When I was discussing my last post “The 25 Worst Passwords of 2015” I was asked by my brother, OK smarty pants “What is the answer?”. That got me thinking. OK what is a simple safe way to deal with this password stuff.They are like rabbits “a new password need pops up almost daily”.

Then the next step is recording this clever, smart, brilliant password that you just created into the app on your iPhone (sorry for all the non iPhone people I don’t know). This has to be the most go-to app on my iPhone. Bar none.
I have had this app as long as I have had iPhones and could not would not live without. It is where I store all of my 239 passwords. Crazy, unbelievable but o so true.
Crazy number but they must be related to that rabbit family. They secretly get together when I’m not looking and multiply. Passwords provide the first line of defense against unauthorized access to your computer. The stronger your password, the more protected your computer will be from hackers and malicious software. You should make sure you have strong passwords for all accounts on your computer. If you’re using a corporate network, your network administrator might require you to use a strong password.

They provide a free App which has very limited number of accounts you can input.
Good to get a feel and see it is your thing.
