, complex passwords without having to remember them. The passwords are stored in a secure vault and can be filled automatically when you land on a specific web page with a single click of a button. We can have all of your users and their passwords stored in their own vault and ready to use in seconds.
If you use Two Factor Authentication (Which we highly recommend) for security and compliance reasons, yo are most likely tired of receiving codes to your phone via text message every time you try to login to a given portal. Our recommended Password Manager can also relieve you of this burden without jeopardizing security in any way.
Did you know? In 2019 Worldwide Breach analysis suggests 23.2 million victim accounts used 123456 as their password.
As a business owner, one of your biggest risks is your employees. when an employee leaves the company, what happens to sensitive information such as passwords? Will they always be as accommodating as you would like? A Password Manager allows you to take immediate control of a users business vault and either transfer it to a new user still within the organisation, or simply block access for the employee who has left.
To summarise, a Password Manager i now an essential business tool and will assist you in the following:
- Security
- Compliance
- Productivity
